2006 Citroen C4 VTS review from UK and Ireland
"Great to drive, but the faults on mine have taken the shine off having bought this car new"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Took collection of my brand new c4 v.t.s. and the lumbar support was broken on collection.
Loud bang, power steering failure within one hour from collection.
Citroen assist failed to provide me with a vehicle.
Car repaired next day returned to me with a deep scratch on rev counter cover.
Rear wiper arm broke.
Spoiler surface blistering.
Steering shudder during breaking due to oil leak from blown engine gasket, oil running down on to wheels.
Car back at dealers engine stripped down, new engine block on order.
Bought the car on 09/03/06, had driven it only until 29/03/06, have not seen it since, and it is now 14/04/06 and have not been given clear indication as to when it will be ready.
General comments?
When I had it it was a pleasure to drive with good handling especially when cornering on winding roads.
The seats are very comfortable and hold you in position.
The interior build quality, appearance is second to none, although the glove compartment door is flimsey.
Rear view is limited due to the bar across back window.
