Brave man. I would risk and Alfa / Fiat of a ****roen myself, but they do seem an attractive package. Evo run a VTS version, and they are meant to handle well, so should be better than the Fabia in that respect.

good luck with it.

The C4 coupe is a lovely looking car and at the price you paid it's a bargain.

I'd just be a bit nervous about having to use that warranty though

drewy · 03-11-2005, 13:46

cash price is £9000 with trade in for brand new 05 c4 with 3yrs warrantty and recovery price above was for sdi for trade in why is citroen warranty not that good

would prefer alfa myself but other half would be driveing it and buying it so her choice at end of day

Dr Zoidberg · 03-11-2005, 14:11

The warranty is just fine , you won't have any difficulty claiming if you need it.
It's just that some citroens can be a bit unreliable so you might need to use it a lot.

Still my AX never needed anything doing under warranty so they aren't all bad.

Very nice, quite fancy a nice 3 door one mesell

I wouldn't worry about going for a 1.6 HDI C4 as it's a cracking engine and is shared with Ford so it should be reliable. 1.6 Petrol might be bad news though. I've never rated the Citroen/Peugeot petrol engines. I'm sure they are better than they used to be though.

the citroen c4 has a strange habit of getting up and dancing in car parks.......

They don't really do that, well not the standard ones. It's an expensive option but not worth it. Apparently it's dead easy to scratch the paintwork if you don't take it easy with the joystick controls
