Bought after reading Honest John's review and must say I agree - its very good.

Have had for 4 months and covered 7000+ miles. Changed from Galaxy - slightly less room but exceptional for a smallish car. Economy with aircon on all the time is 53mpg which is bit under the trip indicator.
Would have given 4 stars but for 5 indications of 'anti pollution faulty' causing cut outs on motorway - worrying but not fatal yet! Also problem locating 91T Michelins. Michelin are not making any for a month or so. Curiously they do not recommend 87T although Citroen have told me they do. Brake disc wear seems high and Citroen recommend replacement when 2 mm wear! Also Citroen dealer could not identify cause of Anti pollution fault!
All told nice to drive and climate control great on trip to Italy and plenty space for 100+ litres of wine and other Italian goodies. For a french car the suspension is on the firm side.
Anti Pollution fault back after gap of nearly 5,000 miles! Coast to halt and when suitable gap in traffic restart with driver's door fully open - works every time. Complaining to Citroen is a waste of time! Complained to Co-op Mtr Grp where bought car and they collected the car for repair (replacement Fuse board was fitted by a Citroen dealer) and returned it while I was in USA for 6 weeks. Looks like I am not the only owner to have had this work done. Unfortunately 'Just Citroen' dealer Keighley quality control non-existent and awaiting clips that were not reinstalled after repair. This has taken the shine off owning the car but its still good value.
Update at Oct 2015.
Have had the car 3 1/2 years now (73000 miles on Odometer) and no further problems although had to pay £400 for new airbag spiral after Airbag Fault Indication recently. Car has been to Italy 3 times and Midi-Pyrenees once always reliable and able to bring back a fair supply of wine etc. Only other comment is that door hinges are fragile as drivers door blown open damaging front wing - have seen another similar on my travels.
