General Comments

I've had the Citroen C15 Champ van for just over 4 years but have only done about 14000 miles in my job as a decorator. I've lined it out and added soundproofing so it's pretty quiet to drive. The gearbox is fairly 'agricultural' and you're not likely to be first off the lights but the vehicle has good mid-range acceleration and will happily cruise. I broke the flimsy indicator switch within weeks and, being a Citroen, the radiator packed up just out of warranty (they all do) but no other faults so far. The Blauplunk radio is rubbish to use but sounds okay. The low-speed (non-power) steering is very heavy, and I don't think this is just by comparison with my car. Apart from that don't miss all the other 'power' things that ordinary vehicles have at all, but then I started driving on a 1926 Sunbeam Talbot. However, my biggest gripe is with the driving position. No matter how I try, I can't get comfortable, and the pain in my driving leg is sometimes excruciating. I couldn't afford to get rid of it until now but although it has been a good workhorse in other respects, it's GOTTA GO! Sorry, Citroen.
