Nobody complains about stupid VW design, but when it is about this beauty there is always some criticizer as soon as I scroll through the comments. That's why I adore Citroen, they will always provoke average people. Can't wait to introduce new C6 for Europe.

A nice and comfortable car. Fully loaded with all options, like the version in the video, it becomes a bit expensive, but it's available for much less. I like the well-composed suspension and smooth drive, the nice seats and also the touchscreen. No problems controlling heat and ventilation on it, it's large and clear. Design is awesome! Note that the car in the video has the optional orange pack with stripes on the third window, but the car can be bought without it. So plenty of customisation is available.

For a family of four people this little boy is just good enough for almost all the needs. It looks cool imho and it is safe enough, techie enough, comfortable enough, thirsty enough and with all the quirks is French enough. Modern Citroens have this happy face 🙃 that makes you happy 😊. Just the price point makes you grumpy 😡. Thanks for the great review and I wish you happy happy holidays.

It's got cup holders by the handbrake but they are removable. Someone must have taken yours out already. Loads of headroom if you don't go for the sunroof. You are getting low mpg because of the automatic gearbox and larger alloys. I got the mid spec, mid engine with the 2 options packs and metallic paint and it ended up better equipped than the mid spec Volkswagen t-roc and over 5,000 pounds cheaper!

If I had to chose in the B SUV segment, I would go for the C3 aircross instead of one of the cars of the Volkswagen corporation. It has more character, looks better and is more sympathic. Volkswagen claim to build "premium quality" and try to make customers believe to buy a "perfect car". But PSA actually builds reliable cars. Besides that there is no such thing as a perfect car. There is just a car that's perfect for me and my taste and my purpose. After a long journey of finding the successor for our very good and reliable Peugeot 208 we finally ordered a Peugeot 308 SW. What had made the decision difficult is the discussion about emissions (NOx with Diesels and particles with turbo petrols). The Peugeot 308 puretech 130 is one of the first cars to fulfill Euro 6d temp. VW are announcing the petrol particle filter, Peugeot are actually building them in now. The brand new Polo won't have it before September 2018. I only can advise to not buy a new turbo petrol car without filter anymore. The same counts for Euro 6 diesels even if they already have the scr system. The vast majority of those Euro 6 diesels with ad blue injection has serious problems with NOx. They are clean only on paper unless they fulfill the Euro 6 d which the new Peugeot 308 bluehdi 130 does. Yes, there are (very) few new Diesels which are clean also on the real road, like Mercedes E 220d for example. So watch out when buying a new car. Make sure to get a really modern car with the lowest possible emissions. Just the Euro 6 badge is not enough.

It's a shame it only offers halogen headlights. I would still buy the C3 Aircross instead of the Arona, but it's really damn close. And the only reason it's close is that Seat offers full LED headlights, which are simply superior. But like you said, the design sells it.

I'm not THAT excited by it. Mainly because I don't like that HVAC system with its noisy and inefficient operation and very awkward control through the touchscreen. Its not that I am unaccustomed to a touchscreen, because I have a Volvo XC90 and love that system. For heat in the Volvo I just tell it whether I'm hot or cold and it will adjust one degree either way, or I just say "temperature 23 degrees" and it adjusts to that. In truth I prefer the style of the Peugeot 2008 and 3008 to these Citroens. If only I could actually get out of the Peugeots!! I keep hitting my head on the doorframe no matter how I try to exit. No mention of this in your Citroen review, so I presume it not to be a problem.
