Citroën C3 Pluriel (2003 - 2010) 1.4i (75bhp) 3d (2004/04) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Its original!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Most liked it!

Would you buy this car again and why?

No, too heavy to drive, I don't think it was necessarily cheap on petrol. And tax is expensive too. I think if going to buy one of these cars, do a lot of research on the car, take a look to see if it has had a past of leaking.

What are you likely to buy next?

I am ready to buy a Peugoet 107, its smaller and more eco friendly for me. Dont have to worry when it starts raining!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£4,500

When did you buy the car?

May 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

At the time I believed I got a good deal

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Had my other car scrapped due to it being old, so I guess it was an impulse buy at the fist showroom.

What was the dealer like?

Very nice

What's it like to drive?

It was quite a heavy car so not very 'nippy' to pull out quickly/accelerate. In general it is quite a smooth drive though, but when hitting those top gears I was always too scared to go over 70 as the road handling doesnt feel very sturdy.

What's it like to park?

I found it quite difficult to park! Already scratched it once.

Have you had any problems with the car?

- It has had terrible squeaky breaks, but my uncle who has worked for Citroen confirmed that this happens to most models by Citroen. - Leaking passanger door. Few other leaks here and there. - Engine cuts out (rarely but it happens once every month or so) - Had problems with engine management (or something or other)

What's most practical about your car?

Rear seats fold forward, has been quite useful when moving house!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Not really sure, I do like the interior.
