Citroen C4 Cactus

The 2018 C4 Cactus come with an Aisin 6 gear auto that is smooth andshould be indestructible. Much easier than its previous semi -auto quirky box. I was taken aback at the deal at 79plus K and got a further 4K overtrade for my car making it $75998 on the road. 5 + 5 service and warranty and 6 airbags, built in navigation, rear camera, front and back Blackvue camera installed with all the trimmings of the Explorer version (now at 91K) Estimated depreciation is 6.3K per year with OMV of 19+K. Great deal and the car is no slug or roller skate. Very well damped, reasonably comfortable and not noisy. Nice design cues but no rear courtesy light. Cannot fault the car otherwise. Covered over 5000 km in 2 months and uneventfully. 12.8 km per litre averaging. I think its going to be around for a long time!... Read More

The Cactus is a love it or loathe it type of car. The exteriordesign was meant to divide opinions. Personally I find it funky and interesting but may not stand the test of time.

The push-out rear windows are also pretty bad in terms of ventilation.... Read More
