CITROEN C4 2015 FULL REVIEW - CAR & DRIVING

All too often we tend to lapse into a sort of shorthand when making car recommendations, nowhere more so than in the family hatch class. The accepted wisdom for many years has been to buy a Volkswagen Golf and if you don't want, like or can't afford the Golf, go for a Ford Focus instead. And just like that, we tend to relegate the rest of the class to also-rans. Citroën is determined not to be battling for the scraps in this class and its C4 is a car that is both interesting and talented.
It's also been treated to a wash and brush up to help it clamber up above the likes of the Renault Mégane, the Nissan Pulsar, the Vauxhall Astra, the Skoda Rapid, the Toyota Auris and the Peugeot 308. If your motoring tastes extend beyond Golf or Focus, you might well enjoy the C4. Quite a lot, actually.
