Citroen C2 test drive since 2008 Hatchback

Test drive in Russia: Citroen C2 VTS

Autolet skipped the last autumn days on fast Citroen C2 VTS
Starting a cold motor and 10-second uneven sound is heard. We will ride. I give gas and see the speed: 3, 4, 5,000 super! All this is accompanied by a pleasant sniffing of the turbine and bass from the muffler. Although the dynamics cannot be called outstanding, there is not enough traction on the bottoms. The pickup comes from 3-4,000 revolutions. It is recommended to accelerate up to a maximum of 140 km/h further further due to the approach of the tachometer arrow to the redlane. The programs are short, which was worth expecting. The clutch is squeezed out in the middle.
It feeds on C2 from 95-Benzin and prefers it in an amount of 10 liters per 100 km. This is an average consumption. I poured about 20 liters for 500 rubles in C2 and I was enough to drive 250 km. Subject to constantly burning fog, gas mode is almost to stop, rainy weather and air temperature about 0 degrees. The consumption of even less than 10 liters comes out.
What's in the cabin? The not very pleasant smell of plastic (plastic) is hovering. The left hand rushes out of habit to the door handle, where the windshield control unit is usually located. There are no them (buttons) here. The French decided to invent another bicycle by placing the glass -window button next to the KP. You need to get used to it. A tachometer in the form of a small arrow seemed inconvenient. At times it seems that the engine is slowly spinning. Or maybe it is?
The chubby steering wheel asks for arms. It is a pleasure to control the wheels with this diameter. Tailing medium acute. When driving through the pits, exchange rate stability can not be shot down in any way, C2 confidently holds the line. Excellent stability is also provided by sports suspension. The stiffness is perfectly configured that you do not feel road flaws at all. At the same time, side swing and rolls are minimal. Beautiful clearance is in harmony with aero-kit. Do not be alarmed by low landing: C2 VTS climbs into the curbs without any trouble. The main thing is to choose the right angle.
