Citroën C4

Thanks to all for mixed reviews on the C4. I'm due to take posession of a new C4 1.6 SX Auto, 4 weeks tomorrow. I drive a Zafira at the moment and can't wait to get rid of it. The local Citroen dealership is brilliant here so hopefully I'll not get experiences like the one's I've read. I had a new Saxo from there a few years back and they found an oil leak while doing a routine check - fixed it no problem under the warranty. Will keep you all ...  Read the complete review

6 weeks ago, I purchased a new Citroen C4 SX Automatic Diesel. Too date I have been very satisfied with the performance of the car,and it is packed with lots of features. However, the car has been back 3 times now to two different Citroen dealers wherby the car keeps on pulling to the left. The dealers keep on saying that it's down to the canver of the road, which I cannot accept. I have now involved Citroen uk, and if need be will get in touch with Citroen in France. Would owners of Citroen C4's please let me know if you are having the same ...  Read the complete review

----------- FIRSTLY, A WORD OF WARNING ----------- I've had two C4s of the same spec now. Let's get this bit over with at the beginning. The first one was a late-reg 54 plate purchased new at the back end of February 2005. It was a lemon. A disaster zone on four wheels. To put it simply, it had a recurring fault which neither the Citroën dealer (Caledonia of Chester) or Citroën UK had the faintest idea how to fix. It was a very frightening and dangerous fault. On random occasions the engine would start revving of its own accord. The accelerator pedal lost all relationship to the engine. The RAC were called out five times, and they couldn't find the cause of ...  Read the complete review

Well, its four years are up, and the honeymoon's over. My trusty Toyota Yaris T-Sport, which I've had from new in March 2002 hasn't skipped a beat, but the so-called 4 year/40,000 miles service, done at 30,000 miles in my case cost me an arm and a leg. I knew it was going to be dearer than all the previous £200-ish jobs, over £500 I wasn't expecting. Of course, you could argue that I should now have got some money's worth out of the last débâcle before parting with the car, but if I'm honest, I'm getting a trifle fed up with the T-Sport Why? Well, for a car with merely implied sporty pretensions (108 BHP and 0-60 in just under 9 seconds), ...  Read the complete review

I have been driving my C4 1.6 HDi "Cool" for just over a year with no real problems and I have enjoyed owning it. I have to say the Citroen dealer was rubbish. The car was supplied with the wrong numberplate fitted which I had to go back and get replaced, and the remote key was broken on delivery which meant that I spent the 1st month running round to the passenger side to let myself in. I would have been in trouble if the car was a lemon but it has behaved perfectly. The 1.4 diesel has plenty of grunt which like most diesels comes low in the rev range. It gets a bit breathless above about 5 thousand revs but by then you have easily overtaken ...  Read the complete review
