C2 VTR - slightly cooking model, let down by Sensodrive 'box

|
| RELIABILITY AND QUALITY RATING: |
 |
The C2's sister model, the larger C3, hasn't enjoyed a trouble-free start to its life: some 17 percent have been subject of breakdowns according to the 2003 Which? reliability survey, but this figure should improve over time as early niggles are sorted. The C2 has the benefit that it's based on the C3 and should get the benefit of that model's continued development. Nevertheless, Citroen rarely scores better than average in customer reliability and satisfaction surveys. The C2's dashboard is shared with the C3, but is finished in a lighter colour. Sadly, this hasn't made it feel any better - it's still of a harsh and cheap-feeling plastic, and the glovebox's loose lid fits very imprecisely. The rest of the trim, however, is fine and of decent enough material given the low price. There are coloured plastic inserts on the door trim and gearknob to lift the atmosphere.
