Bought new, Owned for 7 Years
Fuel Economy: 10.0 km/litre (10.0 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 1,600 km/month
- Interior space is huge in comparison to the continental cars of same range.
- Individual rear seats. You get a rare 1/1/1 setup each with isofix. It's possible to put 3 babyseats at the rear seats.
- Comfortable front seats, with massaging feature. Ottoman is available for the passenger.
- Modern and dated car. Considering this was designed way back in 2013, the interior design can still beat out most of the new cars out there.
- Massive unique front windscreen that's able to let you have a peek of the skylight even without a sunroof.
- Very surprising small turning radius for a big car. It can make corners where an Ativa couldn't.
- Sharp steering, extremely light due to it's electric steering assist design. It's practically light for parking yet still planted solid during high speed.
- Good safety features with 6 airbags, ESC, Hill Descent Control, PreCrash Safety etc.
- Lots of convenience features for the price - Keyless entry ( both sides ), push start, Auto Headlights, Steering Headlights, Auto Wiper, Active cruise control, Remote Auto Boot.
Some of this are the quirkiness of the car.
- Difficult to find tire sizes, factory came in at 205/65/17. But you can go for 215/50/17 as a replacement.
- Fuel consumption is a bit high for today's standard, 9~11 km/L. Justified if you consider that it is old generation and heavy car.
- Noisy engine, this is the shared characteristic of the engine based on the Peugeot 1.6 THP.
- Expensive maintenance and parts. Regular services starts from RM650 per service. Parts are also quite expensive.
- Flat fuel tank design. If parked on a slope / slanted position, engine may not start when you're low on fuel due to fuel not able to reach the pick up point.
- Not designed for Msia weather. The rear brakes will jam by rust if you leave it in heavy rain / sunshine. The glue will fall apart if you constantly put the car under the sun. Please park it under a roof.
- No Apple Car Play / Android Auto. This car was designed before this era.
- Poor resale, only for the people who knows the car.
To improve
Although it's discontinued, here are my experiences with this brand so far.
- It needs better after sales services. It gives me the feeling that they are trying to delay / deny warranty repairs as much as possible.
- Bring back the space car, where space is the focus point of the vehicle. Personal thoughts that this C4P did very well in terms of it's interior design, a shame that it got discontinued.
