Citroen C2 1.4 sensordrive 2004
What a pile of complete trash! My 2004 car, which I owned for just 2 months has had to be put to sleep in the scrap yard. I would not recommend this car to anyone. Just remember, Citroen is French for lemon.

Citroen C2 1.1 sx 2004
I bought a c2 1.1 sx in March this year. Ever since it’s been nothing but trouble. Here’s a list of everything that has been done: Coil pack, new back box, new wiper motor and wipers, water reservoir, something else under the bonnet that I can’t spell, new tyre, bearings, battery, starter motor and suspension. In total, what a pile of dump!

Citroen C2 1.4 LX HDi Design 2004
I have a 1.4 LX HDi. I am in love with my C2! It has done 85000miles and the only problem we have had is when a woman reversed her Land Rover into the front of it, but fortunately not a lot of damage was done. I have had no issues with this car and it is still going strong 7 years after it was manufactured. It’s a beautiful car and I have had none of the problems that some other reviewers have described.

Citroen C2 vtr 1.4 2004
I’ve had this c2 from new and it’s done 16000km. All the warning lights keep coming on, abs speedo stops working, main head lights stay on, anti pollution faulty. It’s had a new computer about a year ago, they have no idea what the problem is at the Citroen dealer here and I just keep getting bills for work done. Once it leaves the garage it normally lasts 4 days and then the lights are back, air bag, abs, picture of steering is on, steering goes heavy. It’s frustrating, I like the car but not being mechanically minded it is getting me down, can anyone help?

Citroen C2 1.4i Furio Sensodrive 2004
I was very lucky to be given a 1.4i Furio Sensodrive as my first car; three years on and I still love it - it’s definitely the best car in my uni car park! Finished in Arctic Steel (silver) the car is a real headturner, and the light colour highlights the subtle, but sporty bodykit. Handling wise, the Furio is great with a light, grippy chassis giving you confidence in the twisty stuff. The suspension, albeit a little crashy, is respectable considering the Furio was fitted with normal suspension. The 1.4i is a willing engine - especially at 3000 rpm - and is best cruising at 60 mph. The only downside is the dashboard, for the plastics are a little disappointing, but, you must remember, the C2 was always a cheap car, and you buys a French car for excellent build quality? The only problems I have had with the car are the same as a few of the other people’s reviews. My mum previously owned the car for two years, without any problems. A few months after I was given the keys, the engine completely shut down on a dangerous road. Fortunately, it re-started after I had ground to a halt. Taking it to my local dealership, they found it was a problem with the throttle box which was replace under warranty. Christmas 2008 also brought a further problem - the sensodrive gearbox stuck in gear. It was partly due to my mistake for I had a habit of leaving it in gear and not putting the handbrake on. I left the car in reverse, and, in the morning, the car wouldn’t start (for it has to be in neutral to be able to start). I had to get a taxi to work (a Citroen C5 - oh, the irony!), but when I got home, the C2 was fine. After taking it to the dealership for a check-over, they found a few error codes which were deleted. Since then, the C2 hasn’t given me any problems since. Overall, the C2 1.4i Sensodrive is a cracking little car. Even with the problems (which have all been sorted and have not returned), I would recommend this car to anyone.

Citroen C2 VTR 2004
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?!

Citroen C2 VTR 2004
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.)

Citroen C2 GT 2004
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.

Citroen C2 VTS 2004
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.

Citroen C2 2004
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.

Citroen C2 Furio 2004
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?!

Citroen C2 2004
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.

Citroen C2 2004
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.
