Worse move you will ever make. Wheel bearing, exhaust and discs went on mine in 15k  Mega slow too..
I'll never buy another CItroen ever again after the problems i had with mine.
Did i mention it overheating too?
If you're happy with it then that's all that matters really.

I wouldnt feel in control in an auto,
I like to be able to drop down a gear to overtake or decide what driving mood i'm in
also i'd probably forget how to drive a manual if i had an auto

I'd have an automatic. Pisses me off having to change gear all the time

Its a lot quicker than the corsa, half the 0 - 60 time. But i got it for comfort and to last, wanted a newish car to begin with but just couldnt afford it.
Wheels will have to stay a little while gervais, however i might look into it in july

Its quite nice, is it the tiptornic one with the paddle shift etc?
I had a funky mini beast race in my Yaris against one that had the kick down etc, was quality

I have the Vts version, quite good tbh.
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
