Brad's Citroen C4

Post by Very Tall Brad » Sun Sep 21, 2008 10:08 pm

I have had this a year now. No problems apart from some glitches with the EGS semi auto 'box. All fixed now. I must say, the service from Warners Citroen in Tewkesbury has been on a par with a Merc or Lexus dealer. Very impressed.

This model is the 2 litre petrol Grand Picasso VTR+ with 7 seats. I have bought a five year warranty with it as I think I'll be keeping this a while.

Around £19500. I saved £5500 by buying the showroom car on the spot. This really was a deal at £13995 with 20 miles on the clock.

And it comes with:

Cruise
Speed limiter device
CD multi player
Parking sensors
Small fridge up front
Elec folding mirrors
Auto wipers
Auto handbrake
Panoramic windscreen

That is a very nice car,Citroen seem to be right up front with the designs of new cars at the moment.

Yes. I agree. I like all the new Citroens recently launched - C4, C5, C6 and the Picassos. Renaults have already started to slide back from the leading edge designs of just recently.

Citroen dealers get an undeserved reputation. At the beginning of the year we test drove just about every small car searching for 'er indoors' new transport and the Citroen guys were one of the very best.

It made me briefly consider a C4 or C5. The C6 caused a semi but they're out of my league.

You were lucky. I have dealt with Cit dealers since 1977 and also had an early C6 a couple of years ago. With few exceptions, they are a dozy bunch. But so are Renault and Fiat, in my experience.

That's why I now drive Lexus.

I think I remember you talking about your C6 when I first joined 'the other place'. The only V6 in the UK at the time wasn't it?

Certainly one of the first. Looking at the Autotrader tonight, there are 101 for sale and 100 are diesels. Just the one 3.0 V6. Amazing!

In for a penny in for a pound, V6 it would have to be. Anyway the worst expense on them by far is mind buggering depreciation, not fuel.

Depreciation no worse than most big cars, really. But yes, very disturbing if it's your own money. I lost £25500 in three years on my first Vel Satis.

I passed one of these C4 Picasso's tonight on the trip home from Work I think they look a lot nicer than the Xsara version which I could never work out which direction it should be travelling. The C4 has really nice looking rear light clusters, really unique.
