CITROEN C-CROSSER 2.2 HDi Exclusive 5dr (2007)

Citroen's first attempt at the 4x4 market is a very good effort.

A mate of mine had a Mitsubishi Outlander which is pretty much what this is but I wasn't too keen on the styling do I decided to look into the C-Crosser and here we are about a year down the line.

I think that its a very comfortable car and the engine works well with the body to give a very refined and smooth ride. You can even get a decent amount of speed out of it if you put your foot down. Its also very easy to drive, my wife (who is a little fussy!) says she finds it easy to drive and very comfortable. The four wheel drive system is good and has a BMW style knob by the gear level but the closest I get to off road is a big puddle at the end of my road.

We decided to treat ourselves to the 'Exclusive' trim which has a few bells and whistles including climate control, leather and rear parking sensors. Its a very comfortable car to be in, there is plenty of space all-round, especially in the back. There are two occasional seats right at the back but I've never had any need to use them. Build quality is ok but I'm not expecting great things, it is Citroen after all.

Its quite an expensive runner looking at insurance and tax and mpg can very between 30 and 40, its quite varied. Apart from this its very good all-round, a very pleased owner
