Nothing. It's just a car.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The EGS gearbox is shockingly bad. It intermittently fails to engage drive. Jerky slow changes. Frequently selects the wrong gear for the load. Low profile tyres on the Exclusive have ruined the ride compared to the VTR that I tested (and are very expensive). Fuel consumption far higher than Citroen claim. Dealer says there's nothing wrong despite the fact that other C4s I have driven are far better.
What's it like to park?
No problem. It has parking sensors at both ends.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Loads! Gearbox problems. Fuel pressure regulator failed. Drive belt tensioner failed. Fuel system problems. Bluetooth problems. Corrosion problems. Poor fuel economy.
What's most practical about your car?
Comfortable seats. Big boot for size of car.
