2005 Citroen C4 VTR review from UK and Ireland
"Value for money, stylish, different, a few small niggles may occur"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A couple of niggling faults. The steering seems to have developed a sloppy and loose feeling, like there is too much play in it. The dealer has checked all the geometry, but they say it is OK.
However the brake discs were replaced, due to juddering and the steering was fine again for about 4 days, until it returned to feeling loose and sloppy again, coincidentally the brakes are beginning to judder again slightly.
General comments?
Great looks, superb economy with good power, 92hp unit is slightly slow pulling away (110hp probably the optimum balance of power and economy), but plenty of pull from 2nd gear upwards.
The engine is one of the best diesel units available, with no faults. However the only thing that lets Citroen down of late is the dealer's ability or willingness to repair faults when a car is under warranty. If a fault is not "out of a textbook" they have difficulty diagnosing it.
