Car: Citroen C8 2.2HDI 173hp Exclusive Auto
Country of origin:
France

Lilo: You just wrote 8.5l and you have the C8 2.2HDI 173ps Auto 6speed ?
Correct ?

This is the one we have on order since mid April here in London and still no word from Citroen when it will even be built !!!

Since we already drive with the 2.2HDi 130ps but with manual box, we are at around 8.5l on the Motorway with roofbox (130kmh) and at around 9.9l in town. My wife takes the kids to school everyday and is... quite quick with the EV2 !

I was a bit worried as we can only have the 2.2HDI bi-turbo with 6 Speed Auto here in the UK.
Citroen C8: 6Speed auto only with 173ps motor.
Peugeot 807: 6speed Manual only with 173ps motor.

I tried to order the 807 2.2HDI 173ps Auto Executive but even if it is on the dealer's brochure, the car can not be ordered through the computer system of PSA ! Crazy.
So we settled with a Citroen EV2 instead of a Peugeot.

I REALLY hope it will be more reliable than the 807 we had to "endure" and "experience" in 2003... It was a real nightmare with all the electronic problems we had !

TJSKD: Please tell me you have not been to the dealer yet to complain about a fault...

I will give you some news as soon as I know where our new Ev2 is delivered.
