Citroën C4 Cactus (2014 - 2018) 1.2 PureTech (110bhp) Rip Curl 5d Owner Review

The 110 s/s engine is responsive and manages the climb in the valleys and mountains in Wales with ease. It is just as happy on the twisting roads in mid Wales and the motorway and dual carraigeways in South Wales. I have only needed to use the grip control once on a muddy climb out of a field used as a carpark and twice in snow where other drivers were struggling/failing with the conditions. On each occasion the car handled the task as if it was tackling normal driving conditions. The all weather tyres that come with this model grip the road really well and are worth the extra cost as I have found the last twice as long as standard tyres I used on my previous cars. My two bugbears are you can easily catch your head if the sun visor is down getting in and out of the car and keying in destinations using the sat nav is time consuming and can be frustrating because you can't type in a post code. I like its unusual styling which stands out from the standard hatchbacks you see and the large centrally placed digital speedometer is a real boon in 30mph zones where it would be so easy to accidentally just pop over the limit. The seats offer comfort on long journeys.
