If you value relaxed comfort, clever practicality and a car with personality rather than pretence, the C4 is a charming, sensible choice — and it won't make you miss the usual hot‑hatch theatrics.

A very comfortable car, but with a flaw I noticed: very high door sills, which you really feel when getting in.

PHEV model — very pleased with the car after 2.5 years. In the summer months it runs practically on electric power alone. The large 2.5‑litre engine is surprisingly frugal, about 0.5 l/mil. Downsides are the ventilation in winter, which causes fogged windows, and that we can now only charge the battery to 80%.
