Citroën C4 Hatchback (2004 - 2010) 2.0HDi 16V VTR Plus 5d (2007/57) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

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

They all think it's really good.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Not this version but I eagerly await the forthcoming C4.

What are you likely to buy next?

Possibly the forthcoming C4.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£7,788

When did you buy the car?

December 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

Got a great deal with additional warranties etc.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

A welcome return to the quirky, cheeky and innovative cars that Citroen are famous for.

What was the dealer like?

Excellent service.

What's it like to drive?

Very good. The VTR+ has slightly firmer suspension which lets it down over bumps and potholes but apart from that it's a fairly comfortable cruiser and holds the road extremely well when you are having fun with it!

What's it like to park?

Pretty easy but I sometimes find myself having to adjust the door mirrors slightly to reverse park.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Only two minor faults, software updates for the engine ECU to prevent the engine stalling and on one occasion the electric windows stopped working properly but the next day the windows worked perfectly and have done since.

What's most practical about your car?

The space inside the car and the layout of most of the dasboard. Very comfy driving position also.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Too many gadgets that are typical of Citroen! But it has to be cruise control. So easy to work with only two main buttons to work it on the steering wheel.
