Test drive with Citroën or request a brochure Tweet Value 5 out of 5 60mpg (real world - mostly motorways at 85mph), v. cheap insurance and tax. Probably pricey depreciation though. Costs 4 out of 5 Comfort (continued): Truly terrible gearstick (really hard to change and odd shape), Bad seats (feel cheap). Cheap plastics, but lots of stowage areas. Driving 3 out of 5 Lots of lean into the corners and gets unsettled easily on rough surfaces. Feel like you're sitting on it rather than in it. Performance 4 out of 5 Feels faster than the 0-60 time suggests as lots of low down torque (although below 1000rpm it's a bit dead). Reliability 2 out of 5 So far had intermittent problems with turbo - unexpected on a young car, also had 4 punctures. Image 4 out of 5 Actually good looking car especially when clean, but cheap badge Comfort 3 out of 5 Surprising amount of electronic gadgets (e.g. warns you when door's open "Driver's door open" / "Rear left door open"), digital speedo, electronic brake assist, stalk mounted CD player controls (which work very well), electronic speed monitor.
