Hi Jim

My daily car needs are geared around an estate and Diesel.

Whilst I was surprised at how good the Activa Turbo CT engine proved to be at 32mpg, it is not the same as my HDi which gets well into the 50s. At 36,000 per year, trailer twoing and load lugging, it's back to the estate.

It has been a great trip! It is a real "Box Ticked" for me as an automotive engineer and a keen driver. Hope the next incumbent gets as much from it as I have.

Seems to be attracting good interest on ebay and I've been contacted by three 'off-line', one of whom has been to view.

Nice to hear from you, Jim.

Cheers
Peter

That makes sense Peter given the mileage you do. I'd be in a diesel if I did anything even close to that...

Still, as you say, you've experienced a good Activa and that's something I believe every Citroen fan should do at some point in their lives..
