I bought the Citroen C4 (2007), 2.0, vtr+, petrol in order to have a little bit of extra power on the road. It is a great vehicle. Good safety, little road noise, good fuel consumption and very little problems and failing parts. It needs to be well maintained since the cabin quality and wear and tear can deteriorate quickly if not careful. Service costs are approx. £200 per year in order to keep on top of maintenance and unwelcome surprises. Alloy wheels can be easily damaged so be careful when parking. Also the Citroen C4 cabin fragrance for the pre 2011 models is very difficult to find with only ebay offering out of date refills. Car seats and trim withstand the the test of time. However, plastics and steering wheel buttons can loose colour and shine. Also beige roof and plastics tend to get grey dust difficult to remove. The only thing I would suggest to be aware is the condition of the air condition. Cold air seems to have difficulties after 3-4 years with re-gassing needed to be done annually. Still cold air not freezing with maybe need to repair/replace air condition parts. Great car that is regularly maintained should not give you nightmares Basil

I like the Citroen C4 vtr plus because its very comfortable to drive. I used many times for long drive and some parts of them are made of plastic so you dont worry about rust. I dont like rusty cars. Perfect for me other than golf and cheapest than other cars made in England.

I bought a Citroen C4 Coupe 1.6 16v VTR Plus after I checked all the other similar cars (Nissan Tiida, VW golf, Mazda 3, Suzuki Swift, Chevrolet, New Astra, Renault Megane, Kia Ceratto, Toyota Auris).
This Citroen (by the way, it wasn't on my list) is the most comfortable of all those above. Much more accessories. A different look. Wide doors.
This coupe is great for tall guys like me because the doors are big, so you have full visibility to the right and to the left. With the 4 doors version, your head is just between the doors, and you can't see if you turn your head.
It is also one of the fastest cars.

You have all the toys inside (cruise control, AC, airbags, etc)

The seats are very comfortable and you can regularise them - something very important for tall people.
