2004 Citroen C2 VTS from UK and Ireland - Comments

"I am a qualified racing driver, I clock times for various cars around various tracks and I am afraid, Punto drivers, that across all varieties of tracks (long straights, tights turns...) the C2 VTS was in fact quicker, lapping at a good few seconds lower in some cases. And personally I would choose the VTS, not just for the better performance, but also for style, comfort, safety and so on..."

The Punto has a far superior bhp/ton and torque/ton than the C2 VTS. (it has a lower kerb weight and more power) from its 1.8 twin cam engine. In a straight line the HGT will be quicker, around a track who knows.. and WHO CARES!!!

Look guys, the VTS is the better car. However if you want something to beat it and all the competition, get a Ford Fiesta ST.

The Citroen beats the Punto round the track, but as shown by those good fellows at Top Gear, the Ford tops the Citroen with a fat Jezza inside.

Ha at last comment, you really think the fiesta st is better than all the competition? yes it is beter than other warm hatches I agree.

Guys, yes the Fiesta is faster even with a fat Jezza behind the wheel, and I think it matches the C2's style as well, but once again the killer comes in the form of insurance; it is in the teens, which puts it out of the competition for general target customer, younger drivers.

Do not get a C2. They're no good. I've just got rid of mine cos it kept breaking down, so I went out and got a Focus 1.8 Zetec, and it's much better and very fast. I beat C2 VTS all day long.

Must of been a friday car brotha!
