Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The amount of reviews I have read complaining about the C4's 1.4 engine is confusing. The C4 is a fairly large, five door family hatchback, meaning it is never going to be fast. I have had no problem with the size of the engine, as it is moderate in acceleration, good on fuel and cheap to tax. If you want a hot hatch, a 1.4 petrol family hatchback with no turbo probably isn't the option for you.
What's it like to park?
Easy, rear view is slightly restricted, but this doesn't make it that hard too park. Good mirror views and light steering mean it is fairly easy to get around and park.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
There have been no problems since owning the car.
What's most practical about your car?
The most practical thing about the C4 is the rear-folding seats, air conditioned glove box and the storage spaces located around the cabin.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
1) Folding rear seats 2) Storage space.
