Today been in...
« on: 24 November 2015, 18:34:15 »

A Citroen C-Crosser-I will stress this was for work purposes not for the idea of buying-no wonder you don't see many around,what a truly,truly awful vehicle,even by Citroen standards :o On the other hand I was also in a Volvo S80,I know they're designed for different purposes and all that,but the Volvo was a really lovely car,I could see myself owning one of those-and I'm not at all fussed about modern cars!

Fella round the corner has gone one of those Citroen cross-dressers. Seems happy enough with it but, then again, he did drive a Volvo 440 with over 200,000 miles on it till the arse literally fell out of it.

Never even so much as sat in one, but they are a rather neat modern example of the platform sharing/badge engineering, as the Mushybushy Outlander and Peugeot 4007 all share the same  basic design.

Same as the AYgo / C1 / 107. Sadly in both cases, the least successful aesthetically of the trio seems to be the Peugeot.

Brother in law has one, its ok all be not a particularly enlightening drive.

He got his because the Citroen version depreciates very badly, he's had a couple of issues (flywheel, gearbox howls and few electrical gremlins) but its not to bad for towing with.

Just bought my daughter a low milage one owner C1, on 13 plates, still with 9 months Citroen warranty.  Have to say how well equipped it is for the money, but a bit noisy when taken up the rev band.  Still doubt she'll rev it more than 3K rpm.

Some of these 'euro shitboxes' and 'French crap' cars are actually very well equipped and quite pleasant to drive, esp. round town.
Not that an omega driver would admit that, or even know that, never having driven one.
