Best Citroën Hatchbacks

The 2012 C4 eHDI 6SP EGS is a very solid and reliable hatch – Just following up on my previous review of this Mk2 C4 which is a 2012 C4 Exclusive eHDI 6sp EGS, this vehicle with 130,000kms is going great guns… Read more

and strong as ever, all I do is change the oil and oil filter every 20,000kms (yes 20k as it doesn't need it every 10k) I use the synthetic 5W-30 only and I change the air filter and fuel every 60,000km and never ever had/have any problems or hassles. Yes and of course I had to change the battery after 8 years (fitted a VARTA stop/start 78aPh type) and after 100,000 kms I had to replace the fan, air conditioning serpentine belt and one of its pullies, as they just wore out, which cost $140 for both, and I did all the replacement jobs myself. This vehicle is bullet proof and a great 1500cc diesel engine hatch, great economy (I still get 950kms per 60 liters tank) has all the bells and whistles of climate control air conditioning, parking sensors front/rear and sides, lane changing sensors, partially covered leather seats with the heated/massage features, variable tinted windows, gps navigation which even today all these features are way up there and in a price range way above of what this vehicle does. Great car and a very reliable car that will not need an engine change until 1,000,000 kms.

100,000+ well kept and (like on mission impossible) its programmed to explode – Purchased a 2017 Citroen C3 Shine as a demo in perfect condition. Had the car 3 yrs with no problems. The vehicle recently travelled over 100,000 km.… Read more

Now for no apparent reason the cars warning lights come on every like a Christmas Tree. Seems like its nothing more than a sensor problem because the engine sounds & drives like it always has. The typical Orange engine light comes on every time & every now & then the Red STOP engine lights & sounds come on then I have to move off road to shut car down & restart for a reset. Often repeating the process. Bluetooth was another painful experience but maybe another time. I then had to get the car analized and apparently the computer states the engine has a knock?! What the hell is a knock I asked? He didn't know. It must be a Citroën thing. There are some awesome cars on & entering the market so be careful what car you choose. The C3 is a great looking car "but"(YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE LIPSTICK & THE PIG?) Let that one sink or google it. It was the 1st French car I've ever owned. Definetly will never buy a French car ever again. Im happy to show proof of purchase & pictures or the Dash if anyone is thinking of getting themselves a nightmare car. (I'm also open for Citroen to contact me if the know the problem. "I won't hold my breath with that one.) I will update if there are any improvements of the situation.
