Should you buy one?

Yes. If you’re after an affordable family car, then the C4 X excels probably beyond its price point. It’s fairly barren inside, as the interior doesn’t ooze quality or premium, but it’s nonetheless comfortable. The whole car has an easy-going nature that we reckon could be rewarding to live with, and as a family wagon, the extra boot space afforded by the C4 X seems worth it. It also looks better to our eyes than the regular C4, but we’ll leave that judgement up to you.
