Citroen Nemo Multispace road tests and consumer car reviews

Citroen Nemo Multispace 1.4 diesel 2009

Downsized from Berlingo Forte but found it almost as spacious for carrying goods. Not so good for passengers, can only fit 2 child seats in rear, but slim adult will fit between them. Side vision not so good to rear but great wing mirrors. Mats in front not a good idea as they slide round too much but bare floor easy to keep clean. Could do with a bit more storage e.g. under floor as in Berlingo or over windscreen. This is my 1st brand new car and will probably be last (due to my age not car) and this car is great for someone with arthritis like me as easy to get in and out of. Daughters both think it is ugly but both use it when they need to carry goods so it can’t be that bad. Recommend it for young famlies, older people and anyone with buly things to carry. Not for style concious or boy racers.

I love my Nemo. It’s been bought also as a replacement for a Berlingo Forte which was a much loved and used family car. It was used to carry tons of stuff including cats in cat cages, presents luggage etc up and down the motorway with no problems. When the Berlingo came to the end of its life and had become uneconomical to keep going, we started to look for either a new or used car. The new Berlingo was too big for our needs and we therefore looked at the Nemo and the Qubo. The Nemo won on tons of points - running costs on the diesel, servicing every 2 years (yes 2!!), low VED, space and full size spare (a rarity these days). Not the prettiest car in the world I agree but incredible value for money when you look at everything in reality. I would buy another one at the drop of a hat! - Kathryn Richards from England

Great functionality, space, comfort etc. Unfortunately not without problems, ECU failure at 7500 miles (9pm and -4C. Had to wait 3 hours for Citroen Assist) and now am having to wait 4 weeks for a replacement heater cable (snapped) at the coldest time of the year (9000 miles). Also experiencing ’pinking’ and dislike of moving off when damp! We love the concept but not the problems!! - Joe Hodgson from Herefordshire
