Test drove a 2016 C4 Cactus 1.6 BlueHdi on Saturday, bit rubbery, very sensitive brakes, but it was comfy, could easy do mega miles.


Drove back to start haggling, but as I walked around I spotted some dirt on the bottom of the drivers door, which turned out to be rust, so I checked all 4 doors, the drivers side passenger door being very very bad, like 15 year old Ford Focus bad.


Pointed it out to the dealer who looked shocked and went and looked straight away.


My interest in that specific C4 Cactus ended there.


I thought modern car makers with the exception of Ford had got their rust issued sorted out a decade ago.


Anyone else here got a rusting at the bottom of the door C4 Cactus?

It will probably have been damaged repaired.

Not a Cactus but my son has a 65-plate C3 and that doesn't have any rust at all.

One of my better purchases that - It was 18 months old when bought, with 6,000 on the clock. An ex-Avis rent a car that had been vandalised to make it a Cat D. Paid £3,500. Perfect for a learner driver, and still going strong.
