    Advantages Advantages Economy, parking, emissions etc etc

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hardly any, a small car ?

    The title is almost there, i had planned on buying my dream car, a Lotus Elise , but that was before my girlfriend told me she was pregnant, and so , like the level headed guy i am (?) i bought a Citroen C3 .. why ?? i hear you cry. Well here are the reasons... My boss says im so tight I squeak, but there again being a professional buyer is that a bad thing ?!, I set out to buy a car that would not break the bank on the journey to work (its a 30 mile round trip, which isnt bad but could still hit the wallet). The first thing I did was to check out a government website that details the most ... more

    Advantages Advantages Roomy inside, comfortable ride.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages interior looks cheap.

    I have recently bought the 1.4l petrol C3 Desire in Black. If you are buying one from a dealer it is worth checking out the prices for the different colours. At the dealer i went to metalic paint was £100 more! Thankfully i wanted black from the outset so that was a bonus. The "Desire" version i opted for comes with a CD player and Air conditioning over the standard model. The power steering, electric windows, central locking and 4 air bags are standard. I also got controls for the radio/cd player on the windscrean wiper wand. Ii have not come across this before, though i dont know if that is ... more

    Advantages Advantages Comfort and smoothness (for a small car). Reasonable economy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None for me

    I bought the car new in September 2011, trading in my Fiat 500. I'd never been a lover of small cars but had enjoyed the Fiat and simply wanted a little more space + 5 doors. I'd never owned or driven a Citroen before and chose this after spotting a very good deal at the dealer in York and then being impressed with the test drive. I'm not going into loads of technical detail here - if you're interested in that you'll be looking for yourself anyway! Roomy enough? Although it's still a small car, it does have enough space for 4 adults although I wouldn't want to do a long journey with 4 adults ... more

    Advantages Advantages Fuel economy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    Took delivery of a new C3 Hdi LX Desire (diesel) in January, no faults on delivery, and 7000 miles later no faults have developed. It's been back to the dealer once for the first service. It used a little oil until it had coverd 2000 miles but now seems to use none. The fuel economy is nothing short of amazing, it's fitted with a display on the dash which gives fuel consumption, and that has never dropped below 60mpg. Most of the time it's around 65mpg, and I have seen 70mpg. It has a decent size fuel tank, should have a range of about 600miles. The performance I've found to be quite good, and ... more

    Advantages Advantages Fuel efficency, Low Tax, Low Insurance

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None really, a few squeaks of the trim, rear leg room limited

    I'm not buying that, was the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw the car on the Network Q forecourt. I was trading in a Freelander (bought for £15K and trading in for £6K max but that is another story or review when I get around to it) for a smaller car for commuting from Plymouth to Torbay a round trip of 60 miles. The C3 was right at the back and all the comments I had heard about Citroen's popped into my head, But..... When I looked at the features as standard I had to test drive it. A year has passed and I am happy as anything about my C3. As standard I get 60 mpg which is a ... more
