New Sensodrive

[tag]

Took delivery of my C3 1.6 Exclusive Sensodrive just over a week ago & done about 500 miles so far & am very impressed overall. I bought the car from Dutton Forshaw Preston at a very good price in fact my local Citroen dealer wouldn't even give me a price once he new what he had to better. The purchase was painless with only a quick phone call to place the order & confirm price & delivery. As I wanted the safety pack it meant a factory order with a quoted delivery of 8 to 10 weeks however I had the car in about 6.
I arranged a day off work on the delivery day not knowing what time of day it would arrive, just finished my breakfast when the door bell rang & there it was. The driver went through all the documentation then took me for a familerisation run, then dropped him off at the station all before 9.00am.
I found the driving position very comfortable & driving in both manual & automatic very easy. In automatic mode I found a bit sluggish but as I am still running in am not really pushing it. I prefer the paddles in manual mode & found by lifting off the accelerator it gives a smoother gear change.This is the first automatic I've owned & it took a little time to stop my left foot twitching for something to do. On only my second trip I dropped my wife in town only to forget that I was in automatic, I started to slow down went to put my foot on the clutch & stopped on a sixpence with the shoppers wondering why I had made an emergency stop. I quickly ushered my wife out & drove off a bit embarrassed. The brakes are very sharp.
At first the beeps & warning lights were a little confusing but after referring to the excellent manual soon understood what was going on. I tried to think of some negative points & the only ones I could come up with was lack of leg room in the back & the very sharp brakes. The only thing I don't like is the petrol tank indicator, I would have preferred a dial but that wouldn't have fit in with the rest of the display.
As I said before I am very satisfied so far with my purchase & am looking forward to driving it a bit harder after the running in period.

Boy, Once in a while Citroen dont churn out lemons.

Hope your good luck continues but I guarantee you, it won''t last.

2/1 You transmission falls out of the udder as the wrong type of sticky back plastic was used.

1/5 All Sensodrive models are recalled due to defective elastic bands and they are being replaced with bike chains.

No bets: Your citroen is trouble free for a week.

IS IT A, B OR C...... COME ON COME ON COME ON

BETTING ENDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDS.
