Citroen C2 1.1

Citroen C2 REASON FOR BUYING THIS CAR For many a long year we as a family have had one car (At the minute a Toyota Avensis Verso – See review). This was proving to be somewhat of a burden to myself as I did all the driving with the children and my wife. My wife works in a town 7 miles from our home and I work in a town 6 miles in the opposite direction to my wife. In the morning I took my wife into work, as the public transport was unsatisfactory, ...
...was made to buy a Citroen C2. THE CAR The C2 1.1 LX petrol version was bought in black, which I paid £7100 for. The LX version was chosen as the base model (L) did not have a CD player and had wind up windows, for an extra £300 my wife wanted the LX model which has a CD player, electric windows, remote locking and different alloy wheels. The controls for the electric windows are on the middle part of the steering column meaning that I have to ...

Review of Citroen C2 1.1

...it for him and the Citroen C2 1.1 ticked most of the boxes on my very extensive list, and as a bonus the showroom had a shiny 'nail varnish' blue car sitting in their shop window . The exterior of this car is visually very attractive with a neat body and chrome headlights that twinkle even when they are switched off. (Have you realised yet that I am no car boffin?) One of the most important things on my tick list, I must admit with some shame, above ...
...not an 'expensive' car, but Citroen have not skimped at all. I am not going to pretend that this is a sports car, its accelleration is good (not brilliant), the price you pay for having a small engine. The fuel consumption is very good, anything from 45 - 65 miles per gallon (city driving) and the safety features are acceptable, air bags and ABS. But then it surprises you further and you discover that there is this little light that tells you if ...

Review of Citroen C2 1.1

I first saw this car about a year ago in the dealers forecourt and thought "wow, that looks really neat". About a month later, the car I was driving was falling to bits (literally), so I decided to take the C2 for a test drive. The one I took for a test drive was the VTR with the automatic gearbox which I couldn't get the hang of due to the fact that I had been driving manuals for 18 years!! I decided to purchase the 1.1LX model as the dealers had ...
...(I was in a rush due to the impending failure of my old car). I have no regrets whatsoever in my rash decision to buy this model. The car itself is very small, the boot is about 2ft deep, but the rear seats do move forward a bit to allow more room. Also, the rear seats fold down and can be lifted up behind the front seats to give even more room. The car is only a four seater and you can independently fold down each rear seat. Inside, the upholstery ...

Review of Citroen C2 1.1

...have had relative success with Citroen cars in the past; the Citroen Xsara Picasso is an excellent car. However, this car really is not anywhere near that standard. People say to me that as it is a relatively cheap car; then I should expect that it is not going to drive as well as it should. I think this is completely wrong as however much you spend on a new car; it should work! There are a couple of good points to this car, mainly the price. I ...
...car. In making this car, Citroen appear to have just used the cheapest materials they could find and just shoved them into this car. There are also some very strange problems with the car, which are also unexplainable. The car often fails to lock and also, the boot often fails to open. These factors are also unexplainable. Despite these negatives of this car, it is still fairly cheap. It is probably a good car to buy if you are a student and don't ...

Review of Citroen C2 1.1

...without the cars code that citroen only have. If they change the stereo the whole electrics of the car stop working. Obviously a good security feature but on asking citroen to fit my new stereo into the car (I would have paid their fitting cost no problem) I was told I was only able to have a Citroen dischanger only fitted into the C2. Very disappointed at the misleading information, and my advice is although the 1.1lx is slightly more in initial ...
...of the extras you will end up paying for. The car itself is wonderful. I have driven it on a few 300mile journies since sept o4 when I bought it, fuel consumption is good, and speed is not a problem on motorways. The car seems to perform fine at motorway speeds and doesn't feel sluggish unless the tank is nearly empty. One single problem with the car itself, are the bars supporting the windscreen. These cause a slight blindspot as the positioning ...

Review of Citroen C2 1.1

I've had my c2 for over a month now, and I can honestly say I am very impressed with it. My partner has a Frontera which is handy when we go out as a family, but I wanted a wee car as a run around for shuttling the kids about etc. Although its not huge in the back it is adaquate for two people, the back seats do actually slide back independently, making more leg room. The boot is again quite surprising how much you can squeeze in, and if youve ...
...you can fold the seats down quickly and easily. Parking this car is excellent with the power steering it fits into quite tight spaces no probs. Handling is also exellent. I bought my car 200mls away from where I live and it drove up the motorway like a dream, we sat at a steady 90mph, smooth and comfy. There is loads of room in the front making it feel like a big car, all the controls are clear and easily accessable, there are loads of wee nooks ...

Review of Citroen C2 1.1

I bought this car having totalled my old Seat Cordoba, and at first was doubtful as to whether the severe difference in engine size would trouble me. I found almost immediately that my fears were unfounded - although it's only a 1.1 litre engine the car is so light that it more than compensates. I've had some problems with keeping the car steady in high winds (living as I do on the Pennines), but the handling even at high speeds is excellent. You ...
...wheels, and it corners like a dream. The only real downside for me is that if you get stuck behind a lorry going uphill you have to kick the car down at least a couple of gears to get past, and this can cause problems with the clutch, especially when carrying my entire drum kit in the back! On the whole, though, this car exceeds expectations, and if you want a good value, cheap-to-insure car that's a whole lot of fun I'd really recommend it. ...

Review of Citroen C2 1.1

my parents bought me this car for my 18th birthday and i have had it ever since. As soon as i saw this little sporty car sat in my garden with a big pink bow on it i went mad with happiness. I absolutley love this car, the only problem i have had with it is that it used to stall really easily until i put an induction kit on it and now i have no problems. I would recommend this car to teens that have just passed their test as its a safety car, cheap ...
...is £465 and i have been driving for 3 years! The only thing i am not happy with is the cost of tax as it is £120 for a year. I think that is a bit steep for a little car. But as i say it is a safe car! it has a built in roll cage, 4 airbags and a speed limiter! ...

Review of Citroen C2 1.1

I have driven this car a far few hours and over all it seems to be quite a good little car. Its stylish on both the outside and on the inside. The seating and wheel position are all comfortable making the ride pleasant. There is plenty of room in the back seats for two adults, three at a push. The boot size is average for this size of car and can easily hold a weekly shop. The stearing is very light but you can still feel for the car, so your not ...
...fairly good, heating up in good time. The stereo is ok, nothing mega exciting but is good. There is a down side to this car, when i am out driving i always find that all the power comes in the high revs and the car is very laggy in low revs. This is fine on the open road when you have the room to keep in high revs but in town and in the city this gets a bit fustrating. Also it is only a 1.1 engine so even when the power does comes its nothing to ...
