The Ciroen C4 Grand Piccaso 2.0 16v Exclusive EGS car looks fantastic (Black)the seats all 7 are compfortable.
The seat floor system is excelent all folding flat in a mix as you wish, space is large as well. Self leveling system is obviously magic, but the idea of been able to lower the rear only means that the rear up and over 5th door lowers as well (bump your head).
The gear box is as all owners I have spoken with have said,
A danger to all. The gear box can not make its desistion what gear it should or wants to be in, you may be at a junction that you the driver has decided it is safe to go you put your foot down to excelerate and the gear box has still not decided and you are not going anyware or you are free wheeling and will not excelerate. Then all of a sudden your wheels are screeming and you are speeding away right infront of the vehicle at first it was safe to pull out.
This has been done by lots of other owners, and we have all had the ars back to Citroen they reset the gear box computer planning system and then tell us that the gear box learns how the driver drives and sets the gear box to suit. Hmmm more than 1 driver.
We have had a full set of tyres front and back within 21,000 miles we do not have a family so it does not cary 7 people, nor carry heavy weight all day every day.
We chose the top of the range Exclusive but did not expect the radeo to be the lowest range model available, what the mags tell you and show is not what you get unless you pay extra. It is very annoying paying for the top of the range car then having to pay top of the range radio (i kept the base model) The car did come with top of the range wheels and tyres which I did not pay for, untill I had to buy tyres (£150 each cheapest I found)
Miles per gallon is poor arround the doors 20-22 long distance 32-34
I do feel that if this model had a full automatic gearbox it would be a different car and I would have kept it or renewed it but sorry it is going April 2011.
