Citroen Berlingo reviews

Only had the car for a short while. It is the second Belingo we have had and if it lasts as long as the first we will be more than satisfied with it. Being that bit higher makes you feel that much safer when on the motorways. Very comfortable for a long journey.

Although I'd probably prefer a smaller car, the Berlingo suits my family needs and so I find it reliable and overall a relatively comfortable car. With grandchildren needing child seats and hauling larger items, the car is a useful size and easy to get in and out of especially the passenger sliding doors. It as an automatic gear box which after a year I'm still getting used to. It's supposed to be more fuel efficient but I haven't really seen that much of a difference from my previous similar car. It is somewhat more ecologically friendly in that the motor shuts off when stationary, however, I will be thinking about getting a 'greener' car next time around.

Brilliant for carrying stuff around. For instance going camping, taking stuff to the tip, collecting stuff from IKEA, etc. Very quick to convert. Excellent for popping pushchairs, etc in the boot. Not the most powerful engine, but we knew that when we bought it. A whole lot of car for £9000.

I find the car great for my job (gardener)and it is very practical and the boot width and height makes it easy for transporting plants tools etc . It is fairly economical too and 5 fit very comfortably for journeys

New 'boxier' shaped models are superior to previous models. Build quality is much better. Feel 'solid' for longer. Fairly economical, although I'd never buy a petrol model again... I get about 120 miles more to a tank of fuel with the diesel.

Having had the earlier model Berlingo, which was very much based on a van but very practical I am very pleased with the later model. It is larger but still surprisingly agile. The 1560cc diesel engine is quite quick and gives a smooth drive with good economy for a large vehicle. Build quality is ok but is Citroen (bits of trim come off). Nothing major but annoying. You have to remember that Citroen parts are cheap! As I am quite tall the massive head room and huge leg room both front and beck are welcome. You will never run out of stowage space as there are numerous cubby holes and even an internal roof rack! The only minor moans are quite a firm ride and fairly rapid tyre wear, which seems to be common on this car. All round I have been quite pleased with this vehicle and would suggest the model if you need a roomy 5 seat multipurpose vehicle.

The Citroen Berlingo is an excellent car for a family. Plenty of space, comfortable and easy to drive. It has good economy and great features.
