Citroën C2 VTS (04-09) - Review

The C2 is really only suitable for two people for the majority of journeys - the two back seats are cramped with very little legroom. In the front comfort is more than acceptable though - head and legroom are pretty good and the sports seats offer good support for longer journeys.

Boot space is extremely limited, especially with the rear seats slid back for maximum legroom but with 193 litres of space, luggage room is on par with similar size cars. The good news is that the C2 VTS, like the rest of the range, features a split tailgate which is handy if you're in a tight car park or have heavy items to load. This Citroen is only available as a three-door however and getting into and out of the back seats is not a particularly easy process.

Forward visibility is good but small wing mirrors and a limited rear screen mean that rear visibility isn't great, though it's not a cause for concern as the C2 is so small. The cabin doesn't feel particularly sophisticated and there are plenty of low rent plastics on show, but the design is neat. There's a large digital speedo, which means you always know the exact speed you're travelling, while the rev counter is a funky-style gauge. The steering wheel adjusts for height only (there's no reach adjustment) so finding a good driving position isn't always easy.
