Some years ago your comments assisted my decision to buy a Berlingo in 2003. Subsequently, I upgraded to a C4 Picasso. I changed from the 2003 Berlingo Multispace after five years of good trouble-free motoring (and passed it on to my niece, who is equally
pleased) in November last year, purchasing a one year old C4 Picasso 5 seater, EGS, VTR+. I've happily got used to all but one of the differences and quirks and find the EGS fine for my style of motoring; I'm a total convert to the digital speedo and the electronic handbrake seems to be fine. However, the only thing I cannot get used to is the suspension. It's superb over good smooth tarmac, but compared to any other car I've ever driven (in 35 years of motoring), including hire cars, I cannot recall one which bottoms on the bumps so often and which clearly moves laterally (particularly at the rear) over some bumps, requiring a quick steering correction. I don't feel comfortable about controlling the vehicle at higher speeds.
I took the car into the main dealer and they road tested and put the car on ramps to check. They agreed that the ride is 'roly-poly' and bottoms, but say that this is normal for these cars; also they assured me there are no leaks or obvious malfunction of the suspension. I then wrote to Citroen UK and received a courteous reply, but they state there has been '”no undue level of criticism from their customers or dealer network on this matter.” Have you any comments on this?
