I think the problem w/ Citroen is that they made the world's best cars for years until the other manufacturers took all the good and cheap ideas they could from them and then Citroen couldn't compete any more.
@deezynar you're joking right? I went from a Polo GTI to a DS3 Sport. And I can not stop raving about the suspension. The suspension in the Polo held the car nicely and cornered well but it has a very firm ride and you could feel every bump. The DS3 corners just as well as the GTI but it's so bloody supple on rough surfaces you forget you're in a hot hatch. And the stand out thing for me is probably the styling. For this styling, you have to choose Italian or French cars.
From the late 50's thru the mid 70's, Citroen was far ahead of everyone else in almost every catagory. In the mid 70's, other manufacturers started to get a bit more aero, added discs to the front wheels, more aluminum, etc. They took the good CHEAP ideas. No one has matched the suspension because it's not cheap. Most people have never driven a Citroen so they don't know what they're missing. The other guys have narrowed the gap, but they haven't caught up.
@deezynar thats true. I must say I was doubting the change to a Citroen from other people's issues with them. But I must say, it has been the best move of my car history. :))))))))
I'm glad to hear you like it. They don't bring Citroens here to the US any more. My dad had a DS when I was a kid & he always talked about how much better our car was than all the other brands. I'd love to have a Citroen but can't, unless I get an old one. I suppose that if the European standards ever get as stupid as ours they could bring them here without needing any changes. That'd be good for us, but bad for you.
Like other makers, they seem to be cramming in too much electronic junk, much of which may not be so serviceable. I have had big Citroens in the past & loved them, but now I hesitate and think back to the days when they made good cars. -- No more, I fear.
I drive a Citroën C4 now, it's a practical, comfortable car that has already proved its worth in that year i got him, suspension is just amazing in comparison to other brands like Audi, Bmw, Opel, VW and so on, the fact that Sebastien Loeb just won his 8th wrc title with a citroën already said enough, if you want reliability, go for citroën, if you like comfort, chose citroën.
the interior is simply superb!!!
comparable with the Panamera and whey nicer than Bentley's or S class...

@MikeAnglichanen unwanted? unreliable?
Ever drove a Citroën? Left alone, owned one?
