Our cars: Lexus IS, Citroen Grand C4 Picasso and Honda Civic Tourer
This week, the Citroen prepares for its first service, the Lexus has some phone issues and the Civic Tourer takes the scenic route...
Every day we take a look at several of the cars on our long-term test fleet. Today, we find out how the Lexus IS, Citroen Grand C4 Picasso and Honda Civic Tourer are getting on.
Citroen
Our Citroen C4 Grand Picasso has chalked up 12,000 miles, so it’s time for a service.
A phone call to the local Citroen dealership in Brentford revealed this will be a Level 1 service – not much surprise there – but what was surprising is the quoted price of £256 for what is, after all, the most basic service. Also, we will have to wait until the beginning of next month before they can carry out the work.
Added to the itinerary will be a check of the steering, which is making a strange squeaking noise as you turn the wheel at parking speeds. Other than that the Citroen is performing well with no other faults to report.
We will let you know how it all goes in due course.
