Citroen Nemo Multispace Car 1.4 Review

Mid 70s possibly my final new car purchase, and regret changing from Nissan after many years. Obviously the Nemo is at the bottom end of the Citroen new car market, but even more disappointing than anticipated after just 12 weeks and under 400 miles usage.

Drivers seat very gradually lowers itself from pre-set position and travels backwards accordingly. New part hopefully being fitted today at main dealership. Radio suddenly decided to keep playing even with ignition key removed. Two irritating faults in 12 weeks. What next I am wondering. The 1.4 Fiat petrol engine wouldn't pull your hat off! Very low powered compared with 1.4 engine fitted to Nissan Note. Suspension is very hard and small van like (not too surprising).

Having speculated £10k+ (peanuts for most new car buyers, I know) on what is a very practical vehicle (apart from its relatively low running costs and its only good point in my opinion) I wish I had spent more time and effort into assessing the options in my search for a smallish vehicle in which to transport my disabled wife and her small electric scooter. If I get any more problems I will probably trade it in (at considerable financial loss of course) for a decent used vehicle.
