Citroën C4 wears its French eccentricity with confidence, pairing bold, sculpted styling with a supremely comfortable ride that turns mundane commutes into a gentler affair. 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.

The MG4 seems more versatile to me than the Dolphin, which relies mainly on design. The MG4 has proven itself and remains an excellent used option with low mileage.
