After endless hassle with a Ford Focus I bought the C4 - what a fantastic car! At 54,000 miles it sailed through its MOT and not had an unscheduled day off the road. It's never dropped below 50mpg and often gets over 55mpg. Why journalists perpetuate the myth about Citroens being poor beats me - it makes the Ford look bland and hopelessly ill-equipped for a start. I'll be seriously considering another.
