Ownership reviews
The design of the C4 sedan undoubtedly highlights it from a total stream. Convenient inside. Ergonomically arranged switches and other buttons. Many places in the backseat, big trunk.
I am glad to heat the windshield. The climate is very convenient - a lot of settings. There is bluetooth headset for the phone. The wiper in the "Auto" mode works adequately.
Fuel consumption is higher than 30-50 percent from the claimed. Bad light - for such a class of car xenon should be in the database. The indicators of the distance of the mileage before the refueling are not relevant in principle, and there is no indication of the fuel residue in liters.
Uncomfortable, the heating of the front seats are inconvenient. It happens that accidentally turn on heating, and there is no indication. Handling on the track - Nood. On the wet road and the snowy "kashe" you have to "catch" the car. This is perhaps the biggest minus that overlaps all the advantages.

Video Feedback
Citroen C4 sedan is a great car. There are complaints, but it is even more picky, because it's nothing to do with and large. If you think to take - do not even think about it. Competitions pays at times.
A huge salon. A stunning engine, no turboyama. Very quiet and comfortable front and rear for from class.
Of the disadvantages - a very large steering wheel. Constantly dirty panta right, because the machine and steer is so easy that the right hand itself goes to the leg and dirt on the panta is formed. Moreover, both at a speed of 40 km / h and at a speed of 130 km / h. In general, despite the armrest, you need a place for the right hand.

The engine power is quite enough and the car is pretty a licker, however, it requires quick gear, I constantly drive 4-5 transmission in the city (while the consumption is 8.4-8.5 at mid speed 27 km / h).
Of the minuses - a bad overview of the right! Just tight gear knob. Hard suspension. Very surprised and lack of engine temperature indicator ... Is it like? You stand in a traffic jam and you guess that there with a temperature ...
V. Karpov, goes to Citroen C4 1.6 (116 hp) MT 2014 G.V.
Shumka is excellent, the passability is super! In winter, it was loaded in those places where crossovers did not come down. Turn on the first gear, let go clutch, and she pulls out!
For a year and a half, not a single cricket! I read reviews of other Owners Citroen C4 and wonder, maybe it was lucky. At least, neither from one owner of C4 at a meeting in life did not hear a single bad word about the car.
The car is economical, drove in heat with air conditioning and the speed of 120 km / h, the computer showed only 6.8 liters per 100 km. In winter, in -35 started at the heat of the heat.
Alexander Blinov, review about Citroen C4 Sedan 1.6 (116 hp) on mechanics 2013
When the car was distilled (approximately 1 100 km), it naturally compared it with a focus sold.
Pros Citroen:
- suspension softer;
— eSP system works delicate and unnoticed;
- with climate comfort (in focus was air conditioning);
- Consumption below, about 1.5-2 liters.Citroen cons:
- Long could not find the optimal position behind the wheel, and after it seemed to me that I found, through the kilometers of 300-400, the knees began to hurt, which never felt in previous machines;
- the spouse can also not find the optimal location and noticed that the clutch pedals and brakes are much higher than the gas pedal;
- Do not feel the trunk, but not critical, because there are parking sensors.The owner rides on the sedan Citroen Tse4 1.6 (116 hp) MT 2016
Beautiful externally, a lot is fed into my configuration. Seat bomb! I like music, bluetooth excellent quality, rear view camera, parking sensors in a circle, control of blind zones. Big, spacious interior and trunk.
Mirror Link does not work, navigating without traffic jams is useless, the inclusion of heating of the seats is terribly uncomfortable, especially with nails ... The rain sensor is thoughtful, accustomed to more sensitive. There is not enough rear janitor, in all other cars he was ...
Review of the new Citroen C4 sedan 1.6 (150 hp) with the automatic machine 2017
The first 2,000 km flew in less than a month, quite often rode a cottage.
Pros:
1. The light and rain sensor turned on and forgotten. Works itself.
2. Heated priests, quickly. Enable to turn on for 5 minutes at +5 on the street.
3. Climate. Standing to warm the car with the target to be warm, did not see the joke. The first 5 minutes in motion and comfortable temperature in the car.
4. Cruise and limiter. Played a week, but when driving around the city is absolutely useless. For trips on the highway far - liked it.
5. Horsepower. If the machine takes me one or two, then more than enough. When landing in 3-4 people, the acceleration is not called dynamic, but by 130-140 km / h, the engine does not yell and rides quite well.
6. No crickets, super soft plastic.About minuses is still difficult to say. The first time, there were super sensitive brakes, but passed after 1,500 km. The rain sensor apparently pisses a bit, I do not always like how the wipers work in automatic mode.
Upset the trip to the car dealership for switching on the CAN bus to make friends. Time, and also 2 000 rubles. have taken.
Fuel consumption is still difficult to call. If on the highway, then in the 7-8 liter area. On the road to work and from work - a solid plug, and consumption in the region of 11 liters (it will be better to add that 23 km in 2 hours).
Feedback on Citroen C4 1.6 (116 hp) Mechanics 2017
For four years now, as I own Citroen car with 4 sedan. I have accumulated enough information, what I want to tell.
In 2013, the Salon "" opened in Tomsk. The location of the cabin was successful - not far from my work. Of course, such an event could not be skipped. And here I am in the cabin. Yes, not alone, but with my wife. In the cabin, I liked everything - a spacious room, painted in the colors of Citroen (red and white).
Appearance
Citroen cars are distinguished by their attractiveness. Still, beautiful cars, what can I say! One thing is! As in the cockpit. Very beautiful car! But dear like a real aircraft! Therefore, we looked at something easier and cheaper. Even on the street, they drew attention to the beautiful brown with a golden chipper, standing near the salon for the passage of the test drive. In the cabin got acquainted with this brand in more detail. It turned out to be this car. I used to see them. We in Tomsk Citroen on the road - still rarity. Although it has become more than four years ago. I looked at the car, I sat down at the wheel - everything is very worthy for this level of the car! Signed on the test drive, though on Citroen with 4 hatchback. (Sedan has already been sold). I liked the vehicle in the move, but I expected the best. Nevertheless, they decided to buy a sedan and it was brown with a gilding (the spouse very much liked).
Equipment
The rest, everything as usual - was determined with the equipment, engine, made a prepayment and wait. The complete set was chosen by 1.6 VTI EXCLUSIVE Plus AT, which means the engine has a volume - 1.6, automatic 4-speed box, a decent set of options (navigator, bluetooth, windshield heating, coursework system and ABC, rear parking sensors, cruise Control, etc.).
In June 2013, we become the owners of our Citroen. Before this model we had, so it was with what to compare.
The first thing that I immediately felt - dynamics when starting from the place. Pressing the gas pedal, you immediately feel all 123 horsepowerAnd then the car begins to think, especially when switching from the second to third transmission. It turns out such "thoughtfulness" inherent in many cars with electronically control throttle valve. Some owners are set additional device - Chip, which eliminates this effect, but it affects fuel consumption. I, having studied the behavior of the box, I can advise the following - with the "thoughtfulness" of the car on 2 transmission, you need to "play" (let go and press again) the gas pedal and the car immediately wakes up. And you need to do it enough. Sharp movements technique does not accept.

Fuel consumption
By the way about fuel consumption. "Eats" this car Gasoline is greater than. In winter, in traffic jams, the reading reaches 14-15 l / 100 km, in the summer, in the city 10 l / 100 km. On the road that in winter, that in the summer, the flow rate is approximately the same - about 7 l / 100 km. Corolla in the summer, 5.7 l / 100 km spent on the road, and in the city movement about 9 l / 100 km.
Citroen C4 Review Owner: Disadvantages
Now about the troubles that happened in four years. One of serious breakdowns happened in two years, after purchase - in winter snow and ice jammed fan air coolingAnd the whole electronics has failed. The fact is that all the "normal" machines, the fan is installed ahead of the radiator, and the Citroen with 4 sedans is behind the radiator. The front location of the fan is protected by the radiator grille and from the bottom of the protection of the crankcase, but the back of the radiator will bloom more.
It is good that the malfunction occurred in the city. And on the track it would be worse. Consequence of this malfunction - engine overheated. I had to stop, cool and slowly "crawl" to the service. I had to leave the car for a week, because the necessary spare parts did not turn out.
Upon arrival in the service it turned out that the control board burned down, EL. Engine, control relay. It happened because it said that the service engineer said) that between the fan blades and the place where it is installed, the clearance is very small. Any garbage or snow with ice (as it happened) a fan clins with all the ensuing consequences.
A week later, the details came. Then begins "Circus". Call from the service "Come, take away. All is ready!". I come to 18.00, as agreed. The service engineer meets, apologizes, asks to wait five minutes. The car is behind the glass partition in the workshop. The hood is open. Three mechanics are standing near the car and look under the hood. The service engineer get behind the wheel, turns the car, looks at the instrument readings on the shield. I understand that something is wrong. The hood is closed, the car goes to the courtyard, makes a circle and drives back. Again a consultation. Something is trying to adjust, but nothing comes out. I sit, study the local literature (promotional magazines). It has passed an hour. No one comes to me, says nothing. They are all behind the glass wall in the workshop. I will not go there. Two hours later, I am not very rainbow, I went home on the shuttle bus. On the bus, the call from the service - "Sorry please! We can not find a fault. " On my question, and when the car is ready for approximately - cannot say. The next day, the dinner was called. Everything is fine! You can take. It turns out that there was another malfunction - the water pump drive was faulty. I had to change it. It is good that all this was replaced by warranty. At the same time, they changed and disinterested in all Citroennes after about forty thousand km fail. They say that the factory marriage.
What other minuses noticed
More out of faults that were within four years of operation. A couple of times on the track, after gasoline refueling, the yellow "gear" lights up on the instrument panel and the inscription "engine requires repair" lights up. It did not affect the car. Upon arrival in the service, the malfunction "dropped" was determined as a gearbox electronics failure. But I think that this alert appeared after refueling with poor-quality fuels, because the car was refueling on the same refueling in both cases. And both times of meters after 200 after refueling, a malfunction signaling was triggered.
Well, the last thing that happened to the car. Winter 2016-2017 in Tomsk was a very snowy. Roads cleaned badly. Machines made their way through the drifts, especially between the houses. Citroen with 4 under the bumper is installed plastic boot. The snow was hammered under him, petrified from the frost and squeezed his boot on the right side during the movement of the car. Fastening the anther is the same plastic, so it could not stand. External manifestation - on the right under the bumper, a part of the plastic dangled. I tried to fix on the self-tapping screw - it was enough for a while. It was necessary to order a boot plant in the spring (5,600 rubles), to repair the bumper (crackled from contact with snowdrifts) and install a new boot - 8 500 rubles.
Fat advantages
Now about pleasant than our car is good. The most important thing is from what you have fun when moving is challenges. The car is rushing as "tank". She has pretty high ground clearance - clearance (176 mm), very good, balanced suspension, so on the road obstacle passing almost, without reducing the speed of playing. On the track, very good handling, may be due to the course stability system. The car goes like a string. I had a case, drove from Novosibirsk to Tomsk, and heard a metal knock on the right. Stopped, examined the wheels, saw that the right front wheel Ledder and "worn." And I did not feel anything at all. Neither the car in the direction, not a reduction in the dynamics, nothing at all! This is stability!
The cabin is pretty quiet. You can safely talk, moving at a speed of more than 100 km / h.
The speaker on the track is good, overtaking are performed normally, drowned the gas pedal - after a second, the car "Fits".
Another factor that influenced the purchase of this particular car is its equipment and price. I wanted to buy a car necessarily with a course stability system, cruise control, bluetooth, heated windshield and navigator with an average price category, and it is a sedan. Such a configuration and at a price of other stamps of the class sedans from at that time I did not find.
All of the above devices and "Priggers" are very useful and necessary modern car. One windshield heating of something worth it! It would seem, nothing special, but as nice in winter, with the seer lobby glass, do not scroll through it with a brush, but by pressing the button to wait, sitting in a warm machine.
In addition, a good interval between maintenance - It is necessary to change the oil every 10,000 km, and another then through an interval of 20,000 km.
All this, and an acceptable price (at that time 781,000 rubles) determined the choice with the purchase of this car.
Summarize
In total minuses, in my understanding:
- Fuel consumption with such an engine could be less.
- Dear spare parts.
- Factory flaw - Dzuzh fails at about forty thousand km. Now other sensors are already put.
- Little in our country of service centers "Citroen".
What I like:
- Exterior view of the car.
- Challenges.
- Decent equipment and price.
- Good decoration of the cabin.
- Good noise insulation salon.
- Big windscreen.
- Comfortable seats. It is enough space to passengers in the rear seats.
- Spacious glove box and trunk.
- Full spare wheel.
- Volume fuel tank 60 l.
- There is a USB connector.
Outcome - a good car! Given all the "children's" diseases with which he fell, and undoubted advantages, which is more, I recommend this car by car enthusiasts, and I am not going to change it yet.
Test Drive Video Citroen C4 (to the review of the owner)
The first generation of C4 appeared on sale ten years ago - in 2004 and changed in model row Xsara. Only hatchbacks with five and three doors were supplied to our country. Although the French and called the "three-door" are not different as a coupe, but in fact it was only three-door hatchback. In Brazil, Hungary, Turkey, Greece and Spain were even sold sedans, but they did not reach us. In 2006, the French were released on its basis C4 Picasso and C4 Grand Picasso.
If you look at today's insignificant Russian sales of Citroen C4 second generation, then the old one can be called popular. Stylish outlines sealed in the soul of thousands. In 2004-2010, it was sold approximately at the level of the NoteFrame PEUGEOT 307 and losing popularity Volkswagen Golf.but noticeably worse than Opel Astra, Moreover, Ford Focus.
All motors are infertility row "fours". Gasoline motors - without turbines, volume 1.4 (88 hp), 1.6 (109 and 122 hp) and 2 l (140 and 180 hp). Diesels have a volume of 1.6 (90 hp or 109 hp) and 2 l (140 hp), but in our country they drove bypass official dealers And presented weakly. The drive in all machines only on the front axle, gearbox mechanical (five or six steps) and automatic (four steps).

In 2008, designers slightly refreshered appearance, having sighing bumpers and optics. A gasoline "atmospheric" 1.6 (120 hp) and a turbocharging engine (140 or 150 hp), as well as a new diesel engine at 2 l (150 hp) appeared in the motor line. Since 2010, the French have established a C4 assembly near Kaluga, but in the same year a new generation was also presented.
Market offers
Basic C4 are equipped with Spartanian: front electric windows, pair of pillows, air conditioning and ABS. Music and everything else - for surcharge. Proposals on secondary market More than enough, but there are many "refugees" from Europe among them, the purchase of which we recommend only, if you are 100% you know the car history.
Almost 60% of used machines have an ACP. Approximately the same is equipped with a base 109-strong motor, about 30% are equipped with a 122-strong unit. The share of cars with other motors accounts for only 10%.

Typical breakdowns and problems in operation
Engine
The most common engine on C4 is 1.6 liter TU5 series in 109 or 122 "horses". And whatever the version you have chosen, most likely, to 90,000 - 100,000 km will have to change the timing belt. Until 2010, it was changed by the regulations every 60,000 km, but then the interval increased to 120,000 km. Before buying, Diagnosty the car at the dealer, the mechanics will be able to do it visually.
Motor in 122 hp An even greater sensitivity, due to which under valve lid. Sometimes condensate accumulates and hits the sensor. It is not necessary to beat the alarm, dealers simply drop the error at the station.
More powerful engine Also prone to "overeating", and the oil consumption rate for it is 500 g per 1,000 km. Candles need to be changed every 40,000 km by regulations, since if this is not done, can "cover" the ignition coils.
After restyling, this motor was replaced by a more modern Motor of the EP6 series of joint development of the French with BMW, also with a volume of 1.6 liters, but already with a capacity of 120 hp Here the GDM mechanism is driven by chain, but also it does not boast a large resource. In some cases, the chain has already stretched to 60,000 km. Second typical problem Chain engines - good "appetite" in oil consumption. Ugra can be up to 200-300 g per 1,000 km.
In our country, there are and diesel versions C4 from Europe, but almost always have a strongly "twisted" mileage. They have the same problems with the timing, as well as the "brothers" gasoline, and they are traditionally very sensitive to our fuel. Among the used C4, you can find cars on which others were installed gasoline engines - 1.4 (88 hp) and 2.0 (143 hp), but on the market of such units, and reliable statistics on the reliability of aggregates have no dealers.

Observer Website, 2011
Citroen C4 has acquired a 120-strong engine, equally powerful, quiet and economical, due to the participation of BMW engineers. We have repeatedly reported on trips on cars with this motor (Peugeot 308, Peugeot 207) and even before landing in Red Hatch knew about his advantages. But automatic transmission In Peugeot and Citroen used to be "separately" from the motor before, therefore the biggest surprise for us in C4 was in the "friendship" of the engine and gearbox.
Transmission
The reliability of the transmission is completely dependent on how the previous owners took care of it. And if everything is simple with "mechanics" (the clutch lives on average 100 000 - 150,000 km and changes with a set), then with the "Machine" problems much more.
On C4 is the infamous French al4 french unit. His main nuisance is oil in the box. In theory, it is designed for the entire service life of the box, and the dealers assume that the replacement is not done on it. But experienced mechanics recommend it to change every 30,000 - 40,000 km. The box also has a separate oil filter, but it is fixed, and it is possible to replace it only with the whole automation. Before buying, check the quality of the oil in the ACP, since if the car away is 100,000 km without replacement, then just merge the old and pour the new will not come out. Fresh oil Only swinging heavy oil precipitates, settled on the insides of the box, after which it can simply "die." Therefore, if the owner did not change the lubricant regularly, such a car would be better bypass.
From problems can be noted two electromagnetic valve Automobile automatic transmission that often fly out. This often happened on warranty machines, and dealers eliminated these trouble at their own expense. But the "ailment" can happen and after several years, especially if low temperatures Start an active ride on an unleashed box. First of all, you will be reported to the service icon on dashboard or shifts when switching.
Suspension
Suspension "Citroen" also does not shine reliability. Front C4 swings on MacPherson, the racks of which are not more than 40,000 km, and sometimes they have to change them already after 10,000 km of run. Steering traction depart about 25,000 - 50,000 km, and if they do not change on time, they can "pull" steering rackwhich in any case does not live longer than 100,000 km.
The wheel bearings usually change around 50,000 - 100 00 km. From behind everything is more reliable, since there is a elastic beam, which should not deliver special hassle. The only one weakness - Silent blocks that quickly lose damping properties. True, the masters recommend them not to touch, as they do not particularly affect ride and safety, and their replacement is very complex and cost. Brake pads Front and back are usually stepping up to 20,000 - 30,000 km, the discs are asking for a replacement by 50,000 km.

The hatchback quickly and accurately responds to the turn of an unusual handling of the steering wheel, however, the driver and passengers pay for it with the sensations from the hard suspension, unpleasantly reacting to each little, noticeable road irregularities. On the track, the shock absorbers are perfectly coping with "surprises" from road services.
Body and Salon
To the body of a three-year C4 from the second owner of claims should not arise. Paintwork Even after three to five years it looks great and does not experience any urges to rust. But if you still found it, then, most likely, this car survived an accident.
But if the front plastic wings (more often right) begins to chain the opening front door in the heat - this is not a consequence of the accident, but an anomaly that occurs on C4. But as soon as the car cools, everything returns to normal. On cars kaluga assembly 2010 Steering braid is made of poor-quality material, which often seals. The steers were dragging under warranty, but not all have time to contact the service, so that the "slamming" C4 in the secondary market is found.

But noise insulation is a good quality: up to 4,000 revolutions per minute, the sound of the engine almost does not penetrate the salon, does not reach the driver's ears and most of the road noise - from wheeled arches, glass, tires. We add to this and the fact that in the Citroen is a very decent audio system with a clean sound and a multitude of sound setup options. Thus, acoustic comfort in the car can be called quite European.
Electrical equipment
The electrician also led C4, and then it's all about its complexity. First, it often fails heated seats. It happens almost always due to the cliff of the wires in the back or the front seat cushion. For example, if the owner unsuccessfully occurred on a knee chair. Now dealers have already learned to "treat" the "ailment", without resorting to the complete replacement of the heating element.
The main "brains" at C4 are quite difficult and consist of two blocks - BSM and BSI plus injection calculator. Both blocks, in fact, are blocks of fuses with control microcircuits that do not differ high reliability. BSM is often "buggy" due to poor insulation of antifreeze hoses passing alongside, through which this most antifreeze can be inserted into it, which can be determined by the appropriate odor. Injection calculator and BSM block, like any electrical appliances, sometimes simply closes, which leads to their complete replacement. Thank God, it happens infrequently.
If in the car from some place stopped blowing the stove / air conditioning, then, most likely, the gear teeth are simply broken down some of the dampers. The manufacturer to defeat the "ailment" never could, but he released an inexpensive repair kit with new gears, which can be bought and, if there is a skill to use a screwdriver, change independently. For a hundred for the analysis of the lateral part, torpedo will be asked, depending on the excitation of the master, from 3,000 to 8,000 rubles.
Finally, good news: the complex electronics and the low value of resale contribute to the fact that C4 does not enjoy love among the hijackers.
Master dealer Center Citroen Axis (St. Petersburg, Marshal Zhukova, D.82)
The first C4 delivered many problems with us and owners. First of all, "buggy" electronics. In most cases, we simply washed mistakes, and everything was fine, but sometimes I had to "dig deeper".
The problems with "automata" were most expensive - sometimes they were changed assembly on very small runs. However, many drivers, especially the young, "killed" the boxes themselves, frankly raping cars.
The cost of official dealers
Costs We consider the most common version with a 1.6 liter motor and only for work. The period of completing the maintenance of Citroen confused: it is necessary to take place 1 time per year or 20,000 km, depending on what will come before. But oil change and oil filter We must do every 10,000 km. The cost of the norm-hour of dealers in Russia fluctuates in the region of 2,000 rubles.

Citroen C4 is one of the most popular French cars that has become quite large distribution in our market. Most often there is a five-door body hatchback, and a three-door version, which also attracts the young generation with its bright design, and sedan. The reliability of the used Citroën causes many cars from many cars, and today we will try to find out which surprises can be presented with Citroen C4 with mileage, and what to pay for your attention when choosing this car.
In 2004, the premiere of a new model called C4, which came to shift " C.ITROEN XSARA. " In July 2008, the company held restyling, as a result of which the car received cosmetic changes in appearance, new options for equipping, and two new gasoline engines appeared in the engine gamma. In the fall of 2010, sales started new Citroen C4, at first glance and you will not say that the car is built on the platform of the past generation, has changed so significantly appearance. The former Citroen was one of the most compact, and the heir was noticeably gone, but at the same time the chassis and power units remained the same.
Advantages and disadvantages of Citroen C4 with mileage
The overwhelming majority of cars presented in the secondary market are equipped with gasoline engines, but sometimes diesel versions are also found. In ruler petrol engines There are frankly weak aggregates 1.4 (90 hp) and 1.6 (110, 120 and 150 hp), and a more powerful two-liter engine (136, 144 and 180 hp), as well as diesel motors 1.6 (92 and 110 l . With) and 2.0 (138 and 150 hp). The engines of the French producer are very sensitive to the quality of fuel, and if you use not high-quality gasoline, the engine quickly clogs. The service life of the candle is also significantly reduced, it is worth noting that Citroën is not from those cars to which absolutely any candles can be installed. There were cases when, due to the use of bad fuel, a nagar on the valves after 50 to 60 thousand km was formed. Also possible drop in compression with minor mileage, as a result of machines will disappear Power, and on the XX will constantly float. Therefore, before buying Citroen C4 with mileage, it is necessary to make diagnostics and measure compression.
The machines with a motor 1.6 after 100,000 km runs the thermostat, resulting in antifreeze and the engine overheats. Also, after 100 thousand km, you will have to change the ignition coil and the cooling system pump. Almost all the motors have a timber belt drive, which needs to be changed every 60000 km. Otherwise, French gas production engines are reliable, and diesel - are considered one of the best, and surprises are quite rarely presented.
Transmission
A five-speed manual gearbox and a four-step automatic was installed on Citroen C4. If about the motors, subject to refueling with good fuel, we can say that there are no special problems with them, then the automatic box is considered a weak venue of the car. The automatic transmission was developed by the PSA Peugeot-Citroën concern together with Renault, and all problems arising from this box are associated with the pressure distributing valves. If you buy a car with a mileage of 100,000 km and more, and the machine has not yet been repaired, you can be sure, the cheap repair will get to you. To extend the life of this node, you need to ensure that the box does not overheat (slippages and long-term movement in traffic jams).
The clutch in the machines on the mechanics is quite reliable and walks 110 - 120 thousand kilometers. In rare cases on mileage 50 - 60 thousand km fails released BearingAnd if such a problem happened, then as a rule, the owners changed it along with the clutch. As for switching mechanical transmission, if suddenly you will hear when switching a crunch, then most likely the problem in synchronizers.
Sound Quality Citroen C4
Suspension from Citroen C4 is simple, the standard McPherson is installed in front here, and the back semi-dependent beam. Shock absorbers are also ordinary, which should delight buyers of used cars. Middle lines of shock absorbers hub bearings, ball supports, scruses 80 - 90 thousand km, but the racks of the stabilizer and steering traction, on our roads turn into consumablesTheir resource is no more than 40,000 km. IN rear suspension The knocks appear earlier than in the front, since there is a weak place of silent blocks, which fail with a mileage of 30 - 40 thousand km. A shock absorber boot can also knock, which walks up and down the rod.
The car is equipped with an electro-hydraulic steering amplifier. Hydraulic pump can give a flow through the chip to which the power cable is suitable, and in the case of replacement it is necessary to reconfigure the electronic control unit.
Body and Salon
Body Citroen C4 to corrosion is not inclined, and the first swollen paint coating can be seen by 7 - 8 summer carYes, and it is not always. But the metal here is light and soft, so dents appear fast enough.
The quality of the salon assembly, given the class of the car, quite good, also deserve praise and finishing materials. Owners of the first anniversary of production are complaining that in the Citroen C4 cabin, crickets appear fairly quickly. To these comments, the manufacturer reacted responsibly and on machines of the last years of release this problem was completely eliminated. By electrics from most French cars with our realities and climate, not everything is so good, as I would like this auto no exception. All the fact that in the cold and crude weather in electronics you are watching a crash, and you have to go to a warm and dry box of car service, everything starts working properly.
Outcome:
Citroen C4 with mileage quickly depreciates, and it is not enough, since already by one hundred thousand mileage the car can throw large troubles. The first of these will be automatic transmission, and even if we consider the option only with mechanics, then there are still no problems with the electrician. The suspension is not bad, but also its reliability sample is hard to call. If you do a conclusion, in general, then this car can only be bought with mechanical box, and after professional diagnosis.

- Safety.

In this thread, I would like to tell the Citroen C4 car sedan to help other car enthusiasts when choosing a car.After analyzing a large number of reviews and articles about this car, I want to tell you the most important thing.
Citroen decided to release an updated model of the well-known hatchback C4 in the body of a sedan for those who waited for the version of this car with a larger trunk volume.
The popularity of the car Citroen C4 sedan recently dials the pace, as buyers love this car for the original design and excellent quality.
The development of new items also took part and Russian specialists who tried to adapt this car to the conditions of Russia.
The first owners of Citroen C4 sedan in Russia have already rated this car throughout the rigor. Though the car and adapted for our roads, but still small shortcomings remained. In general, the car is ready to go with you into the daily trips to work and please your owner. At gasoline consumption of 9 liters per 100 km around the city, this car becomes perfect for the city.
Maintenance is not so much, as it seems at first glance. All work is done quickly and efficiently.
When comparing Citroen C4 with cars of other brands of the same class, a large number of car enthusiasts prefer the Frenchman.The car is created both for a beginner and for the experienced motorist. The stabilization system will help properly enter the turn and get out of it, while maintaining the car on the road. A wide variety of engines has excellent quality that everyone needs is unpretentious.
Thanks to the comments of Russian specialists, all comments to the configuration and development of the suspension were taken into account. Now, the suspension is configured so that neither the driver nor passengers will no longer feel small pits and cracks. Moreover, they no longer have to jump on the "lying police", as now the auto gently passes these artificial barriers at a speed of 40 km / h.
Since the car was practically created again, the developers tried to make a car's salon both more comfortable and more beautiful. Salon Citroen C4 Sedan is just huge. You do not have to get tight and get comfortable, this car itself is adjusted for you.
The front panel (in the people of Torpeda) placed only those functions that are necessary for a comfortable trip. Air conditioning (in the best configuration climate control), audio system, navigation system.
Materials manufacturing salon are not just high-quality, they were selected so that they sustain Russian frosts, and the summer heat. The front seat of the driver is adjustable in height, and the position of the steering wheel can be adjusted in 2 positions. It is thanks to this that the driver will feel comfortable.
The rear seats will allow 2 adult passengers to truly enjoy the trip without being distracted by minor inconvenience.
The trunk, designed for 440 liters of cargo, has a convenient loading area. But ate you need to carry a large cargo, then it is enough to decompose rear seats And the volume of the trunk will increase by 2 times!During numerous tests, such climate control was developed, which can satisfy the needs of even the most capricious owner. If overboard Citroen C4 heat sedan, then you can adjust the desired temperature "for yourself". The entire car salon is cooled in a matter of minutes. The stove was developed for the harsh Russian winters. Front seats have heated, and side mirrors Heated automatically. The car's salon warms up much faster than the car of a similar class.
The most important plus of the car is his unique, modern design, which was designed exclusively by French designers (experts in the field of car design).
In addition to the main advantages, Citroen C4 sedan has a large number of pleasant bonuses.
The gas tank hatch without cork and with an electric drive, it is really convenient, and it is not possible to open it until you can not stop, even if you accidentally press the button.
If you want, the wipers will adjust the frequency depending on the speed (the option in the basic configuration).
On-board computer shows fuel consumption at the time of your movement.
Locking doors at speeds of more than 10 km / h - no more than safety. If your child is played in the back seat without supervision, then the door can not open the door and it will not fall.
If the child has frightened during the move, it begins to shout a buzzer, although if no one has fallen in from behind initially, it is silent.But unfortunately. Even such a beautiful car has its drawbacks.
The first, and perhaps the most serious drawback is a small road clearance. With the distance from the Earth in 15 centimeters, you can hardly go to the cottage. In winter, the car threatens to sit on the belly, if you go through the crumpled courtyard. You can also damage the engine, driving through a deep pit / puddle. Maximum how to solve this problem is to install the Carter Protection, which will cost you 6 thousand rubles.
The following problem is an uncomfortable location of seat heating regulators. But this problem is not so important, because it is enough to turn on the heating only once for the trip.
He is too sharp brakes to which it is necessary to get used - that's what scares many buyers. Although sharp, but very effective.Paint-and-painted C4 body covering is not that which would like for such a price. When the pebbles are bolding from ahead of the running machine, small chips and crack remains, which threatens ambulance. Excellent protection against such problems can be a special protective film. This product will definitely protect C4 from small damage. Easily changing.
An essential problem for versions with a machine gun is the "brake" of the box. With a sharp start or dynamic rebuilding, the box is tupit and switches transfers with delays. Many owners appealed to the car service with this problem, but it is so tuned by the checkpoint.
The problem is the trunk handle. It is not protected, and after a trip to cloudy weather, you have to blur your hands to open it.
Although the rear seats and comfortable, but the designers regretted the forces on the development of the armrest in the center. But, if you do not pay attention to this trifle, you can do without it.
Most of the car owners disappointed standard radio tape recorder. "Quality is no better cheap voice recorder." This problem is solved either by buying a better magnetic, or the basic calibration.
Thus, it is not difficult to understand that no matter how hard every manufacturer tried, it is impossible to create a perfect car. This is explained by the fact that each person has its own ideals and preferences.
As a result, I would like to highlight the main advantages and disadvantages of the car:
