Citroen C4 Coupe Review

Used Value3 out of 5

Second-hand buyers are wary of the C4, and this shows in the deprecation: there are high-spec two-year-old cars out there advertised for less than £5,000. Ouch. Good news for brave bargain-hunters - but watch out for the glitch-ridden early cars which were returned to dealers, as they may not have been thoroughly de-bugged. Best to buy from a dealer, with a warranty.
