Good Points: Comfy car to drive. Good hifi. Can get 7 people in and all my stuff. 5 star ncap so it's safe.
Bad Points: Poor build quality, Poor fuel economy (20 - 35mpg), My electric doors are dangerous because the sensor does not stop the door until it has hurt you or your child, door and boot handles cracked and flaked, tyres wear out very quickly, windows go up and down by themselves from time to time usually at motor way speed's, exhaust fell in half, timing belt broke 45000 miles before due to be replaced, both the built in window blinds on the sliding doors caught between the door and body of the car and tore, rust on door sliders and boot and door hinges, Boot release broke.
General comments: I have owned my Citroen C8 for one year and nine months now. My wife loved the car despite the 'niggles' until the latest big problem occurred. I got it from my main dealer as an approved used Citroen with 30000 miles on when it was just two and a half years old. Now 25000 miles later it has suffered catastrophic engine damage due to a failed timing belt. Due to the car being out of warranty now Citroen wont contribute to the repair cost despite the fact that nothing in the engine that the dealer can find has caused the belt to fail.
As a result I am left with a car I still owe 10,000 on that does not work and I cant afford to fix.
If you are looking at buying one of these cars please read all the reviews written by people who have actually owned one, not just had a shot in one, and chose carefully!
Citroen, get your customer after sales sorted out!

The Citroen C8 is overall a good people carrier , let down only by quality control and a poor interior.

I have had my Citroen C8 SX 2.0 HDi for 11 months now, and I have had rust on engine components, rust on rear door hinges, rear electric doors open and close on their own, lots of creaks and rattles. The front passenger seat vibrates at 70mph, so much so that the tray behind it can't be used without all the objects placed onto it falling off!! I have also had 3 noisy window motors replaced. 2 Climate control noisy fans replaced. 2 rear door sensors replaced. 2 rear door rails replaced due to fla ...

Over all not bad and I would still recommend it to a family. I had a few problems with my Picasso but as now they have all be rectified by Citreon with the minimum of fuss. Still a good car.

I would recommend this Citroen C8 SX 2.0 HDi People Carrier to anybody although the Trowbridge Wilts Citreon dealer told me that the reason for the rear light assembly gong wrong was because its hot in France! Told him the car was made there so should be able to cope with the conditions.
