As for the problems listed,
Make sure the temp sensor for engine been changed as this was a recall problem.
Also I dont know about the Furio but the bolts on the inlet manifold like to come off, you can easily tell though as it starts to whistle when you let off! This happened to mine aswell.
Also the exhaust, mine has blown a little I think, however not sure if this is covered through warranty.
Other than that I dont think there is many other things worth mentioning!
A bet the furio will be good on fuel if driven right though!
Cheers
That temp sensor thingy, is that on all models?
My mum has the 1.1 C2 & the fan kicks in way too early, like after a few mins of driving (she doesn't go above 4K....ever)
Took it to local dealer & they just fobbed her off saying it's normal

I dont have any issues with fan coming on? what happened was the girl had taken my car to the shop came back and she was saying it was over heating! I was like you have obv been roastin it lol! She just kinda laughed and went nah not really!
Then I went out in it later and within 2 seconds of driving the car was saying please stop engine overheating!
So I stopped checked water, oil, all ok.
Phone Citroen and they said it was a recall thing, had to drive 60 miles to closest Cit garage and get it fixed!
Cunts lol!

Decided i wanted to get away from vauxhall. I had a fairly big budget, but wanted something really new, luckily gf's family is in the trade so found me a reet good bargain
I know what you mean though.
Now someone buy my corsa, strip it and XE it !!

No it hasnt, i've wanted a new car for ages, got some money together and thought the corsa had died. Realized i really wanted a new car decided to just get one.
The rocker cover gasket had gone manky so replaced it. It's tappety in the morning in the cold, however this morning i just left it running for 5 and jumped in.
