Help In Choosing C4

[Guest Deryn]

Hi all. I am a C5exec SE tiptronic owner and am shopping for a c4 vtrplus or exec and wonder how good-or not-the auto box is. I tried the make believe EGS system on a 1.6hdi and hated it but the bourg warner type hydraulic box in the two liter seems well tried and tested.

before I buy(from an internet company-5K in my pocket) I would like some input from long term owner/drivers of C4 2ltr autos. I love the look of the 3 door but soo impractical extracting my 5foot10 bulk especially after drink as that will be the only time I allow wifie to drive a powerful beast.

Regards all

Robin

There are a fair few people over 6 foot who drive the coupes as long as your not in the back its no problem. If anything its easier to get in and out of the front of the coupe being bigger due to the larger doors etc.

 

I'm 5"11 and im a big guy 19+ stone and find it no problem getting into and out of the coupe even when drunk.

 

What didn't you like about the EGS box? Most people seem to love it so just curious I have yet to try one. No idea about the Auto either dont think anyone has bought one as far as I am aware most people stick to the EGS box. Not to mention the Exclusive is rather exclusive.

 

Try the main http://c4owners.org/news.php forum. Most of us are on both forum but there are a lot more members over there who may be able to help you out and give you some good information about the automatic.

You'll have no problem sitting in the C4, or getting in and out. I'm 6' 2"/14st and find it really comfortable. I have a 5 door, which has smaller front doors but easier access to the back seats (if that's important to to you).

 

Like Wozza, I don't know much about the auto box, but I wish I'd bought one now to go with the torquey VTR+ diesel.

 

Pop over to www.c4owners.org where you'll find owners of the full range and can find out about specific models.
