Overall the car looks very good and performs reasonably well, but it has broken down twice in 24 months and although it is still under warranty, having it fixed for free does not compensate for being stranded at the roadside in the early hours of the morning. Unfortunately this is fitted as standard to most Citroen vehicles. In practice it is very annoying, and has almost resulted in being hit from behind on a few occasions. This slams on the brakes with maximum force if it thinks you are braking in an emergency. The car is equipped with EBA - emergency brake assist. The rest of the interior seems to have been stuck together with spit. The light blue seats mark easily and offer no lateral support, but they are reasonably comfortable on long journeys. Handling is a bit odd, because there is plenty of grip and good feedback, but the steering is too light and the high body rolls too much in corners. Performance is not this car's strong point, but the engine does an acceptable job considering it's a 1. I really like the shape, and it is pretty good value for what you get. Review Date: 29th December, The car is very spacious and well designed. I just want them to take a look at my car, I have young children and I am too scared to drive it. They keep saying they are too busy and do not return my many phone calls. After Christmas the AA came out and diagnosed a problem with the throttle, they got it going and I have now been waiting 2 days for the dealer to call me back. Just before Christmas, I broke down just coming off a major motorway just lost all power and the engine light came on. Review Date: 1st June, I had the fuel injectors replaced 5 months after buying the car, and they were not covered under the warranty, as they had corroded because of leaking window washers. With the new model out now, they are also going for peanuts on the second hand market, so if you can ignore its faults, this could be an ideal motor if you're on a budget.

But where the diesel powered C3 comes into its own is the economy.

Steering is excessively light offering no feel of the road, though the light steering makes parking a breeze. Headroom is exceptional for a supermini, with 3 inches to spare with my 6'4' frame. Seats offer no lateral support whatsoever, and I keep thinking my backside is about to fall off it when cornering. Wind and engine noise is more than noticeable at speed. To say the interior trim feels cheap would be an understatement.īody panels are also thin and you get a nice 'clang' reverberating through the vehicle when you close the door. Nothing of note has gone wrong with this car, but that should be expected with the low mileage it's covered.
