Citroen C2 Loeb

As I have just updated my other thread on my LOMAX 223. I should probably start up a thread for my other car. I did have a big heavy diseasel VECTRA which was great for cruising on the motorway, but just awful everywhere else. My fiance needed to use the car to drive to work every day which is predominantly b-roads, then parallel park at the other end. She wanted a small car, I wanted something I could fit in and wasn't as god awful dull as the VECTRA.

It was decided - a C2. I'd tried loads of small cars, swifts, mazda2s, fiat 500, minis etc. I really wanted to hate the c2, but they have a lot of head room, and was surprisingly good to drive. I bought it on eBay, unseen at a bargain price!

Very quickly things started to go wrong. Abs light came on, then the ESP light.... uh oh. Ive bought a lemon....

Fortunately the abs light was just a sensor phew.

The ESP was thrown out by the tracking. As soon as this was rectified and reset everything was sorted.... thank god- that could have been very expensive.

Very nice, my OH had a 1.1 C2 that was a she when she bought it but it was great fun to drive, she now has a DS3 1.6 petrol turbo that I hate with a passion

Its a lot of fun. Its nearly bang on a tonne with 125bhp.

Gearing is short too. In top gear at 4k revs its at 75mph. Stick it down a b-road, drop a cog and put your foot down and its an absolute hoot!

Nice I didn't know they did a C2 Loeb, I have seen lots of the bigger Citroens with the spoiler in the middle of the rear window (can't remember the model) in Loeb guise but not a C2. I'm sure it will hold its value being limited.

hope so, although I don't really mind, I didn't buy it to hold its value.

yes, citroen also did the C4 Loeb. As with the c2, they were only available in black or red. Mechanically its the same as the c2 code, both 2008 limited editions. I prefer the Loeb though as I think the interior trim is nicer
