Citroen C4 Cactus manual 2016 review: 3 main features we like videos

Malcolm Flynn identifies three main features of the Citroen C4 Cactus gasoline engine.

The petrol manual version of the Citroen C4 Cactus is clearly the better of the two options available in the Australian market, and here are the top three features we like.

#1 Fancy appearance

The Cactus can't be mistaken for anything else on the road, but its smart, rugged design is neither retro nor oddly shaped, so it should age well and be easy to live with.

#2 Practical interior

The interior of the Cactus isn't without its quirks, but there's plenty of room in the back seat for two adults, and there's some pretty comfy space in the trunk that only gets better when the back seat is folded down.

№3 Engine and transmission

The diesel Cactus is heavily compromised by its clunky automatic transmission, but the manual petrol works very well, with plenty of low-end jolt, and the five-speed manual is a treat if you don't mind shifting your own gears.
