2006 Citroen C4 VTR+ review from UK and Ireland
"Not as impressed after one month as I had expected to have been"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Noisy front wipers- at the 1000 mile post delivery service the local Citroen dealer put some grease on the wipers, but the noise continued- with wipers not clearing the water properly. Took it back today, and was charged for a new wiper (as I was told it was wear and tear and not covered under the warranty). The car is just a month old!
Fuel consumption not as good as previous same sized engine Renault Megane - about 38pmg, whereas the Megane did 45mpg on exactly the same weekly journeys.
Car seems to 'creep' at about 12-15mph when foot is off the accelerator- and I have to use the brakes to slow down - have yet to see how far it would move along a flat road before it stopped without resorting to the brakes!
General comments?
The 'economy mode' is a little bizarre- all the electrics- including radio and electric windows turn off when the ignition has been turned off for several minutes. However if you are stuck in a stationary traffic jam, the ignition has to be continually turned on to get traffic reports!
