Just ordered my first ever Citroen, a black 1.2 Flair with red bits. Company car so didn't bother with high cost items such as pano roof and leather which would cost me a lot for little direct benefit.
Why a Cactus; a bit different from the crowd, a lot of car and 'goodies' for the price (just over my allowance so will have to pay a monthly top-up). If I had gone for a Focus it would have been a very basic model. Plenty of space in the boot for weekends away luggage, shopping, my fishing tackle. Good and easy(ish) to use technology (loved the Bluetooth features). Should get good MPG, good performance (1.2 petrol whizzes along) and not a true SUV with unnecessary 4WD which so many buy these days yet never actually use.
Dislikes; rear seat isn't split, boot lip is high (i'm used to estates) and no puddle lights when opening the doors.
Told to expect a lead time of 16 weeks.
