but it is a pug, and it isnt hideous, its really a turning point for peugeot, it shows they arent making complete shite. Still i doubt it can be as good as a 406.

i had one on a 3 day test drive and i loved it, the driving postition is brilliant and the HUD is a brilliant touch (on the top of the range model which i had)

We are looking to get a 3008 when me and my partner have settled down into our new jobs

I favour keeping the 406, just making the scenery move quicker. :twisted:

If you thought the Xantia was good, you should try a C5. We've got those poxy bloody middle of the road speed bumps & it was better than any of the Beemers or Mercs I've had over them.

the citroen suspension is too good though, it disconnects you from the road.
