2005 Citroen C4 SX 5door review from Norway
"Nice car+"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong, but it is still rather new of course..
General comments?
The car is overall OK+. Personally I don't like the hi tech space look the instruments have, with the center placed speedometer, digital instruments etc. but that is of course a matter of taste...
But I do like the cars design, though it's neither young-, flashy-, or sporty-looking, but it's not an "old-mans car" either.
The instruments are easy to handle and easily accessible, the car is very comfortable as Citroen's usually.
There is one BIG downside to this car and that is the performance. I don't know how the performance for this car is with the manual gearbox, but with the automatic it sucks. I can nail the pedal to the floor when driving in like 30kmh and it feels like I'm driving an old diesel van. Its even only got four gears so it's almost constantly driving in second and drinking unbelievable much fuel! I would never have thought it was possible for a 1.6 engine to use 1.2-5 litres fuel/10 km when city-driving and around 1l/10km on motorways.
Except for this it's a very nice car and I would definitely recomend it.
