Citroen C4 Car Review
It seems that the word ‘funky’ has made its way to the world of cars, and that word fits the description of Citroen C4. After all, cars should be as stylish as the owner and its style should be emanating while on the road. Setting aside the unconventional style that the C4 has, here are the general specs, as there are 12 variants of it:
- Fuel type is mostly diesel and with the 1.6 16vVTI VTR and 1.6 16V VTI Exclusive running on unleaded
- Engine size ranges from 1360 cc to 1598 cc
- Carbon dioxide emission ranges from 115g/km to 159g/km
- Body styles differ depending on the region where it is released and the year manufactured. First generation C4s are made with 3-door coupe. Salons are also available in certain countries like Argentina. Second generation C4s are geared toward competitive racing models and are in hatchbacks with five doors
- Exclusive models have the Warning System feature that alert the driver whenever s/he makes turns or crosses without giving a head signal and other electronic warning enhancements
The main question here is that are Citroen C4 worth the buyers’ money. Here are some facts about Citroen C4 reviews rooting from various users’ perspective:
- If style is the topic, this car will certainly outshine the others. However, a funky style is something that is associated with the younger generation. This can be the fad today yet forgotten tomorrow.
- In terms of diesel engine, most average users give it a 4-star and surprisingly critics agree with it.
- In terms of carbon emission, the C4 still has the edge over the other cars of its kind.
- In terms of handling and performance, this model got the 4-star rating from average users. However discerning critics that require all cars under scrutiny to undergo stingy road test, the rating is of 3-stars.
- In terms of passenger seats and space, most users are seemingly satisfied but for those who want more space, the space fit rating is poor.
In terms of running cost, the C4 has more edge. It has an excellent fuel economy guaranteed to give the driver the extra miles compared to other brands for a gallon of diesel. The C4 is also environment-friendly as it has lower carbon dioxide emissions. Other add-ons such as the stereos are also good. On the aspect of comfort, the only thing that disappoints high expectations is its road noise while driving at longer distances.
The real advantage of Citroen C4 it is a sports car. There is no doubt about that as the C4 has been heralded as the winner of the Autosport Rally Car of the year for two consecutive years (2008 and 2009). For previous year that was 2006, it got the World Car Design of the Year. As for the final verdict, Citroen C4 is a worthy buy notwithstanding the prestigious awards under its cap but also the discounts and privileges those dealers of Citroen C4 give to its buyers.
