Citroen Grand C4 Picasso Grand Picasso 2007

Put one as you can’t put 0 stars. Have owned a grand picasso diesel with automatic gear box for less than 48 hours, and already it’s in the garage. The parking break failing and ESP failing as well as service lights went on, car immobilized, one day sat at the dealer’s, had to take bus home as waranty only kicks in after so many hours, so had to go and get rent a car 25 km from home at night. Was enjoying it untill then, wish I had bought Volkwagen.......................... How can Citroen sell defective cars like so ??????????????????

Citroen C5 1600 diesel 110 hp 2005

A HEALTH warning for all owners of this model. Bought this car with 200 miles on the clock ex demonstrator my most recent of many faults was the so called environmentally friendly particle filter. It may be friendly to the environment but it is not very friendly to the driver.It is recommended that you replace this filter every 70.000 miles in the service book. I have had the car for two years with 28.000 on the clock now. It has been serviced regularly by the Citroen dealer I bought it from. Last service was 4000 miles ago when I had to have the gearbox rebuilt due to faulty parts but thats another story. Drive up to 100 miles a day to work. And put it down to my age feeling tired . irritated eyes , breathlessness, sore joints,stuffed nose, palpitations, and feeling really bad. Aged mid fifty. Then I started noticing the dashboard display was becoming discoloured and decided to check under the bonnet. Where I discovered that the turbo was covered in very heavy soot and after reving the engine and seeing the ammount of smoke that was coming back out of the turbo it was not hard to work out why the displays were stained and why I was feeling so bad as it was evident that fumes were coming in to the cab. This could have been a fatal situation. Took it back to the dealer and told them the whole story. It was with the dealer for two days the first day they had to order parts the second day they phoned to say it was ready. I enquired what had been wrong with it and the lady in the service dept replied that they had replaced the particle filter because it had become clogged by carbon build up and was stopping the exhaust fumes from getting out and that Citroen UK had a fault number against it so they were aware of it. I was completely shocked by this response surely if they knew about this fault it should have justified a recall. For such a thing to be advertised as environmentally friendly is a joke and Citroen need to come clean and admit these faults before there is a fatality. Got my car back with all the staining still in place. Looks like an old worn out car. Still waiting to find out the affects it has had on my health. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED have not got time to go through the rest of the faults.

Citroen Relay 2.0HDi 1100 SWB 2005

Good van, works hard. Nice and quiet and very comfortable cab. Fully adjustable seat and steering column make it very easy to find the perfect driving position and lots of space for stowing odds and ends. Good access to load space in the rear. Good all round reliable van.

Citroen C2 Enterprise 1.4HDi Enterprise 2007

I needed a vehicle that would be spacious enough for my work and would still be something I would want to drive for personal use, the C2 Enterprise is absolutely perfect for this. The steering took a little getting used to but it drives very well. It also comes with ABS as standard and and gives a generous 63mpg. Very stylish and comfortable and much nicer than schlepping round in a hulking big van. Beautiful.

Citroen C4 2.0HDI Exclusive 2005

Most unreliable car I have ever owned. Ironic really, as my wife has had 2 Saxo’s and a C2, and I chose the C4 because her cars had been so reliable. The story so far is nearly 30 days of the road already this year alone (2007). Here is the list, as they say, "in no particular order": Electric windows failed (about a dozen times), loss of engine power (more times than I can remember - probably about 50), parking sensors failed (twice), headlights failed (once), tyre pressures failed (twice), air conditioning leaked into the cabin (once), turbo failed (3 times), turbo sensor faulty (once), catch on the back seat so you could not use the back seats (once), some weirdly named valve (once), cruise control (not worked for 2 years), immobiliser stranded me (once), depolution system (lost count, but around 10 times I think). Finally, I have also had 2 recalls from Citroen. Most recently the CD player will not let go of my CD’s. Think a comedian is at work, as it ejects the CD so you can see 2-3 mm’s of CD sticking through the hole, then instantly re-loads it. If I am quick I can win this battle of wills, but usually takes me 2 or 3 goes! Disturbing that the car beats me more often than I beat it, but that is its only sign of being "alive with technology", as most of the technology in mine has died. I have been trying to get rid of the car, but unfortunately it is a company car so it is beyond my control. If it was my own car I would definitely feel a little more emotional. Citroen UK have been disinterested when our Transport Manager has complained to them - odd when he has bought a significant number of Citroens in the past. They did give us a case reference number. Don’t really see the benefit, as once they had done that they lost interest. Best e-mail started "we have reached the end of the line with this car, we don’t know what else we can do". This was when the car still had 2 or 3 faults, the engine one being serious (regular loss of power when cruising on the motorway) and re-occurring. The only 2 positive things I can really say about my car is that our company now operates a "no Citroen policy" and contrary to most reports I have read, the dealer I use has been excellent, and I now think of Steve the Service Manager as a friend! If anyone is interested, the dealer is Brooklyn Citroen, Worcester. Just remember to tell Steve that Phil sent you.

Citroen C15 Champ 600D 2004

Odd looking thing but don’t be put off because it’s a really good reliable workhorse. Mine has taken a real battering but still keeps going and has hardly cost anything since I bought it new. Nothing fancy about it, very basic cabin but still comfortable to drive. Good van.

Citroen Berlingo 1.9D 600LX 2006

Having driven the old style Berlingo, Citroen have definately improved just about everything on this van. Good dash layout, comfortable driving position, quiet engine, less body roll, a very drivable van. I spend on avarage 6hrs everyday driving so I can honestly say that this is a very comfortable van to drive. Good load space too.

Citroen Grand C4 Picasso 1.6 HDi SX 5dr 07

Brilliant car. We have 2 kids and a Welsh border collie and have plenty of space for all three. Very good cabin layout and extremely comfortable. It also comes with Isofix, which is perfect for our 13 month old. Very economical to run and very easy to drive. Visibility is excellent and it handles like a much smaller car. My wife also feels confident driving this and she’s not a great lover of driving. Very quiet engine. All round excellent car.
