Hyundai or Citroen, Which one to buy?

[Jp66]

Haha. True. True.

Bcos I am in that position now. I was in a T-junction 2 yrs ago, Camry or Odyssey. At the end I chose Camry because of price and features (mainly those auto functions). So my final suggestion to you is - buy with your heart which one you like most.

[Sleepy-T]

Check out the SG Carmart review.....

think many existing problems with this car...

Was considering the Picasso, but gave up after reading the reviews.

Bro, what review,

I check out the review of C4 Picasso nothing bad on it .

are you saying about the Grand Piacaso??

my friend have been driving the C4 picasso for past 2 years,

The reviews you saw was for the 2.0, which caused a Lot of problem for Citro

[Jp66]

if my memory serves me right, the 416 is the honda concerto equivalent right?

conti meh?

Yup! I think the engine same as concerto, but the 416 handling and built quality was fantastic. Anyway it is now a history.

Hyundai makes good cars. Unfortunately, KM aftersale service is a no no.

 

I am speaking from past experience. check out clubhyundai.org on KM.

 

Hope you see where i coming from.

if you're really keen on the C4 Picasso,

 

do wait till july/ aug, as they will come with new engines by then....

 

1.6Turbo 155bhp 6AT....VS 1.6T 140bhp 4AT....

 

you might want to test the Peugeot 308CC to get a feel of how the engine would be like....

[Mdfaz]

go for continental if you can afford.. like someone said, the difference is very obvious at high speeds. Plus the drive is more engaging than a jap/korean ride, except for maybe honda. i drove 2 korean cars before switching to a conti ride recently.

 

if you need a big space, can consider the VW Touran. 1.4 turbo at $109k, saw it in today's papers. big enough for 7 people.

i would go for the C4 picasso, brand and uniqueness.

anyway, your comparison seems weird, a 7 seater 1.6litre to a 5 seater 2litre?

total different class bro, C5 would be more suitable for this but i guess the price would be 30K-50k more than either C4 / I45.

 

so i guess 100k budget is of your utmost concern instead of other criteria likes 7 seater..etc.

if brand appeals more to you than the carrying capacity, i would suggest you to get the below which can seat 5 comfortably.

Volkswagen Jetta - $90,800 - $97,800

Skoda Octavia / Octavia Combi - $96,800 - $99,800

 

for 7 seaters;

Peugeot 308 SW - $97,900 - $99,900

Citroen C4 Picasso - $97,988

not sure about latest honda civic/accord, the previous models was fast but hell it feels like floating on 130km/hr.

even the fiat doblo i drove at >150km/hr feels more planted than them.

bro Chinablue, I thought bro saroja was comparison Picasso 5 seater 1.6litre to a 5 seater Hyundai i45 2litre?

 

Citroen C4 Picasso - 5 seater

Citroen Grand C4 Picasso - 7 seater

 

 

[Albeniz]

Euros dropping quite drastically, will that translate to some savings when buying Citroen?

[Spincer]

i was a ex owner of the Hyundrai Matrix 4 years ago.....to me....since 5 yrs ago...Hyundai has done very well....

 

I was at Hyundai showroon yesterday to view at the Tucson 2 litres....wow.....VERY NICE outlook....at the price of $95 000...

[Jamesc]

hate to diagreed, My friend drove a C4 picasso,

the ride is very comfortable and smooth

TS says he find C4 not as comfy as i45 not me

 

and he is the car buyer.

 

I m not buying either car.

[Stary]

Alright Guys, I appreciate you all for answering to my previous topics. Now, I've really caught up in a dilemma . My Family and I finally came up with Citroen C4 Picasso 1.6 and Hyundai i45 2.0.

My Family is a member of 4, including me. Generally tall(1.75m - 1.92m). We are looking for a spacious, a good branded, and a unique car.

Both cars look good and have some similar features. So, I would appreciate it if you all can guide me through this and help me decide Which one to buy??

 

On is a luxury sedan, the otner one is a utility car.

 

You need to know what you looking for first.

 

If I were you, I go for i45.
