I hope the mods don't mind me setting up a new thread to explore the above thorny issue? Basically I'm looking at the new C4, with a view to doing a deal this week, based on favourable feedback?. I know Citroen's reputation in recent years has been poor and that they fare poorly in the reliability stakes. However I like the new car, it's well equipped, in my price range and pushes the right buttons for me. On the plus side it scores well in any of the reviews I've read, build quality is better than older Citroens and styling is better than some of its rivals. On the minus side is reputation for reliability and depreciation. In particular I'd like to hear from any C4 owners- how do they rate the car? Does it live up to expectations, how reliable has the car proved- especially electrics, gadgets etc. Also I'd like to know if the 1.4l SX variant is too underpowered? Questions, questions!
