Citroen C2 1.4 diesel 2006
Great for just over 4 years, fantastic. NOW USELESS!! As are Citroen dealerships. Electic warning system shows that everything is faulty, brakes, ESP, Airbags etc and no speedo. Garage confirms that everything is OK (and just passed MoT but they are non plussed as to the electrical fault, won’t even give an estimate. Diagnostics don’t show any issues. KEEP CLEAR!

Citroen C2 2006
I bought a C2 1.1 sx last year for my birthday. Within one day the car was back in Citroen as the timing belt bearings were worn out. After that I had none stop problems with the car, it broke down minimum 3 times a month. The car was showing the engine managent light and Citroen claimed they fixed it but the day after it came on again. I had the ignition coil changed 5 times by the AA and also the spark plugs from a local garage. At one point I was on the M6 and the car lost all its power and swerved from the third lane to the first and I had no control over the car, when I got on the hard shoulder I called the AA and the car started working fine. I had the battery server, and stepper motor replaced by Citroen but I’ve still got problems. At the moment the battery keeps dying and the cental locking does not work once the car’s turned off. Citroen claim my car has only been in to them once yet they know everything about my car when they hear my name and I have reciepts for every time it went in. Now they say they can’t do anything about the car and it’s my fault; they also say the car is not faulty and if i want it checked again they will get the manager of service to check it and maybe write it off!

Citroen C2 1.1 Design 2006
A family member bought a Citroen C2 1.1 Design in 2006. The Citroen beeps most of the time, for example - faulty airbag, faulty full-beam, faulty indicator. I got them fixed, then within days the faults came back again. All it does is beep. I rang Citroen and they said "bring the car in" but that would cost £100-200 just to look at it. It is a nice car too look at and drive but the electronics are a disgrace; I wouldn’t buy one due to the electronics faults. Apart from that the car is good. Citroen should do something about this problem and not rip us off.

Citroen C2 vtr 1.6 sensodrive auto 2006
I bought this car 7months ago, a lovely looking sporty little motor no problems until the seventh month of ownership, then one morning nothing, the car was completely dead. The battery was tested & was fine but due to it being an auto had to have it put on a recovery wagon. My local garage said it was stuck in gear & they managed to sort that but still couldn’t get it started. They put it on their diagnostic machine but it couldn’t read the codes so then it had to be put back on the recovery wagon & taken to a Citreon dealer. The gearbox management system had shut down all electrics and repairs would be £1050.00. Three weeks later it’s still in the garage awaiting parts from France. So now after a month with no car it will hopefully be ready Friday!! When I finally get it back it’s going straight to a garage to be sold; Citreon after sales service is abysmal. DONT BUY THIS CAR!!!

Citroen C2 1.4 HDi 2006
5th gear shaft snapped off, then starter motor gave up, now the engine cuts out every 30 seconds. What a load of junk.

Citroen C2 VTR 2006
Wayne - I guess you got the "built on a Friday afternoon lemon" as I have the C2 1.6 VTR Sensodrive & it has been a superb little car! I collected it brand new in Sept 2006 on the Motability scheme - I’ve covered 28,000 miles and not a single thing has gone wrong! I did have a recall from Citroen last September (something to do with a part for the ABS), but other than that - it’s been great. It looks great - drives well - is fast for such a small motor - and the paddle-shift gearchange/sensodrive box is very responsive & quick. Unfortunately Citroen have stopped making this car now - you can only buy a 1.4 VTR ’Stop and Start’ - which is plain stupid & ridiculous - a real blunder by the French Company as who the heck wants something as daft as that?!?! It (being a Motability car) is due for replacement this coming September as the 3 years lease on it is up. I’d have loved another identical car... but no way am I opting for the bloody daft ’stop & start’ version! Therefore - and sad to say - I am looking at the new Ford Fiesta or the Mazda 2. But - whatever I decide - I have loved every moment of my C2 VTR. It’s been a real joy - lots of fun... sheer happiness!

Citroen C2 1.4 Design 2006
I bought my Citroen C2 from Dutton Forshaw as a demonstrator and it had done 15000 miles. I have done 8000 on top and my clutch bearing has gone and they said its not covered under my warranty and to get a new one is £500. Does anyone know what I should do?

Citroen C2 VTS 2006
Had VTS since new and only done 20000 miles. Since new it has been back and forth to dealer. Revving when changing from 4th to 5th gear. Now the clutch has started to slip and have been told it needs a new clutch, which is not covered by warranty (surprise surprise!) - Cost of this £700 to £800!!

Citroen C2 VTS 2006
C2 VTS 56 PLATE DO NOT BUY THIS CAR. I wanted something sporty after owning a heavy VW 1.2 POLO 04 reg. There was nothing wrong with my VW obviously, but just wanted some power. Anyway got this car in June 2008 and I wish I could turn back the clock and get my old car back... I mean where do I start!!!! The Gearbox is horrible; it’s clicky it doesn’t go into gear easily - it makes weird noises and it grinds, and it’s only 2 years old. The suspension is knackered already and I’m 100% certain there’s a steering rack fault which Citroen deny under their warranty scheme (surprise surprise.) The car rattles everywhere - it’s made from jelly, the parcel shelf rattles and squeaks, take the parcel shelf out and the boot still squeaks, the door cards rattle, the speaker covers rattle, everything rattles! It’s terrible! The paint is tearing away by the day; I admit to having stone chips on the VW but this is 2 years old and there’ll be no paint left on the bonnet soon!! The power delivery is not consistent at all, you think its sporty, but you will have to absolutely thrash this car to pieces to get anything out of it and this is probably why my engine makes very funny noises on idle. However, if they’re going to advertise a car as a hot hatch then make it one for gods sake!! My intake manifold bolts fell off within about a week of ownership (watch out for this VTS owners, and if you do own one I feel very sorry for you!) I now have a mysterious knocking from behind the stereo when I turn full lock and when it goes over some bumps. To top this list off it wouldn’t start for about 2 minutes on a cold morning the other day ha ha, imagine when its 6 years old it’ll be on the scrap heap! This car was registered in very late 2006 and all these problems already!! If you were thinking of buying one then don’t, they are crap. I’m only writing this to fend off any potential buyers as I paid a lot of money for this car every month and I don’t want you to do the same and fork out your hard earned cash for this French rubbish. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON’T BUY! I WANTED ONE TOO ONCE, BUT NOW I REALLY DON’T! Can’t wait to sell it, I’d rather get the bus (yes I’d rather get the bus!). In fact I will be doing for some time now as this car will only give me a slight profit after paying the finance! Rant over.

Citroen C2 vts 2006
Just had my c2 vts 2 weeks now - very impressed with the speed, handling and looks - amazing too. Head turner too. Raced a few cars now and beat them easy - left a c2 vtr standing and also the saxo vtr (killed it). Raced a Lexus is200 - beat that too and also did a new Aastra sri 150 diesel; so plenty of power to play with. The thing I’m impressed with is the 0-60 speed of 8.1 considering most 2 litres 2 l8 6s early 7s and 160 bhp plus the c2 vts time is amazing considering its a 1.6 16 valve. All in all I think its a great car; cheap insurance (group 2) at group 8.

Citroen C2 2006
Great car. Had mine coming up to 3 years now and not had one problem with it. The build quality could be better as it does rattle a little but I’ve found it to be very reliable and handles really well. However, I don’t advise going to Citroen for services as their after sales service is really bad and services are way over priced.
