Some niggles, but so far so good
Drivers door electric winder mechanism had to be replaced.
Sliding door windows did not always open or locks release easy repair tightened door adjuster.
Family love it, sliding doors great, climate control bit fiddly in winter conditions OK when warm,35+ mpg, no cup holders in the front!

A bit of a dog
Central locking faulty.
Digital instrument panel works occasionally.
Seat belts not retracting correctly.
Interior light switch not working.
Retractable mirrors not working.
As comfortable a car as this is, I believe I could have got a lot better with the money spent.

A great family car
This car has never not started up and has always got me to my destination in comfort.
During routine maintenance I have had the following repaired:
Overhauled steering as it was making a clunking noise.
Replaced overhead console as interior lights were working intermittently.
Right front door handle was replaced under warranty.
I set out to buy a large station wagon, and ended up buying this car because it wasn't much more expensive.
It drives like a car and is easy to park with good visibility out the back.
It has been cheap to run. The petrol consumption is acceptable - and has a good range of 800km to a tank. Tire wear has been slow.
The Citroen model is cheaper than other similar vans.
I also prefer the design because of the following:
- two sliding doors
- gear lever on dashboard liberates passage between front seats.

Terrific
Diagnostic lamp kept coming on at 90000 miles - reset - all OK.
This car is by far the most reliable I have owned. I believe the car has now covered close to 160,000 miles without a single problem apart from where the diagnostic lamp kept illuminating.
Fantastically reliable and comfortable family car.

A good MPV when bought 2nd hand
Remote locking failed
Faulty water temp warning light - cured when I had a tow bar fitted! Pass on the explanation of that one.
Air con digital readout fails temporarily - the jolt when reversing cures it.
Outside temperature digital readout fails - quick flick of the dial sets it going.
A very comfortable practical car, but not the quickest thing on wheels.
Economical especially when buying diesel in France - we have had 3 ski trips with it so far without a hitch.

A superb family holdall
Locking on rear door stopped working - traced to a dirty contact on the door itself.
A superb car - comfortable, reliable - okay it drives a bit like a van - but the average driver isn't going to care about that!!
Performance is impressive for a Diesel -the new HDi is even better.
It only does 32ish to the gallon - I hate to think what the petrol version does.
Sliding rear doors are a huge benefit.

My diesel consumption drops to 32mpg town driving in winter, but rises to 36 in the summer when traffic is less congested.
Driving in France I achieved 45 mpg with 5 people on board and all our holiday luggage.
My main outstanding problems is with the electronic closing of big sun roof. It needs the assistance of a strong tall man to encourage it to close properly.
With a sibling 806 HDI I return 39 mpg (6 l/100km) or 36 mpg on motorway, with a light foot.
My 2ltr HDi averages around 40mpg bit more on a run if I stay below 75mph.Can't cure sliding door that will not unlock.
Regarding the sticking sliding door - I have the same problem in the winter. Turns out it is the rubber seal around the door becomes solid in the cold and sticks to the metal on the door. Solution - WD40 around the rubber seals every now and again. Works every time.
Very happy with this car - been very reliable - have the 2.0 HDi. Achieve nearly 40mpg with mixed driving (town / motorway). Love the versatility - use as car / minibus (7 seats) / van for carrying large loads. Only gripe - poor driving position. Have had to buy a BackFriend to boost me up in the seat to get the correct driving position.

The petrol version averages 30 mpg.I'm surprised your diesel only does 32 mpg!
