Citroen C4 reviews

My Cactus is a brilliant car - love the minimalist approach but would definitely recommend choosing a car with split rear seats rather than the bench. We've put a tow bar on and it tows a small trailer with ease. Low cost to run but it does standout as a different small hatchback. Good option for a first car with the bumpers around the car

I never ever had a test drive in the car, dealer didn't respond after initial interest in the advertised vehicle .I supplied the dealer with all the relevant information of my car which I wanted to part exchange dealer never replied very poor customer service

I like the car for comfort, fuel economy, reliability with few problems. Only thing I don't like is the spares prices.

I like this car it does and has everything I need. It is comfortable and ideal for my purposes. The boot is a good size but may not be large enough for people with lots of luggage. The engine is lively and you can expect 40 plus MPG.

This is my third C4, the first one was excellent, I replaced it with my second which had a steering problem that the Garage refused to aknowledge or cure, eventually took to another garage who agreed it had a problem and after about six months managed to get Citroen to change it for a different car, so now on my third C4 and all is well with this one

A good economical car to run

Had this car from April 2015 with 92000 miles on it and in over a year of ownership nothing has gone wrong, Comfy seats, HUGE boot and space for 5 adults. Lots of gadgets and toys to play with but the best is the cruise control, set it and forget it, makes the journey less fraught and bigs up the economy to around 56MPG on a long run. No frills unfortunately means no fun but it's not a boy racer it's a grown-up car! Mileage now 120000!

Good car

Best car in years

The above is one of my 3 cars and each has its good points e.g. the smartcar has no tax to pay, the suzuki gets me around off road when I shoot and of course the Citroen £ 30.00 tax very good milage

I bought and driven a 1.6 Diesel C4 Cactus for over a year now. It handles well, returns 58 - 62 miles per gallon, free tax so great that way. However, the interior is to be blunt is crap, I rather have my old Picasso Xsara interior. I bought it on the reviews but now understand the reviewers only test drive the car and not look at its suitability and long term use. Lets start with, passenger ventilation is poor and passenger side has no vent at the window so hard to defrost/demist that window. Only interior light in the front. Rear window so small depth, you can hardly see out with the headrests blocking the few and your totally blind if someone is in the back. To remove the headrests, the spikes are so long you have to tilt forward the whole stead to get them out. The whole back seat has to tilt forward, not split and still sits about 45 degree angle. Thus with a long load over 1.7M only driver can be in the car No fast forward seat tilt like on Picasso, manual turning knob No audio speakers in the rear. The rear window has a peak sticking out. Thus if you go through a car wash this peak prevents the car wash washing the rear window. No magazine pockets on rear of the front seats. Poor visibility looking left. The passenger, headrest and door frame makes you almost blind to seeing safely what's on the road. At least I got a list of things to look for when I replace the C4 Cactus. Gordon Fotheringham

great value and super sales service,loverly car happy man

Plus points: Good engine, plenty of torque and smooth with little turbo lag Economical, 60+ on the motorway, never below 50 on the work run. Excellent comfort yet fun place in the bends, good turn in and grip. Lots of cubby holes, decent boot which is a good shape. Gear box responsive in sport and manual mode. Negative points No digital radio or MP3/phone input. Auto changes slow and slushy.

Have purchased Citroen cars for many years, large and small, and have never been let down by one of them. Now have a C4 and find it very reliable, maintenance very reasonable and very good on use of petrol. In fact I love driving it. It will perhaps be my last car. As the years are passing by quickly, I will know when I am to give up. Thanks from this family to Citroen.

A good all round card that is reliable, comfortable and full of good tech. The only thing I would say is that the fuel consumption could be better and it does have a slightly loud cabin noise.

I have had my car for 4 years and it was 3 years old when I bought it. It has been reasonably reliable - my only gripe is that it drinks petrol - not very economic at all.

The C4 Picasso is a good, medium sized, practical vehicle which is fun to drive. Plenty of load space in the back when the rear seats are folded down. Nice high driving position. Fuel economy is not particularly good.

We have owned this car from new and have driven 132,000 miles in it. Given the costs incurred over the course of its life we are very pleased with it and would buy the same car again in the same circumstances. The only complaint is that the CD player is temperamental. The key to owning a car like this and have it running as well as we have is a mechanic that knows the make well.

when i first bought the car i had a windscreen wiper problem they did not do as they were told, finally staying on for 17 hours but the garage fixed them as i had bought from the main citroen dealer, with a 1 year guarantee. wiper motor,relay and finally the main interface was replaced.costing probably about £1000. lucky i bought it from the main dealer... car is now fine

Had it 4 years, not lost a penny to it apart from tyres and MOT Etc. most reliable, safe & comfortable car I've owned. Cheap to insure, good fuel economy, I'm just praying that it won't break down after this review!! My neighbour used to change cars like everyone else changes their socks, he bought one at the same time as me and still has it, refuses to change it! Only moan is the driver doors lack of a key locking mechanism. It's French, so they keep it on the passenger door. My plip key's broken and Citroen want £180 to replace it. They're having a laugh. It's inconvenient, but when I think of what I have to do to earn £180, then sorry lads but you can just jog on! Apart from that, good motor
