Own a 2008 Exclusive (leather, ACC, DVD, screens for second row), 100 000 miles, avg 51 mpg. Really comfy ride, always leveled thanks to air suspension in the rear. All major issues fixed by previous owners, just changed oil and bulbs for past 1, 5 year.

Here in Brazil it was only sold with a 2.0 engine. My father bought one in 2015 and loved the car, he has it today.

[tindrum]

That is some serious music for a Citroen!

[blakaeg]

I have a soft spot for Citroen too. I love my 2008 C4 Coupe, same colour as this one.

[palepal]

I always like the avant-garde design they cultivated in Citroen. Thank you for the calm presentation that helped me decide to buy this car. Regards from Serbia.

Just bought one as a run around after selling my Mercedes v8 coupe, love it for what it can do for me & so comfortable, roomy & economical, same car as this but blue, paid £1000 full mot & a good service history, I've added wind deflectors & a bluetooth stereo.

this is a great car the Manuel version of this is quite fast, out dragged a van and a suv once sadly thats a lot harder due to the clutch slipping badly 1-2 fine 3 barely accelerates still fast

Annoying things I have found with our 1.6 hdi VTR+. Sun reflection off the chrome trim on the steering wheel or chrome storage compartment buttons can be very annoying. There are no ceiling grab handles in the front cabin area to assist getting out the car. The small instrument panel for the lights which include the high beam and indicators sit above the centre of the steering wheel, the High Beam indicator light/LED is quite bright at night and can be very distracting, there is no option to dim unless you cover the light. The heater controls are all down on the drivers side near the door that none else can access except the driver, it has a multitude of push buttons making it very difficult to adjust without taking your eyes off the road. There is no engine temperature display it only displays outside temp, Turbo oil seals leak which are apparently quite common new turbo. Electronic handbrake great for hill starts but that's about it, I do miss the conventional manual handbrake. It a nice looking family car with plenty of room inside Ours has a manual gearbox as I was advised by many that the the auto boxes can be very problematic and expensive when they go wrong. Faults we have had at present Turbo, ABS Sensors and light bulbs. The C4 was a little disappointing mainly due to it's design features, my previous car was Xsara Picasso VTX+.

Great video.. Just reaffirmed my commitment to buy one thanks Barrie! Hopefully I can find a good 2nd hand example....

[Ryzilience]

Do you know what's very weird? The outside of a people carrier looks small and when you are in it is very big and spacious. What do you think?

[bigearedmouse]

After watching this i have no idea how Flintoff got the Top Gear Gig Barrie. New Sub.

First Class review of car and Drive Thank you so much.

[Objectification]

I love my old 1.6 diesel auto, it all works perfectly still. £1, 200 🙂

[jpsabbey]

Great comprehensive review of what seems like a great all round machine. I'm looking for something with a very soft ride . Can you tell me if this particular citroen would fit that bill ?

[obedobiosha]

Hello, good day !!!. I am obed. I need a dashboard for 2008 citron vrt Manuel. Can you guys help me with it ?

[nemanjajovanovic]

Does this 1.6 engine struggle when it carries 6 or 7 people + luggage?

[CyberZne]

you certainly liked them seats! mentioned them a million times!

[shooster]

I'm looking at buying an old 2010
or 2011 one of these cars... to replace a 2002 ford focus estate that is sadly reaching a fix cost barrier! I camp in in it and this looked like the roomiest car to get for that as few cars now have flat rear floors.

However all that electrical stuff on the steering wheel you show is putting me off.. I just need a car! It looks like a big distraction when driving!

I would love if there was a manual version of this, with just the front windows and mirrors electric.
Also a boot you can open with a key as well as press of a button up front.

It's depressing looking for 'just a car' these days...

I was staying with friends with my boot open for the dog to get in and out... And they kept telling me I'd left the boot open.. I said yeah I always leave it up.
Then they said their battery ran down if they did that on the car they'd just bought!! What ! So that's on my shopping list too ..a boot I can leave open 🥰

...maybe I'll have to get a van, if I can find one with windows.. second hand
cars and vans have got so expensive in Ireland the last two years ..

Ps: I'd welcome any brand recommendations for either suitable car or van

[paulhaugh]

Barry I just bought you a coffee to say thanks for the video for the 2009 Citroen grand C4 Picasso 1.6 video as I'm thinking of buying one of these cars as a result in and around that year, do you have an email as I'd like to send you same regarding your garage, thanks again,

Regards Paul

the wheel is a bit strange it doesn't line up with the front face
