Hi Brian,

Unfortunately, there is no way to know for sure with a second-hand engine unless it has been reconditioned or it comes with a warranty.

Hi John,

We prefer the look of the Citroen outside and in and how it drives, but the Long Range version of the Model Y has a much longer range, faster charging and much more performance as well. And of course you can use the Supercharger network if you're on the road a lot and can't charge at home.

But the thing is, that variant of the Tesla costs a few grand more even than the most expensive version of the electric Citroen, so you need to weigh up what's important to you.

First thing to do though is to go get as long a test drive as you can in both, as the cars drive very differently.

Hi Neil,

Yes, in fact most versions of the new C3 Aircross are automatic. There are electric and hybrid models that are automatic. Only the regular petrol engine can be had with a manual gearbox.

Hi Mike,

Citroen does not publish such a figure as the C3 Aircross is only a 'mild' hybrid. In reality it only moves on electric power when manoeuvring or in very low stop-start traffic speeds.

Hi Neil,

It's on the digital instrument display on the bottom corner. Take a look at this image of the Citroen C4's dashboard and you'll see it.

Thanks for the kind words, Parick.

Actually, Skoda already offers an optional USB port in the rear-view mirrors of some of its models.

A few brands have a camera system integrated as well, with footage that can be used afterwards. Tesla is particularly strong on this, but Mercedes, BMW and MINI also have the functionality available, while the previous-generation Citroen C3 also came with something similar.

Hi Theo,

I'm afraid not, at least not an official one from Citroen.

Hi Patrick,

There were two different sizes. The smaller one was 5x14-inch, the larger a 15-inch wheel that was 5.5 inches wide.

Hi Sean,

Gowan Auto, the Citroen distributor for Ireland, has confirmed that there are no plans to import the Holidays at this stage.

Expert answer

Hi Stephen,

To be honest, there'll be a huge gulf between the cars because they're 14 years apart. Your Citroen's suspension and bushings etc will be quite worn, no matter how much work it has had done, while the Dacia will feel tight, rattle-free and sharp to drive (in a good way). The Bigster will have far superior road holding where the Citroen feels 'loose', though the latter could mean more comfort in some circumstances.

The Bigster's steering will feel more responsive, as will the brakes and the engine. The Bigster should have superior wind and road noise suppression and with brand-new tyres it should be better in wet weather as well.

Finally, the Bigster has all the latest driver assistance technology that is vastly superior to that of your Citroen, in theory making it a safer car.
