Citroen C4 VTR Coupe

[Allblackdup]

Hey guys

A good mate of mine has 5k to spend on a new car and is looking at buying a used one of these. (Either the 1.4 or the 1.6)

Does anyone have any experiences of these or knowledge on them being reliable etc? Any thoughts / feedback greatfully received.

Cheers

Gaz

Hi,

They are absoloutly fantastic cars and tend to be very reliable. Only downside is they can depreciate quicker than other makes.

I would stay clear of the 1.4 petrol, as they can be heavy on petrol. Go for the 1.6 petrol if you are a petrol person or go for the 1.6hdi, as they are only £35 a yr to tax and mpg is around 55mpg

Hope this helps

IMHO £5k won't get a decent C4,the HDi's are the one's to go for esp the 1.6 cheap to run cheap tax etc, the early cars had really bad electrical problems (i know the local Citroen dealer well) air con can stop working, central locking can go hay wire ,rear brakes are a bugger for seizing up .The only C4 i would recommend would be a 1.6HDi VTR+ 56plate onwards HTH fella
