Hi All,

I'm looking at picking up one of these car's soon and wanted people's opinions on it.

Insurance is relatively cheap for me as the car is a 1.6 Litre engine and as I'm only 19.

This would be my second car.

I would say no as it's French, just generally crap.

What is the price you're looking to pay?

Okay i'll just throw some out and you can see what you like. Insurance will also vary so get quotes before buying one.

Vauxhall Astra 1.6
BMW 1-Series 116i
Ford Focus 1.6
Honda Civic 1.6
VW Golf 1.6 or GTI but check insurance.
Audi A1 1.4 or 1.6D
Audi A3 1.6
VW Polo

All above are better than that Shitroen.

Could give RockstarGames a PM, he owns one.
I have been in his car and tbh i really like them, if i had the chance to own it I would take it.
That orginal photo that i took was extremely dark and you couldnt see anything.. touched it up a bit
This is his, black and white is the best looking ones (I hope he doesn't mind me posting it lol)

Nice cars in my opinion. I can't give a point of view from owning one as I don't have one, but they are a nice looking car. I would look at reviews on reliability as that is what I did when purchasing my vehicle. Best of luck with your new car when / if you decide to get it.

My knowledge on Citroen isn't great, but I do believe they are nice cars. That particular model does not come with DAB radio, not sure if that matters to you but it would to me lol. Considering it's a diesel, the running costs are a little higher than I expected as I believe it's a little low on mpg, it should be up in the 50's at least but ehhh.

Reviews say it's not a bad car to drive but is really sluggish.

Not sure why people downvoted my post, they are crap just a fact. Quote from the first review i looked at "Citroen has always struggled to shake off its reputation for flaky build quality and poor reliability".

Same with Renault, most French companies just can't make good cars.
