️ WARNING - Don't Buy a Citroën eC4 Until You Watch This

is it impossible to remove the rear spoiler?

Citroen doesn't sell millions of cars in the UK, just around 18,000 per year.

This is the most stupid video I have watched. This car is brilliant!

Can't really comment..,but I will this time..."GET A LIFE", all, (and I do mean 'ALL'), your views are totally unfounded. This Vehicle at this "price point" is truly exemplary...the Comfort is literally Second to None. STAY SAFE...G.A.R.

Coffee cup...the main issue is the coffee cup holder

This is trivia.Switched off.

Ha, I worked on the development of this car , this guy has absolutely no idea what he is going on about , it’s like a parody of a parody. Made me laugh a lot though so thank you

I give up from buying, now.

1 year, of e-c4 now. Fantastic car, comfortable as nothing else I've ever tried! This video is a useless rant. The car is very practical and the interior is MUCH better than the Koreans.

The most annoying thing about this car, is the god damn "my Citroen" APP, my days it's useless. It's actually more likely to win the euro jack lottery than getting this mess of a app to work.

I have one of these and do not find anything mentioned applicable to my particular car

Talking about being a rash , look at your self , you are talking a load of s. t , coffee cup what the hell is going on in your brain .

It DOES support wireless car play and Android auto. Your info is (or perhaps was) incorrect. You just have to make sure you enable 5ghz WiFi on the car and away you go.

I cant understand why people obsess about having drinks holders in a car. I never bring a drink into a car in the same way that I would not bring food to eat. I stop at services or eat at home !

1. buy a reusable cup that fits; get a coffee discount at the same time..
2. fasten the seatbelts ..
3. USB cable is more reliable than bluetooth, so not bothered about that
4. I agree with that one - all cars need a wiper!
5. fair enough - would have thought that brain would subconsciously filter out the image while driving most of the time?

Holds a can of Stella ok

I have had an ec4 for 3 months. So far trouble free motoring. Very comfortable and cheap to run using home charging.
Prices are dropping, well worth a try.

Non è un portabicchieri è un porta bottiglie

Great review. I had a lovely, quirky C4 Coupe (which had a rear window wiper but a useless cup/bottle holder, and my previous Citroen had a shallow indent in the glove box cover which served as a temporary cup holder... ) but the eC4 only made it to number 6 in my list of possible replacements). I purchased an EV from the VG in the end. The car is great, and this video confirmed that my decision not to purchase an eC4 was a good one. 🙂

Tbh I can't be doing with that cheap shiny black plastic inside

Hows the app and does pre cooling and pre heating work from app ok

I don't think a 'warning' is warranted for any of these minor complaints

This is a good news video! The fact that it's considered worthwhile making a video about these "glaring faults" can only mean one thing: that it's otherwise a very good car..... most other EV's in this price category have, or have had, some real problems! It seems that a lot of cars these days are introduced too early, but the demand is so high and competition still so low, manufacturers get away with it.
Get a "coffee cup insert" for the bottle holder, and a Wifi dongle for the wireless phone connection, treat the rear window with "Rain-X" (great product anyway!).... and just enjoy the car.

Not the best review on the e-c4, the coffee cup holders as you think they are called are actually for small bottles of water. Anyone who puts a costa coffee type cup of coffee in those holders are asking for trouble, imagine if it slipped or you dropped the hot contents would seep into the electrics underneath so a bad idea. The HUD is more like a gimmick for this car so you cant compare it to a BMW M6 costing 3 times the price. I am looking at buying a 6 month old ec4 for around £21k which is a bargain.

Test drove the Nissan Leaf, MG EV4 and the EC4 and it way by far the most comfortable simple to use not the quickest but I'm not fussed about getting to 60mph in 2.5 seconds its a decent size and will do everything I need it to do. Will probably order when lease is up at the end of July

Don't buy citroen ec4 cross because its a problem the cup of coffee... And buy Volkswagen golf and t roc with problem machine ahahahahaha

You are a dork!

My mum got AIDS from sitting in a Citroen once!!!

I ordered this car in July 2022, its now April 2023 and still hasn't arrived in the UK ! Be careful when ordering any vehicle from Stellantis / Citroën

You look like an automotive Oscar the grouch from Sesamestreet.

No rear wiper? Really? I live in a country with lots of snow and rain, dust - am I not supposed to see anything? What good is all the high tech without a basic safety feature like a wiper? Will they next time omit the front wipers too? To make it even more "futuristic"? Otherwise, it would have been a great car.

Well, first two - 1) French coffee is a French coffee (take it up your arse, you wanted Brexit!) 2) French don’t eat as much as British and weigh less (back to McDonalds you already mentioned in first “flaw”). What does UK manufacture now? Mini? Not even a mini, its MAXI Point 3 - totally agreed. Point 4 is French sarcasm about Brexit again pointing out that Brits are all window cleaners and should use their skills on car.

Citroen have never been able to do cup holders well. (is it that hard?) my Citroen DS5 had zero cupholders at all...

What about the lag in the throttle response? That is a way bigger downside. Anyone know about a workaround?/update to sort that?

You are a muppet , mate. It's a great car.

Well, agere on the non-wireless android auto wiew. Dont see Any problems in the 4 otter points.

While driving, drive, and don't drink coffee. Use that space for other stuff :)

in my country this car is sold for an equivalent of 62k pounds. crazy. the interior looks cheap.

My ec4 uses wireless AndroidAuto . .works mostly perfectly 👍
And i can put a grocerybag in the seats without sensor tripping I have actually never had the sensor go off without a person in the seat

Who takes coffee for a drive ? Seat belt sensor not an issue put all kinds of stuff on the seats no problem. Heads up display fine. Tend to get water droplets below the rear spoiler personally I always drive on door mirrors and reversing camera it's easier anyway. Had the car for 18 months and it's great, only annoying thing is the app and the speed limiter can be hormonal.

A bit late I know but just to say that Apple CarPlay wireless doesn’t use bluetooth but WiFi to connect. Would be a bit more expensive than Bluetooth but I agree unforgivable that new cars don’t offer this…

Hi there, Agree with you on the HUD. My wife doesn not like it either. We drive without in the meantime. And sorry it´s not a cup holder but for bottles. My phone does not have wireless charging so I need to cable connect it anyhow. Might as well be the charging port so that the other port is available for the passenger. Spoiler ist disturbing but you get used to it. The app My Citroen is a night mare and French should not ever design apps. Leave that to the Americans or Indians. The Citroen server for the updates is 80s standard in terms of speed. BUT - The smoothness of the ride is far superior to other cars in that range, And that´s the reason we bought it for. Very happy and love at second sight.

I got the 1.2 petrol and seriously non of these are issues. I drove with heavy rain and the back window isn't an issue. The spoiler actually blocks the car lights from behind so it's a plus. The cup holder is for water and not coffee - I don't think it is safe to drive with hot coffee! The cables are weird as I was trying to connect android auto with USB (right side) and only noticed a few days later that it has to be on the left side for data transfer.!.this is the only thing that is weird for me.

Show me the perfect vehicle without a single fault/niggle.
HUD is ok, if the driver doesn't stare at the bonnet end.
Are there many cars with AA/ACP Bluetooth?
Reusable cups not shop single use is the way.

Do you drive about with a cup of coffee?

I have a 2022 shine plus fully loaded! the car is amazing! The ride is the best on any car i have driven! you can buy an adaptor for wire free for the car play system! Not had the seat belt thing come on! The HUD is great shows everything nice and clear does not get in my way what so ever...

if these are the only issues then this car is a pretty good car

I hear non problems

Has the e C4 got VSS, pedestrian warning tone ? I can't find anything online about it. Great vid.
