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.
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.
Glad I could help, thanks for watching and have a great Christmas
That is some serious music for a Citroen!
First Class review of car and Drive Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a positive comment
I have a soft spot for Citroen too. I love my 2008 C4 Coupe, same colour as this one.
C4's are nice, I came back from Scotland in one a couple of years ago, the weather was foul and snowing and it took me ages to get back but the car had massage seats, it was awesome
Great video.. Just reaffirmed my commitment to buy one thanks Barrie! Hopefully I can find a good 2nd hand example....
great cars
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.
nice to hear , what bluetooth stereo please
@@billyboggins Hi
If you search for p5130 you will find it.
Its not a branded stereo.
I also bought a lead (£9.95) so it would just plug in.
You will not have use of your steering wheel controls regards this stereo, also lose reversing audible beep from sensors & now that its fitted i find that this unit doesn't seem to find many fm channels, doesn't bother me as i connect my phone.
At £34 ish its done the job for me + £9.95 for the lead.
Hope this helps
@@Mad109R Thanks very much for the info and bothering to reply
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
Cheers for sharing,
After watching this i have no idea how Flintoff got the Top Gear Gig Barrie. New Sub.
I'm flattered thanks for subscribing
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+.
Despite all the jokes - the Xsara Picasso was a great car! Did well over 200,000 miles in mine - lovely simple open interior with access to rear without getting out, as you know. Used mine as mobile office, van and occasional sleeping accommodation. I suspect the C4 Picasso is too complicated, certainly never sold as well as the XP.
So epic 😂
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 ?
Be careful which wheels you get, on the optional 18" alloys it is not so soft
Looks very comfy to drive
they are, especially if you get the one with the massage seats
Very comfortable car
the wheel is a bit strange it doesn't line up with the front face
Hello, good day !!!. I am obed. I need a dashboard for 2008 citron vrt Manuel. Can you guys help me with it ?
I love my old 1.6 diesel auto, it all works perfectly still. £1,200 🙂
great value, they seem to get better with age
picking one up this week. i needed something roomy, and im getting lazy at driving these days.
you certainly liked them seats! mentioned them a million times!
Big Si they are sooooo good 😎
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?
do you think that they were Designed by Doctor Who?
@@BarrieCrampton 😅 you're funny you are!!
Is the drivers seat comfortable? What about the comfort of the 2nd row of seats? I'm considering this car for European family driving holidays
My other question is, can you set the speed indicator to km/ph? The normal analogue indicator had both mph and km written on, so driving at a certain speed in Europe is easy
Immortal yes its very comfortable
Immortal and you can change it to KM/h
In have one of these that I have owned since 2016, I have three other cars including a nice Mercedes but I use the Citroen on family holidays. I drove from Algarve to Cherbourg ferry in 2 days in it, and then the following year from Cherbourg to Slovenia in 3 days, it’s very comfortable and ideally suited to European driving. Mine is manual gearbox, 1.6 diesel. If you buy a used 1.6 HDI my advice is change the turbo oil feed pipe and pick up filter, easy to do or a couple of hundred quid if a mechanic does it for you, then change the oil every year or at 10,000 miles religiously using the correct specified oil.
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
hi mate its a 16v engine lol but good video
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
Thats very kind of you, my garage email is barrie@ggcar.co.uk if you want to ask us any questions, but 1 coffee is really appreciated and more than enough, cheers I’m on my way to Starbucks 👍☕️
looks good barrie for a family looks faster than my astra maybe engine is better
pretty nice to drive although the Auto gearbox can feel a little bit clunky
Does this 1.6 engine struggle when it carries 6 or 7 people + luggage?
not really it copes well, and is more than adequate especially if most of the time there is only one person in the car,
@@BarrieCrampton Thanks for the reply! Would you recommend going with 1.6 or 2.0? Are there any major common issues with either of them? I'm planning to buy one and I can't decide :)
Isn't the VTR pack range topping? Why is the climate control has nobs on it instead of a little screen?
knobs are better than a screen, cars shouldn't have things in them that you have to take your eyes off the road to work
Does it have a usb socket in it?
yes it does, but also bluetooth audio streaming too
bro what the fuck is that
stupid place to park and shoot a video the junction to a roundabout .
Well done, you found something to wind yourself up in my video, that junction is a dead end, and i cut the video to make it appear like a road, i guess i must be good at it as it fooled you 😂
