Citroen C-Crosser reviews by year of make: 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Read all reviews

I drive around 30 to 35K every year and have done so for over 20 years now so I have a fair bit of experience with Cars, Dealers and Servicing. Initially I agreed with all the positive comments about, comfort, performance and driving position etc. After nearly 90,000 miles I can honestly say this was by far then worst vehicle I have ever owned (and I have owned some real Lemons over the years!). I had the C-Crosser cutting out on me on Motorways with no warning (fuel delivery problems), Complete Gearbox failure (no Oil despite a full Main Dealer Service History) and of course towards the end the mysterious, intermittent, slipping clutch which finished me off with the vehicle. Dealers appear to struggle with the vehicle (presumably down to low sales and therefore little experience especially with a 4X4). It’s the only time in my life where I wrote a letter of complaint to the MD of a Car Company (to little or no avail) and like I say I have owned a few Lemons. The Gearbox problem meant the car was off the road for over 3 months waiting for Gear parts, this is totally unacceptable for a modern car. Avoid this make in general and the particular model at all costs.

I could only give this car 1 star due to the fact the clutch started to slip in 5th and 6th gear. I was told by the dealers this was not covered under warranty; the car had only covered 30k. This fault seems common and spoils an otherwise great car, pity Citroen can’t hold their hands up, would never buy another Citroen!

Hi, I have a C-Crosser and the clutch is slipping on 5th and 6th gears to be told by Citroen that I have to authorise the work as it could be wear and tear; sorry but at 20000 mls I dont think so, as the car is only used at weekend and hols. I am a HGV driver and just got 1.1 MILLION KMS out of a clutch in my truck so I don’t think it is wear and tear and if it was the case that it was a burnt out clutch it would do it in every gear not just 5th and 6th. I read that it is a problem with outlander and 4007 also and that it only does it with the 2.2 hdi that kicks out 280 lbs of tourqe and that the box they paired it with is only used to handle 218 lbs of torque which would sound about right for it to do it in only the high gears as the clutch is not beefy enough for the job. Mitsibushi has put their hand up and is fixing them under warranty but Citreon and Peugeot are still trying to palm it of as wear and tear, why is this? If any one has had the same problem can they call me please on 07709108827, thanks.

Bought November 07 registered C-Crosser Exclusive April 2009. Driven more in France than the UK since. Vehicle is 2.2HDi (PSA engine in a Mitsubishi Outlander chassis, Citroen styled). 5+2 seats - last row hides under floor and pulls up - suitable only for children. Second row reclines and slides, does NOT fold flat. First 2 rows leather as standard. Very versatile, excellent seating (all electric driver’s seat), excellent visibility, reversing warning (parking), air con, standard. 6 speed manual, torque impressive (2000rpm at 80mph). Acceleration excellent in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th gears, holds hill climb speed in 5th - again impressive for 1.7 tonnes!! Returns 33mpg with vigorous driving, 38mpg reported for combined - compare 18mpg for Audi Q7!!! Second hand near new value is very good far cheaper than BMW X5 etc. and far less common. This is a 4x4 designed as a road car and handling shows that. If you want a 4x4 look at Citroen C-Crosser.
