    It’s such a crap car anyway

    I have just bought mu third Citroen, a C3. I have owned a Xsara coupe and a 1.4lt C3. New one is a 1.6 auto. Obviously the writer of the “it a crap car” has never owned or driven one. Excellen vehicle. Economical to run, well engineered and a delight to drive.

    That recall is a joke. We did not get contacted about any recall? Had the car serviced in August and no mention of a recall at the time.
    We have had our car serviced at Zagame since new and I do not think they have ever been able to fix a single one of the electrical problems we have had except for the airbag light that was traced to a seat sensor. Unfortunately light came back on driving from service centre to home.
    So central locking is still intermittent, car still sometimes dies when entering a roundabout and will not accelerate. Warranty expired Sunday, Monday electrical power steering quit for half an hour and Friday starter would not work for 15 minutes.

      I purcahsed a 2004 Pluriel from Zagame and have continued to experience a flat spot in acceleration … my car dies when I slow at an intersection meaning I can’t accelerate quickly enough when I turn left/right into the intersection. Would like to speak with you if I may to see how/if your problem was ever resolved.

    You should of bought a german engineered Ford Focus, better looking, better technology, more reliable..

    I really like driving my Pluriel however there have been a couple of electrical problems that keep rearing their ugly heads. Occasionally the central locking refuses to work so I have to lock the doors manually but have to leave the boot open because there is no manual lock. I come back ten minutes later and it works. I’ve tried pulling the key apart and changing the battery but the problem keeps happening. Zagame don’t have any answers. The second problem is that the heater air chooses to come out of the outlets that I don’t want it to. This is a pain as I can’t seem to make the air hit windscreen and feet without blowing out the middle vent aimed at the body. Any ideas about this?

    Focus??? Oh please…German engineered….big hype…Why dont you menuion manufactured in South Africa…………thats the huge downside to the car from 2006 onwards isnt it…Ford Focus that were manufactured in germany were/are far superior to anything made in south africa from 05/06 onwards…

    stay away from south african manufactured vehicles…
