Hello from Portugal

Hi all, Just showing my new MY21 B4 RD in black stone. 1500km and averaging 8,5l/100km. On my opinion it is a lovely car! Great drive, super smooth and the HK sound is just amazing reproducing flac files from a USB stick. Also pilot assist on the motorway works beautifully.. Don't know how I've live...

Re: T3 or T4

This weekend I test drove a T3 (manual gearbox and 156hp). I really did not notice a lot of differences between the T4 and this one. No noise, no vibrations - I think the T4 was a bit noisy even. A really good car - I do not think I will select the T4 instead of the T3. The one thing I noticed was l...

Re: T3 or T4

Viva Pedro, I do around 15 to 20km a day and also started by looking at the T3 RD manual, that with the the xenium, versatility pro, park with 360 and metallic paint would cost me around 45k. So I’m wondering how could you spec it additionally up to 52k?! I wouldn’t consider the base T4 over the sp...

Re: T3 or T4

Olá Pedro, I'm also from Portugal and I just ordered a T5 Twin Engine. I understand your valid concerns about charging points. In my case it won't be a problem since I'll be able to charge at home every night and my daily commute is about 50 km. But one of the reasons I chose the hybrid is because ...

I have the T4 but in my humble opinion, and understanding your reasons, I would suggest you go with the T3 with all the goodies. It'll be a lovely car to sit in every day.
yes! I think that will be the way! lovely car indeed!

Thanks!

Re: T3 or T4

I went for the T4 and love the engine. However I have only read good things about the T3. The T4 is thirstier than I was expecting. If you're going to be doing nearly all short journeys in a town environment then reviews have made me think that a T3 would be the best choice for you. Yes.. that's al...

Re: T3 or T4

For exactly the reason you state I went for the T4 with no additional extras. I prefer the mechanics to be the best I can afford, so I went for T4 with AWD without any extras or packs. The car does come with some standard gadgetry such as lane guidance but I've switched it off as I felt it too intr...

Re: T3 or T4

Olá Pedro! Just wondering if you have considered the T5 Twin Engine? With low mileage I guess it would be a great choice... plus if you have garage you could charge it and have low consumption figures :) Abraço, João Olá viva João! I've indeed considered the new T5 twin engine for my small daily co...

Re: T3 or T4

I have the manual T3 and absolutely love it. Quiet, refined, smooth running and very economical. It has enough power when you need it as well but I bought it for the comfort. I also have most of the bells and whistles but the essentials for me would be the 360 degree camera and android auto. Hello!...

T3 or T4

Hi everyone! My name is Pedro and i'm from Portugal. Let me start by saying this is a great info repository for this amazing car. I've read and learnt a lot these last few days on this forum. I've been thinking about changing my old citroen c4 diesel 110hp after 12 years of not having a single issue...
