The 2008 Citroën C4 offers a comfortable, smooth ride and distinctive styling, but with a less engaging driving experience due to a vague gearbox and over-assisted steering. Key features include innovative safety technology, such as laminated glass and excellent safety, along with a built-in air freshener. It was facelifted in September 2008 with a refreshed bonnet and headlights, and although interior quality was a weakness, it provided a good balance of economy, with notable HDi diesel engines, and a pleasant cabin.
