1.2 PureTech (82bhp) Edition 5d
Citroen C3 Hatchback 2010

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

As surprised as I was with the punchy little 3 pot engine and the smooth engine, it did not make me want the car with its extremely long gear throw that made me question weather it was actually in gear. old looking stereo which somehow had Bluetooth but hard to use and the steering controls were near unusable and might as well not been there. to go with the stretching for the extremely low gear stick with long shifts. how this can be offered as a 5dr car is unbelievable it has no space in the back and no boot space could only fit a small buggy in there and nothing more and had to move the passengers seat all the way forward for a car seat to fit. the car just felt out of place mostly and was not practical Citroen is to busy focusing on there weird and ugly designs on the outside that the inside gets forgotten.

How reliable do you find the car?

no troubles in the 3 days of having it for a courtesy car

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

not fond of Citroen's to begin with my mum has a C4 1.6 auto and yes both cars have surprisingly punchy engines (to start) but lack feel and sensible tech/layout (to say typical of Citroen/french cars)
