The citreon's are great until they break, then you can't get bits for months!

Me: Hi, I'm after anything that helps repair/service/keeps my citreon van on the road.
Citreon Dealer: No problem, mate. Oh, hang on, everything is on backorder. I can get it for you in 2 months...
Me: Bugger...

Funny but very true!

I have used citreons for years with minimal problems.
