2016 Citroen C4 Cactus Attraction 1.2 Pure Tech
Summary:
Absolute junk, stay away
Faults:
An endless amount of electric and electronic problems. You fix one thing, next month there is a new problem. Repaired eight times in less than a year. Some repairs are hard to diagnose and repair unless you have specialized tools and equipment. I tried to repair these problems myself, but had to give up on several occasions, the car doesn't give exact error codes on the scan tool. Needs a specialized tool only authorized dealers have - costly.
Rust in doors and around the hatch.
Coolant leaks.
Tear in drivers seat due to poor cloth quality, interior seem to be falling apart. Never seen anything like it, incredible poor quality in parts.
General Comments:
Practical, comfortable and roomy for its size. I understand why many bought these new, with warranty.
Used these are a nightmare. Build quality is an absolute joke. Seem to be built with the cheapest parts available. Spent hours myself plus almost 3000 Euro in parts and labour at dealer, complete madness. Was off the road for more than 5 weeks in total. Several problems difficult to diagnose.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
