Car+Driving got to be THE BEST reviewers! He didnt catch his breath, thats about a full a review as I've ever watched! THANK YOU. But I have a Question"I keep seeing models called EXCLUSIVE & EXCLUSIVE PLUS; not just Touch-Feel-Flair on yr2016...WHICH AREN'T MENTIONED HERE??" any ideas?
I live in Malaysia and my first car is Citroen C4 Picasso 2014. Then in 2017 I have to sell it before moving to Australia and in Australia I get Citroen C5 and last year I bought new Citroen C5X. ❤
I now only want electric vehicles. My current car is a Renault Zoe 50, which will have to be replaced in early July because the lease expires. My next vehicle will be a Vauxhall Combo Life Electric with the Wheelhome Vikenze III camper conversion.
The first C4 was a nightmare to own and zero resale value. Got a great trade-in value of $100 for my 4 year old C4 against a new Honda Civic. Was so happy that I could get rid of it.
The design flair on these vehicles is far above any other manufacturer but modern French cars seem blighted with silly electrical gremlins. In the uk French cars seem to be slated but seems limited to Uk as in Europe French cars are loved. I would love one but fear or unreliability would prevent me. The old Picasso petrol and diesels did galactic mileages with many on the road still in uk and very many on the continent. Unfortunately the 1.2 engine is wet belt and has similar failings as fords eco boom engine. It performs superbly but will not last. If only the Japanese could design an interior and ride like this entwined with their reliability. The auto gearbox is a torque converter and not electronic thus better by far. I think its a Toyota sourced gearbox
Just let the Rovers they never change their signature head gasket deliberate design floor. I'm pretty sure Citroen will still have the signature electrical faults throughout the French manufacturers I think I'll just stick with Ford.
Fords are riddled with much more catastrophic common faults. Millions of engines plagued wet belt failure, powershift gearboxes prone to fail at any mileage, diesel engines with escaping injectors and interiors falling apart and flooding. Modern fords make the french look Japanese in comparison.
@bencocker7487 the Ford wet belt engines are recent deliberate design fault. Any diesel engine will fail if you don't driving on the motor away / free way with the EG valve. But the French will always have electrical problems no matter what that's their signature design fault.
@@mrlover4310 transit and ranger diesels are absolute chocolate no matter the usage. French cars electrics are weak but often just switches, software or wiring whereas modern ford common faults are major components.
@bencocker7487 listen I ain't going to argue with you anymore than this I don't have shares in Ford and I don't have shares in French cars you do what you do and I'll do what I do thank you.
