Citroen C3 reviews

Very reliable& Economical. Vehicle economical but costs of servicing high.

replaced previous C3 but find lack of storage space in this model.

Delighted with the car overall. Smooth, comfortable and relaxing to drive, surprisingly spirited performance form the relatively modest power plant. I have some reservations about the EGS gear box. There are occasions when it seems hesitant about gear selection and chooses to change up or down at not particularly appropriate times. For example, when tackling a hill with variable steepness and embarrassingly, when attempting to make a quick move at a roundabout or when joining a major road with fast moving traffic from a minor road. There are times on familiar roads when one needs to change to manual transmission and use the excellent "Paddle shift." The EGS box is more suited to a fairly experienced driver who is prepared to learn some new driving techniques. For the majority of the time it behaves well but is not a full automatic and requires sympathetic handling when the road is challenging. I enjoy getting the most from the modest power of this type of car but it will not suit everyone.

I have had this car for six years having taken it over from a friend who had to give up driving. I have been completely happy with the performance and reliability of the car. To an extent, things have started to go wrong now, which is only to be expected given the age of the car. My plan is to keep the car until such time as something major goes wrong. I had a Citroen Saxo prior to this which also gave good service, so my opinion of Citroen cars is high.

practical.no fuss and reliable

It meets all my needs technically and for ease of driving and I am looked after by a very good dealer

I have loved my C3 since I bought it. Really comfortable to drive, with higher seats than most cars. All display on the dashboard is visible and easy to use. I've had the odd problem with the car since buying it second hand, but nothing major. It's reliable, it's efficient with petrol, it's comfortable, it has the space needed for my family. I would buy another C3, and have regularly recommended it to my friends and family.

Perfect car for town use, and comfortable for long journeys. Good emission control and fuel consumption

Slightly hard ride but reasonably fuel efficient. Biggest problem is the poor turning circle. Brakes are very good.

I`VE HAD THIS CAR 6 MONTHS AND AM DELIGHTED WITH ALL ASPECTS. I PURCHASED MAINLY DUE TO LOW ROAD TAX £20 AND MPG AVG 76.5 WHICH IS DOUBLE MY OLD PETROL CAR. FUNKY DESIGN INSIDE AND OUT, VERY COMFY, GREAT HANDLING, EASY TO PARK. WOULD BUY ANOTHER ONE IN THE FUTURE.

My previous car was also a Citroen C3 and I was very pleased with it so had no hesitation in getting a newer model.

A good, useful, fairly economical vehicle. It has been reliable during my 3 years ownership.
