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.

General Comments:

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.

The only real problem that I have had with the car is the rear brakes. I have had the car back to my local dealer and they still are unsure on how to resolve the binding of the rear brakes. The dealer has replaced the rear discs as well as the pads, but still not resolved the problem.

General Comments:

The sensodrive is great fun and really adds to the cheeky character of the car. It is also great when driving down the country lanes with all that gear changing and is toped off brilliantly with the paddles behind the steering wheel.

The auto mode is practical and great when stuck in traffic.

Inside the cabin is funky and best I have seen on the market! It doent have all that boring black and grey its bright and bold. It has lots of space and feels well made. When travelling at high speeds you don't get much road noise either.

The VTR is really quick and you can push the 1.6 engine right through the revs and its surprisingly quick, and far faster then the stats read in the mags.

Head turner! One thing with the C2 is it really gets heads turning and that's probably down to the 16inc alloys and body styling!
