Advantages: Spacious, economical fuel consumption, looks good Disadvantages: High repair and maintenance bills, unreliable, doesn't look so good on the back of a tow truck!
After owning my little Citroen C3 for just over 6 years, the time has come to accept that this relationship has run its course and move on to better things. So I have finally part-exchanged my C3 and, hopefully, bid farewell to endless visits to the garage and constant repair bills!
Like most relationships, this started so well. It was love at first sight when I set eyes on the C3, which was a relatively new model when I bought mine back in November 2002. The design of the car is quite funky for a small, relatively cheap hatchback or what is known as a 'super-mini'. It has an attractive curved exterior and looks very modern and stylish.

BASIC DETAILS
The C3 is a five-door hatchback in the ?Supermini? bracket. It comes with a variety of engine sizes including a 1.1litre petrol version (ours) and a 1.4 litre oil burner. The petrol engine pushes out a modest 60 brake horse power, and this was to prove significant later, as ...

I cant give a great deal of information, as i only drove this car in a 45 mintue test drive, im sure that long enough to give some impression.and having heard so many good views and so many bad ones. i had to try it out for myself
First impressions.
having looked around at different cars this one, looked easy on the eye, more suited to a small family car. there clearly isnt anyroom in the back for a dog ..it was used had one pervoius owner looked in good nick just the odd few curb scuffs on the wheel, inside there was alot of space and seemed very comfortable, inside looked a little cheap,but expected unless you going be paying £20,000+ for a car with leather interior.
Model i looked at was a Citroen C3 1.4 HDi SX SensoDrive 2004
this comes with some little extras.
Paddle shift (for that split second you can feel like a F1 ...
