2004 Citroen C2 Furio review from UK and Ireland

After owning a C2 1.4 Furio for about 5 or 6 months, the engine management light came on, then it switched off after about a day or two, after having Citroen checking it, they found no problems so they had no option, but just to tell me it was a one off. After another few weeks the same problem happened again, but this time the car had lost about 90% of its power, it was very dangerous as it happened out of the blue. I was pulling out onto a roundabout and having noticed that the car had lost all power, so I decided to put my foot to the floor as there was a car coming fast round the roundabout, at this point the car only had about 5% power and with my foot to the floor the car was only traveling at about walking pace. This really worried me so I sent it back to citroen again and they still found no problms with the diagnostics, so a mechanic decided to test the car over a few days. after around 3 days or so the mechanic still found no problems and so again the car was given back to me. This happened a few more times when one time the engine cut out completely when I was travelling at about 60mph on a dual carriage way. I had to stop the car and turn the engine off and on again, the engine management light was still on, but the car had regained power. Citroen never found a problem with the car, 'so they say' and so I sold the car back to Citroen in order to pay off for the rest of the finance. I don't think ill ever buy a Citroen again.

The car was fun to drive and economical, but the problems was just too dangerous for me to keep the car. All Citroen could do was do diagnostic checks and say they could not find any problems, this was really poor customer service as I think they could have done a little bit more into investigating the problem. There were other minor problems too like squeaky breaks which they could not really fix. over all it was a fun car to drive when it worked, but it was dangerous and there was too many little problems and one major problem.
