    Hi

    I am currently looking at a citroen C4. I have never driven one before bar the test drive i took it on, its a 2008 diesel. I found the car quiet comfortable to drive with good power but I am unsure of making the plunge as I know very little about this brand.
    The main reason I am going for this car is the fuel efficiency that it provides, or I am led to believe.

    The car has a turbo, would this be something that requires changing after a few years? Are there any questions I should be asking regarding the turbo?

    The side door panel sounds empty when you close it shut, what sort of dollar would it cost to repair this?

    Are there any other bits of advice I could get on citroen's that I should be asking the seller, all tips are very much appreciated.

    Hi

    I am looking to change my car from a petrol to a diesel.
    Firstly I looked at Peugeot 308 model 2008 years and above. They are kinda ugly and masculine? I am now looking at Citreon C4 2011 models. There is a massive difference in age and look but apparently pretty much the same engine. I want to purchase the best spec so I am looking at 110bhp with all mod cons etc.
    Is there really such horrid steering issues with Citroen C4? Or is it just associated with older models i.e. prior to 2011.?

    Could anyone enlighten me on any issues or advice on either models. I just want a sturdy economical diesel car that will take me long distances easy.

    Thanks

    Hi.

    I made the change from a ford focus petrol to a citroen c4 diesel. and I have not looked back since. very comfotable car to drive. Its a 1.6 2008 model. I do in the range of 850 - 1000km per week and I now have the car over a year and no issue's to call out as of yet...Also the full of the tank costing approx 80 euro is getting me in or around 1100km.

    As you mention peugeot and citroen are vety sinilar.

    Hope this helps.
