Slightly spoilt

TiredGeek · 11-07-2018, 03:16 PM

I've got a Citroen Berlingo firms van and I can't get over just how bad the thing is!
Quality of components is awful, cheap cheap plastics throughout the cabin, and the design couldn't be worse if school kids had done it. Poor leg room, a heater that blows hot air on your shins and leaves your toes to freeze, electric window switches hiding in the centre console by the gear lever..... the list goes on and on.
To cap it all, driven normally, obeying speed limits I'm averaging low 40's mpg, the F31 335dx gives me the same yet is a far far far nicer place to be

I agree, we are spoilt to some extent, specifically in that we sometime forget to appreciate what we've got. On the forums it's easy to get fixated on the "must have" spec, mods and toys that we don't have.

A dose of normal reality for a little while does no one any harm!
