"Holds to the road like glue"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Since I purchased the car the rear brakes have insisted on being as noisy as possible. Took it back to the dealer for a cure to the noise and was fobbed off with a "Brake dust" excuse.

Doors, if closed too harshly sound as if they might fall off. But are solid if treated with care.

Cabin can become warm quite quickly once the car has been started which is probably due to engine being so close.

Air circulation can be noisy above 2 but only irritating when on 4.

General comments?

All the bad things said about the C2 above are easily made up for by its looks alone. Interior and exterior have both been styled brilliantly, making it both acceptable and unusual.

Holds road very neatly, and cornering is also a strong point. The stiffened suspension makes this possible without too much of a bumpy ride when you're taking it easy. But this also makes it slightly skittish on crap lumpy roads when at speed. With a manual gearbox added to the formula the driving is totally down to you, which I love.

Regarding your rear brakes, Citroen has issued a refresh on the rear brakes in other words a recall! If you take it to any official Citroen deal it should still be covered under warranty and repaired for free! It is a problem with the hand brake release on the rear calipers. I had the same problem, but it has been sorted! ever since no noise!

Could somebody let me know what they think of the GT compared to the VTS if you have tried both. With regards to performance. I test drove them both and I actually felt as if the GT was quicker???

I have also driven both cars and I felt the gt felt quicker, the vts has more bhp, VTS 125 GT 110, but the Gt is much lighter and has more torque VTS 105 to the GT 108 so with these 2 car it's more or less down to the driver.
