Advantages: Space, comfort and price

Disadvantages: not great on twisty roads

As a serial carchanger, I purchsed a Y reg on of these in 2000 - 9 months old at the time - from the Citroen dealer in Coleford. It was in Misty Lilac, a lovel Citrion colour not a millions miles away from Silver, but with a slight lilac tinge - very nice.

I owned the car for about 18 months before changing to a focus estate due to a mucky dog that liked to make a mess in the car!

Looks - i think like a lot of Citrioens you either love it or hate it, but compared to the more boring looking MPV's around it had a much more fun appearance! Lots of nice curves both in and out! Not much else to say really, its a personal choice!

Interior - well i always loved mine - very comfy seats and well designed space inside the whole cab, with lots of nice cubby holes and storage compartments. he material on the seat was very soft to the touch too, nice in the summer when in shorts!

Drive - Most of the time it was a very nice drive -certainly well suited if you spend a lot of time on motorways and long journeys due the levels of comfort and space. However due to its shape and height if you spend a lot of time on twisty roads you may find its not as stable as you like! So depends very much on your car use!

Niggles - the only niggle i had other than the drive on twisty roads would be the part of the car between the roof and the bonnet, the struts supporting the windscreen - are in slightly the wrong place and if pulling out of a awkward road vision can be limited

Overall if you have a family and are mainly on fairly normal flat roads, itsa great car and can be picked up at a great price!

Summary: A very good car to consider for your family needs
