Citroen C-Crosser : Why not?
Discussion
I've been a long-term Citroen fan, the last I had was a C6 which was written off when someone turned across me out a junction.
I'm currently in an Alfa 159 Sportwagon, but I'm aware of some impending large bills so am planning on WBACing it and getting something else.
A C5 2.7 Exclusive estate is one option, and I'm familiar with both the engine and the suspension obvs...
But what about the C-Crosser? The appeal of 7 seats is strong due to occasional family stuff as is it being a 4x4 as I'm a keen skier and driving to the Alps is not an uncommon trip for me.
There's a couple of Exclusives not far from me which, albeit high-is mileage seem to be in pretty good nick and well equipped.
My thinking is that as most of the underpinnings is Mitsubishi, they should be solidly built and parts easily available, and the 2.2 diesel seems to be a pretty decent lump (apart from occasional complaints about crankshaft oil seals for which there seems to be more anecdotal reports on cause and fix than hard fact?)
There is also the strange draw that, although not being 'interesting' in itself, they are quite rare.
