The eye catching C2, distinctive and contemporary styling convey an individualistic and adventurous little character.

I’ve had the same problem with the springs, both went 3 months apart, the second time I was on a country lane but luckily I heard the snap so slowed down. The spring ripped my tyre apart. Contacted the Citroen dealer who told me it’s not been a recall and the only thing they could do is offer to pick it up but I would have to pay for the work. When I said I would be taking it elsewhere they advised me to ask the garage if they could come up with a way to stop it happening again! Surely this is Citroen’s job?!

I bought my C2 new and did 148,000km in 5 years. It was a joy, I never had any major problems only reasonable wear and tear items as the mileage increased. Economical to run with the fuel consumption of a manual. I liked the senso drive, so went to buy another one only to find citeron is no longer importing them to Australia any more. Major dissapointment. I then brought a new festiva 1.4 auto, nice car but the fuel economy is much worse than the C2 1.6, which also had heaps more grunt. I miss my C2. Does anyone know a nice girl with an EU passport I can marry? (Selected essex as country as went out with an essex girl once and she fitted in really well in Oz, lol.)

I have had this since new, and now with 70,000 on the clock, the only single problem this car has given me was a broken front suspension spring. Aside from normal servicing this wee car has never missed a beat or let me down. The drop links have been replaced and that was under warranty and my last service I replaced the discs all round, although they could have lasted longer and I wanted a sharper bite. Nothing unusual or out of the ordinary for the mileage and considering it the sports model. My only gripe is Citroen servicing costs are higher than I expected. I’m really surprised at some of the reviews, as I find the build quality OK; its reliability has been excellent and handles like a super mini should and although its touted as a hot hatch. I feel it should have had way more power. My only gripe, like the MINI’s, it has no spare wheel, no traction control. It still looks the biz and I feel no need to change.

I have recently purchased a C2 VTR. Fast, good looking little car. There is one bad thing, its not a smooth ride at all. Also everytime I lock the car the alarm goes off. Talk about an attention seeker hey! If anybody knows how to stop this please let me know.

I have had mine for a year now with no problems at all. If you have a problem look up Bell warranty extensions for £20 a month - everything is covered including the clutch and gearbox parts.

I have had my C2 for about 1 1/2 years. Never had any problems with it until now..... Driving about 60mph and there is almighty bang from the engine and smoke coming out of the engine. Apparently I need a new engine.... AA man says he has never seen anything like that before. He reckons its something inside the engine that has caused it to blow.... Oh and warranty is up... so dunno what happens now?!

DO NOT BUY a 1.4 HDi Diesel SX C2!!! I had mine for just over 5 months and had it was a nightmare. When it was just over 3 years old the engine started to cut out, I took it to a guy I know who works for Citroen, he said he could tell me what was wrong with it before I told him the symptoms, he said after just over 3 years one of the fuel injectors and a sensor breaks in most of the C2s. The bill for this was just over £1000.00.

I purchased a C2 just over three years ago ..... it’s had regular services & with only 25,000 miles I have had to replace the throttle, clutch & gear box ...... The car isn’t even paid off yet to add insult to injury!! Citroen are well aware of the sensor drive problems but don’t seem to care.
