ryan lupo sport Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 is a c2 going to be much bigger then a lupo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam K Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 (edited) c2's are ****. my sister had one and i used to drive it a bit. i used to have a saxo vts, that was so much fun to drive, and went like **** off a shovel.the c2 seems to have lost that and feels big and bulky. on the plus side, it has lost the "made of kitkat wrapper" feel of the saxo.personally i wouldn't spend my own hard earned cash on one.

AndyW Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 is a c2 going to be much bigger then a lupo?Probably not, theres certainly less headroom and rear seat space. The boot is *slightly* bigger I'd say, but there can't be much in it.The gearbox in the VTR is so jerky and useless that you better make sure the babies head is fully restrained!I've got no particular problem with the C2, I actually quite like the design and its cheapyness, but there are better cars on the market.

little becky Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 we got a pram and wont go in the loop boot so it would have 2 go on the front seat as i can not deactivate passenger air bag. Got the c2 as the deal was great, can turn air bag on and off and fit my pram in the boot. Besides if i wnat abit of fun i am now insured on my bf's octavia vrs!!!

Besides if i wnat abit of fun i am now insured on my bf's octavia vrs!!!one thing i will warn you is even when the pass air bag is deactivated it has been known before in some cases for them to still be activated in a crash so just make sure the seat is as far back as possible etcthe c2's arent a bad car to be fair you could have chosen a lot worse and there is good deals on them when looking about so im guessing you got a good part ex deal etc so good luck with the carwayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L119 UPO Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 You could remove the airbag from the Loop EASY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramirez Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Your getting rid of the Loop because of the baby, fair enough... But your replacing it with a car that is less safe in an accident? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little becky Posted January 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 nope the c2 is safer my main prioty was the ncap safety results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petes 16V Sport Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 to be honest they're pretty similar for crash safety, the c2 scoring a slightly higher frontal impact result. If the lupo was fitted with side airbags the side impact result of the lupo would be stronger however. (they got the same side impact result C2 has side airbags as standard, Lupo tested did not)Seems fair enough. I'm not a great fan of C2's but I can see why you've gone for it.Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I've been secretly harbouring thoughts of looking at C2's myself (secondhand) to replace my Lupo. Nothing as exotic as a VTR, a Furio 1.4 would do. I had a sneaky peek at one of the knockdown price 107's on Saturday, it was crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupooo Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Can't belive you are getting rid of a lupo for a C2 cause you have a baby! I have a two and a half year old wee boy and my second baby is due in March! And to solve the problem with the pram not fitting in the boot i'm going for a roof box !

little becky Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 only prob is im just under 5ft i cant reach the roof lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupooo Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 hmmm suppose carrying a step wouldn't be that handy really ! Well if i was to get a bigger car i'd probably stick to vw but each to their own - hope you don't miss lupo too much and it's good you have a faster/bigger car to use ! I used to have a peugeot 306 gti-6 to play with which always seemed to surprise guys up here ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I had a look at a vtr and it was much more difficult to fit a car seat in due to the rear arm rests etc that stick out more than the lupo. As for boot space ,they are both crap but I can get our M+P four wheeler in the lupo with wheels off, as for our three wheeled push chair that really only fits in the passat if we are to get anything else in. Think carefully before buying a C2, they'll lose money quick and while the sensodrive wasn't as bad as I'd head reliablility could be a problem in a few years.

Adam Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 The only thing i think about with the sensodrive thing is if Aston Martin couldn't get it right on there 100k cars how on earth are Citroen going to get it right on a 10k sardine can?

But THAT gearbox in the VTR is shocking. The GT/VTS's manual is so much better.Other than that, the VTR is entertaining enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
