Well aa you all know Monday saw the arrrival of my new baby and with all babies it had to have a name well his name is MAX and the reason he is a he....Because a woman could never be his good...sorry ladies im waiting for the missiles coming this way.....But damm this car is good.

On Monday we did nearly 40 miles just driving for no other reason than being in the car and on Thusrday drove from Swaffham Norfolk to Manchester arena for the oldest daughter and wife to see FALL OUT BOY in concert and he was wonderfull, Max that is not fall out boy the car was so comfortable when we got to Manchester i just got out and that was it no back ache or leg pain just a warm cosy feeling and the satisfaction that according to the screen we had done 52.6 miles to the gallon...not bad i thought for a car with less than 200 miles on the clock when we set off.

I used the cruise controll most of the way changing between 58mph and 65 mph and 75 mph so to not keep it on same revs because of breaking in new engine anyway we left Norfolk at 11 am and got back home at 3 am Friday some 386 miles all together and still had 3 bars of fuel left in tank.

Yes i was tired but with the Focus i would need to be removed from the car by medical professionals with some sort of rope and pulley system after such a long journey yet with MAX i was fine all that remained was the need for a damm good clean out after the kids had got crisps into every space they could find.

Saturday morning came the time to fill him up and with a few miles done Friday and Saturday morning about 25 miles in total extra to Manchester trip all it took was £47.89 to fill him up again,

Anyway things i love about Max and the things i dont or would change but please understand this is only after six days so things may be different 6 months down the line but after such a long trip in it's first week i'm very very impressed with him....

THINGS I LIKE:

1. EGS gearbox just great why did i not do this years ago?
2. BRAKES wow! i think these would stop a jumbo jet feel nice and give great confidence
3. COMFORT again wow! seats great steering nice,suspension wonderfull
4. VISION fantastic great all round vision no issues with windscreen, dash looks super at night
5. The whole car rearly

2. Would like to be able to change setting of rear suspension to make it firmer if needed as we have some very bad roads near us and it could do with being a bit stiffer at times

And that is it i have never had a car that im this happy with, lets hope he is going to be good with no silly problems that seem to go on but i have great confidence in Citroen and with my dealer East of england motors (co-op) Kings Lynn
