BAD things about the Berlingo
#1
OK, we've done the good, so what are the bad points? (you never know, Citroen might be reading so don't be shy)

I hated that the cigar lighter went dead with the ignition so you couldn't leave anything charging in the van (I've put a switch on it now to supply it always)... also you switch the radio on with the engine off and you get the dreaded 'economy mode'... please Citroen credit me with a little bit of common sense, I'm not going to listen for hours and hours without running the engine!

I can forgive that the van is not my ultimate dream vehicle (which some people seem to expect) as I only paid £4100 + VAT so my niggles are only minor.

Over to you :-)

It’s too quiet I wish it was noisier, and then I would not be able to hear the mother-in-law in the back.

Cigar lighter is one.

Cabin fan won't run unless the engine is running. On warm days I like to have air blowing on me when I'm parked.

No six speed manual gearbox - even as an option.

May add more as I think of them.

ECO MOD, Creaky clutch pedal and Interior build quality is not the best but thats part of the french charm TBH. Exterior panels dent easily and the stereo is rubbish!

The worst bit about my Berlingo is that my Wife likes driving it more than her AX and she just takes it whenever she likes.

Because I'm now Mr Shifter !! Oh ho, he can take the seats out and shift that fridge freezer, three piece suite, double bed etc etc.
Truth is though, what a versatile lump of machinery XX

The heater isn't warm enough and always comes out on the screen.
