This cracking little car does well over 55 to the gallon and looks great It has a Range Rover look with its large black grille, black bumpers, wheel arch extensions and side skirts, the C3 XTR is striking while protecting the new model from everyday knocks and scrapes. Additional features such as 15" alloys, foglamps with aluminium finish surrounds and sleek roof bars give the XTR an extra edge. Excellent acceleration for a diesel the turbo makes it very nippy. Has been totally reliable, although servicing costs are quite high.
Cons: Brakes are extremly sharp, i assume this has more to do with the ABS I'm not used to! Not much leg room in the back, a six foot plus adult would struggle. Could of done with AC as standard, although a nice electric sunroof is fitted as standard. Suspension very firm. Handling is OK but not brilliant.
Comments: Overall an excellent smart looking car, that returns superb fuel consumption.
