Advantages: Very Unusual and unique
Disadvantages: none

...PRODUCT BEING ADVERTISED:- --------------------------------------------------- The Citroen C4 Available in Hatchback or Coupe The Citroen advert is famous for the following quote on all the C4 range adverts:--ALIVE WITH TECHNOLOGY There are two different styles of the C4 transformer adverts, which have been produced I am going to detail the both. Advert One- The advert is set in a deserted car park, and begins with a silver transformer style robot doing warm up exercises against a car park pay and display information board. The robot does several different warm up exercises before it suddenly transforms and turns into a Citroen C4 and land in a parking space. Then we get a funky style robotic music start playing from its stereo. Suddenly the Citroen C4 transforms again into a Robot and does a series of groovy and funky... Read review

Advantages: Looks good, plenty of extras, well built, spacious interior, no clutch
Disadvantages: Automatic gearchanges could be better timed

...When looking for a new car back in December 2006, I wanted something which ran on diesel, had a clutchless gearbox (i.e. automatic with paddleshift) and looked good. This combination limits youto a number of manufacturers it seems, and I ended up choosing between a diesel automatic Audi A3 and the Citroen C4 1.6HDi 16V VTR+ Coupe EGS. I chose the Citroen C4 based on the fact that it is better value for money (unsurprisingly) and looks better (I also already have a Citroen Picasso) Design I chose the 3 door version, as it looks much better than the 5 door version (which looks like a Ford Focus), a bit sporty even, and meets my requirements. I chose the "Iron Grey" colour, which I think compliments the car's salmon-esque shape. I don't see many C4s in the South-East of the UK, and it does stand out amongst the usual German marques driving... Read review

Advantages: High Tech gadgets, 20K Mile service intervals, smooth ride and good handling
Disadvantages: I can't make it dance.

...So, you've all seen the Citroen advert haven't you? Car turns into all singing, all dancing robot thingy. Well, that car's a Citroen C4 (model shown is the 2.0 Exclusive). The birth of my son finally persuaded me to part with my much loved 3 door Focus ST170. I needed a new family friendly car with 5 doors, but what to go for? So I spent a bit of time researching (and it was mainly based on budget) and came up with a shortlist of affordable (..ish) small family 5 door cars Now back to the advert. You must have seen it! You know, the Citroen C4 one that shows a nifty looking motor that turns itself into a robot thingy and dances to a catchy tune. It's all high tech and "fandabadoosy". "Splendid!" Methinks "I'd really like one of those" A proper Boys Toy, full of gadgets….and let's not forget…a car that actually turns... Read review

Advantages: Toys
Disadvantages: Ride

.... The brakes were designed by a man without any comprehension of physics. Even when bedded in, they dig the front of the car hard into the road, lifting the back to the point that it becomes loose and skittish under hard braking - to trouser filling level at any decent speed. The steering is reasonably responsive and the gear change is smooth and refined, though I wanted a little more feedback from the clutch in truth. Once you get used to all the gadgets and gizmos, as well as the ride, they are ok and you can put them to the back of your mind. What you can't ignore is that woeful 110bhp engine. It requires constant flogging to get anywhere and under 4k revs is just pathetic. Why did Citroen not use the 1.616v out of the Saxo VTS? This is a heavy car with 4 adults and luggage, we will have been tipping 1550kg's and I had to spend time hunting up... Read review
