Citroen C4 Cactus

[Tjkbeluga]

Those spornosexual guys will love this car. The door speaks of how their abs looks like.

Rear windows can't wind down according to internet reviews. Save on weight and costs also dun like that mah.

 

Kinda like this feature coz my kids always qiu jian, like to wind down. However, I wonder cross custom how ah? Rear passenger can't show face easily.

[flashbang]

The only time you need to open the rear windows

 

is to cool the car on hot day. My car only has auto

 

front windows and I just wind down both front

 

windows and drive off to cool the car. After a while

 

I realise cannot wind down rear windows is no real

 

loss. I guess its a cost saving. $99k for such a

 

spacious car is really pretty good value.

 

 

I also have auto front windows only, and discovered there's really no loss at all. So far I never had the need to wind down the rear windows. Of cos if there is someone behind then they will have to do some exercise if they want to wind it down :)

[Furrynadz]

Can the airbumps be removed? The exterior shape/side profile looks pretty ok. And i like the front especially the headlights.

 

Only the airbumps a little out of place imo.

 

 

yes

think of it as a gigantic car logo badge

u can remove, but u have to patch up the clip holes and what looks like a giant oval depression

its quite a good buy, but the cevs and 5k parf rebate, means u basically bet back a few k at 10 years, otherwise the car is basically coe paper value

 

not a very nice thing this cevs conjob

yup, so wats ur take on reliability?

 

I've chk out autoexpress on past c4 models, reviews were mixed, so i think its 50-50.

 

the weight is approx same as the prev generation C3 which is on platform 1

the c4 was platform 2 and picasso stretch platform 2

this now runs on EMP2 new platform, so for its size and offering c3 weight at the expense of deletion, its very obvious its all about fuel economy, from its emissions ratings u can tell this will be a very fuel efficient car to run

 

its like having the economy of a 1L c1/107 with an updated gearbox and almost double the interior space

 

maintenance cost is quite cheap as not much special tools required, but better to go to pro citroen workshop like T&P after the 3 year C&C, but i think the maintenance cost is so low, even maintaining c&c servicing is not that bad compared to the bigger models

 

the bugbear of french has always been 3 things, engine/gearbox/electronics

 

some old models like c4, only gearbox to worry and only if no maintain, older c5 is gearbox/electronics

 

for this i would consider the engine and gb quite reliable, just need look for electronic prob, especially a common fault for both pug/cit is fuse box failure causing glitches, a cheap 300+ job

At 99k, the depreciation for this car is about 9.65k a year. One of the lower depreciation around and considering it's a european car, it's definitely attractive if one likes the look.

 

Actually the red and yellow ones look quite sporty. In fact the more I look at it, the more it grows on me. haha...

having owned 4 citroen over 12 years, i still wonder if one day i would go back to the chevrons, never the lion...they are crap

 

perhaps one day i would...when i get bored of german...

At SG immigration, the officer may step out of their booth to check passengers. Just inform them the rear windows cannot be wound down.

At MY immigration, we have not yet seen their officer step out. If really necessary, the rear passengers can step out and stand by the door for identification purposes.

[Kangadrool]

MY side normally no problem. Just tell them rosak, they will happily wave you off.

Looks like u know wat u toking. So this 300+ job need to do how many times or at what mileage in ur opinion.

really bro, at this time the price very attractive, if u dun mind pickup like 1.3-1.4 jazz. In fact i felt twas slight faster due to its under one ton weight. Plus the unconventional design i think it should attract some buyers. Ive not felt a liking for a ride this much for quite a long time. Only resale n reliability r issues as some bros mentioned.

usually fusebox die wont show up as a very direct fault or overnight,

but it will manifest itself in various form

sometime u have funny glitch in electronic , sometime u have slight power loss under some condition either with epc light up or not

usually if happens is around the 5 year mark...too hot in our weather..the quality is heng sway, very small proportion, maybe 1 in 100

 

not a big issue, if it happens, its not overnight like battery, u can slowly see the glitches come out and its quite noticeable....T&P will know how to diagnose

i c, so what parts to change in this case - wire harness, cable assembly, relay or?

 

i just hope car will not catch fire.

fusebox

plug and play, can diy

undo 2 connector and plug back thats it

 

wont catch fire...the problem is heat causing the signal to degrade inside, its very minor problem, already said 1 in 100, and unless u very sway

 

in 4 car, 12 year and 250k milage, only change 1 fusebox (which didnt really require) but was having some performance issue related to ignition and already changed coil pack and plug, T&P recommended swap fuse box and worked, the fuse box now transplant to my friend car and still running for 3 years

How about the famous and common anti-pollution fault which will show up, as it ages?

 

Hope the newer models (both brands - C and P) have already eliminated this frustrating fault !

 

Used to own a 307SW, was the lowest point of my car ownership experience : (

happens more on pug than on cit

happens more to drivers who either "play hard/no maintain" or " pamper throttle too much/no maintain"
