I had seen pictures of the stunning Cactus and was particularly looking forward to testing this vehicle, so I thought of a suitable route to take this car tbrough its paces.

Waiting for me was a mustard yellow Cactus, a colour that added to this 4x4’s originality, for originality is all the Cactus is about with its design, making it stand out from other vehicles.

The Cactus has a young and sportive image and Citroën was very clear on the line it wanted to take. A family car that looks great and that gives you a sporty feeling. This can be seen in the two-tone leather steering and 7’’ touch screen interface with speed limiter and daylight running LEDs.

The car’s feel-good factor would definitely contribute to the success of the Cactus

The car’s feel-good factor would definitely contribute to the success of the Cactus. As I sat on all seats, I noticed the driver had ample head, shoulder and leg space, as did the front and rear passengers.

The emphasis on this is the panoramic sun roof, which gives a sense of open space. The dashboard had the dials clearly displayed and the information provided to the driver was efficient, yet never distracting.

Safety has an important role. The car has ABS with electronic brake force distribution and emergency braking assistance, also front and lateral airbags.

The drive felt great as I drove through the busy roads in Attard.

There was no extra effort to drive in the traffic but as soon as we hit the open roads of the south, the car’s performance changed to my amusement.

I was told that the car was very economical, so I kept checking the fuel guage. I think it is one of the most efficient 4x4s I have driven for a while.

As for storage, the Cactus can pack ample load, and one can have all their children’s bikes, wife’s shopping and other sport equipment stacked in the boot, especially with the back seats folding flat. Multiple storage ports are available in the cabin too.

Definitely a car for those looking for fun family features. The kids will love it, the wife will want it and you will enjoy it.
