2005 Citroen C4 HDi VTR + Coupe review from UK and Ireland

The only things that have been wrong are that there was a small paint blemish on the roof near the windscreen, but this was easily sorted and roof sprayed by dealer under warranty.

Slight knocking from drivers side front wheel, but will discuss at cars first service.

A couple of squeaks and ratteles, but again will discuss at first service.

When I was looking to buy a car, I looked and test drove all the usual 3 door medium hatchbacks, but none stood out so much as this car.

The center of the steering wheel doesn't move and though its strange to get used to at first, its excellent when in normal everyday use. Everything is logically placed and has a quality feel to it.

I had a C3 while the roof was being sprayed and I couldn't believe that the 2 cars were from the same manufacture. so many worlds apart from the rest of the Citroen range.

Excellent dealer network, have found that they will help you as much as they can.

Flip out boot divider is another great innovation as I hate having things that roll around the boot when going round corners or turning slightly.

Very economical diesel engine, has been improving all the time currently running at 57mpg.

Plenty of space all around this car, feels a lot bigger inside than it actually is, doesn't feel as cramped as Golf or Astra.

Amount of standard kit included with this car for the price is amazing, cruise control, climate control, speed limiter, auto wipers, auto lights, etc.

All the other models in this class seem to be very boring like the Astra and the Focus, but this car has won me over by the way it is different and it works.

The back window on my car (coupe) can be a little difficult to get used to, but is not a big problem.

Hope this review is helpful.
