C4 not bad, but nowhere near the leader

Many moons ago the late Beatle John Lennon was being quizzed by the media when one bright spark asked him if Ringo [Starr, the band’s drummer] was the best drummer in the world.

The caustic Liverpudlian thought for a moment before responding. “Ringo, the best drummer in the world? Nah. He’s not even the best drummer in the Beatles.”

I was reminded of the encounter recently when pondering the place in the world of the five door Citroën C4. When I thought about it, it came to me that the C4 hatch is a decent enough car, but it is not even the best C4 available right now.
