I couldn't test drive a Cactus. I just might like it and the result of that would be unthinkable!

I think they look ok, and considering how light there are don't see the problem with buying one.

I had one as a courtesy car for a couple of weeks before Christmas due to a huge level on idiocy on my part.

The ride and handling was very good and had plenty of grip, lots of grip for a car of that type.

About 8mpg better than my car on exactly the same trips.

Very noisy, inside and out, diesel engine

The heater took a good 20 minutes to blow warm air.

DAB signal was excellent

Horrible to look at and use touchscreen thingy that operated (slowly when cold) the radio/infotainment and HVAC

Dreadful dash with no rev counter, no temperature gauge, digital speedo and digital fuel gauge

Soft, comfy seats

Horrible button operated boot release, rummaging about for a button on the tail gate isn't fun

Very small opening for the boot

Nice boingy high profile tyres

Horrible rubbery gear change.

Not in the same league as my Jazz.

i was looking at cheapo nearly new diesel autos recently and these are about as cheap as it gets, 10k for a nearly new car. obviously they wont be all things to all men but they are definitely roomy, comfortable and very economical for the money. unsure if they are as good value new however.

i quite like the quirkiness but in typical citroen style these will probably be a marmite car......

I have lurked here for 10 years, waiting for a moment like this.

I want to let you know that I would rather be anally dominated by many cacti than test drive this hunk of junk.

Good day sirs.

No idea why anyone would take one look at one and think it was wither a good looking car or in anyway practical or reliable

In the spirit of fairness, what data do you have that suggests a modern citroen is a relatively unreliable car? is the cactus disproportionately impractical for its class and price point?

its certainly economical and the looks piece is very subjective.
