Citroën C4 Coupe (2004 - 2010) 2.0HDi 16V VTS 3d (2006/06) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Bought the wrong car..... Didn't suit me I just needed something quick.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They liked the look of it but didn't like the amount of issues I had and how many lifts I had to ask for when it was being repaired.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Nope, will never buy a Citroen again.

What are you likely to buy next?

Skoda Octavia VRS Estate (already purchased).

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£3,869

When did you buy the car?

May 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

I guess it was a good deal, reasonable part exchange price for my old car.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted a diesel as the millage I was doing increased and a petrol just wasn't cutting it.

What was the dealer like?

Problematic as alot of used car dealers are, they don't like people who know their rights when purchasing a second hand car. Problems were resolved eventually though.

What's it like to drive?

Steering is very sketchy, very firm ride which made the interior rattle going over pebbles! Motorway driving wasn't too bad, gave good MPG on a long trip but nothing near more modern diesels.

What's it like to park?

Horrible, the turning circule is woeful and you need a field next to the car beside you as the doors as so long you risk smacking them if any closer.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Yep: Directional and auto level headlights (both sensors needed replacing) Turbo, the actuator failed under 70,000 miles! Very expensive fix Clutch and Dredded dual mass flywheel, failed under 80,00 which I believe is average Parking sensors CD Autochanger.

What's most practical about your car?

The boot space isn't too bad with the seats down, can fit a fair few boxes etc in it.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Didn't have one really, if I had to choose auto headlights/wipers.
