Had mine for 9 months now and love it. Daily drive it is a beautiful place to be, comfy and quiet but it's on B-roads where these cars shine, these cars are like go karts on windey twisty roads, fantastic grip in the corners and plenty of power coming into the straights. The steering is spot on, you feel everything and really connects you to the experience of powering through a series of S-bends
I am considering buying a 2017 pure tech 110 EAT6. That is what you have? Any concerns or issues with it? How is the acceleration when trying to pass on the motorway? I prefer the BlueHDi diesel, but I can't find one in Portugal that meets my other criteria, so the 2017 pure tech 110 EAT6 is likely my best option. Timing belt has not yet been changed b/c the car has only 54,000kms. Any advice or impressions you have would be very helpful!
@@jeffpender5423 the acceleration is pretty good for a 1.2, the turbo helps a lot for an extra bit of oomph for this. These cars are sensitive to servicing so I'd religiously have a good service every year, especially oil changes, these cars love clean oil. With regards to the timing belt they are usually recommended about 80-100k but I think there was a recall or something from Citroen/DS about the belts, if you can talk the seller/garage into doing the belt before you buy it then at least you'll have peace of mind. They are prone to developing rust under the wing mirrors which Citroen/ds is very reticent about rectifying. Apart from that they are fantastic cars, try and get one with as much service history as you can
@@mathewdavies6472 Thank you Mathew for that reply! I do have the full service history, so that is reassuring. I will likely err on the side of caution and change the timing belt a bit early anyway. Unfortunately the seller would not change it for free this early for me, but it was worth asking! I have read blogs where people say the type of oil matters a lot to these cars, but then didn't say WHICH type of oil. They only said "high quality" which was a bit vague. Do you have any info on this by any chance? I am looking forward to getting it in a couple of weeks and the cabriolet option should be a bit of added fun.
@@jeffpender5423 I try to use Castrol 0w30 C2 as much as I can, can't guarantee for the garages though. Good idea on the belt, at least you'll have peace of mind it's been done.

I currently have this car during my driving lessons, I love it! Too bad it's an expensive car, at least for a student like me^^
watch out for the broken springs and all the other
How does feel good when driving it?
It drives very nice
Road Fanatic it's it a smooth ride
Thanks :)
get a room!!
no botton on the steering wheel
A steering wheel is for steering, not for playing around with buttons...!
