Citroën C3 Reviews

I have had my car for 3 months, its a great car on the road but it does have one little problem, when parked up on a night when there has been a little frost it freezes up on both the outside and INSIDE. It also mists up on the inside when there is a bit of sunshine about, the water suns down the screen and onto the dash board.Apart from that its good.

A cute and distinctive little car. Great for promoting business which is why I got one. I have the senso drive gearbox, which takes a little getting used to as it can get a little confused when going from reverse to 1st. However is also has the "flappy paddles" option which is....well....just pure fun.I have the pluriel so the versatile is amazing from full car to cabrio and then to pick up....fantastic. I have not yet used it as a full cabrio or as a pick up as I do not have anywhere to store the roof bars as they can not be stored in the car....Good echonomically too, around £52 to fill up at the moment and getting well over 350 miles to a tank. Cheap enough to insure and service. Great little thing.

I bought this car in April 2011 from car giant. 5 years old with 27,000 miles. Cost £3,600. Could not believe my luck. The amount of extras that you get such as cruise control, automatic light, climate control, trip computer, security system are extremely generous. This model comes with a flapped panel gear box. The road tax for 6 ...  Read the complete review

I never intended to purchase the C3, but what drew me in most was the cars looks. My previous car was a Peugeot 206, and I was looking for a car with less problems, a car that would be reliable. Because I encountered many problems with my 206, I didn't trust Peugeot, so I looked at other makes. I'm a student so it needed to be cheap ...  Read the complete review

To start with i cannot fault this car on style,its sheer beauty is what drawn me to it in the first place,although i loved and still love this car there are some minor setbacks,main setback for me is the petrol consumption,it guzzles the petrol and i fill it at least once a week,considering this is a social car not for work i think ...  Read the complete review

BACKGROUND This is my second car and most of my comparisons will be made against my first car, a Ford Ka. I use my car for personal travel and to get me to and from work, and have clocked about 1500 miles in the three months that I have owned the car. The model that I have is a Citroen C3 SX 1.4L in silver. THE ...  Read the complete review

I've had a Citreon c3 for three years and am very pleased with it but at first it took some time to get used to. We bought ours at two years old with one previous owner and 10,000 miles. The design of the car is very stylish and modern looking but the unique lush windscreen style can have it's drawbacks. The windscreen design ...  Read the complete review

I got this car, L 53 plate, for my first car a number of years ago and have not once regretted the decision! Perfect first car, a 5 door but small and easily manouerable. Great fuel consumption, fuel tank usually costs me around £40 to fill and lasts me a good number of miles (fuel consumption between 39.2-67.0 mpg); easy to keep in ...  Read the complete review

We have owned a C3 top of the range 1.6 petrol engined since 2003 and have just completed 42000K. In that period we have had it serviced every year. At 17000K (3 years) the front bearings were replaced and now we have two bills totalling Euro1200 because the sensodrive controller has failed. The car drives as if a first day driver is changing gears, very jerky and uncomfortable, unlike any other automatic I have ever owned. We would never ever buy another Citroen and certainly never recomend them.

Despite a wariness of French cars we picked up our 52 plate C3 for a bargain £4k when it was 5 years old with 17k miles on the clock - neighbours parents were emigrating and needed to shift it within the last week before they left. We used it initially as a second car/run around to our main car which I used for daily commutes ...  Read the complete review

Having driven the C3 extensively on a long holiday to Spain a few weeks ago and covered some 2,000 miles in the process, I feel that I have learnt a thing or two about it. The first thing that stands out with this car is its sleek design. The looks from the outside, the interior build, quality of the central console & the ...  Read the complete review

I bought a C3 nearly a year ago, it was not a brand new one, but I have had problems with it ever since buying it. The engine managment light came on after only a few days of owning it, i took it back to the garage that I bought it from and they couldn't see what the problem was, they ended up putting new things in that didn't need ...  Read the complete review

Had a C3 now for 6 years and time to get rid! To be fair, the thing has never failed to start - even when my battery was on the way out in the really cold depths of this winter. I'll give you a quick synopsis on my experience. Yes, a cheap car to buy and run - but very poorly made. First thing to stop working was the horn (covered under ...  Read the complete review

Engine management fault light comes on too frequently for my liking! I've had 2 x £300 bills in the last 6 months and a month later the lights on again.....aaaaargh! I drive the Citroen C3 Desire on a 54 plate, bought July 2009 with 26K on the clock for £3995..............don't think I'll b buying another, looking to trade for a Peugeot 206 Hdi asap!! Don't believe in throwing good money after bad.

My wife is the owner of the Citroen C3 1.4 SX in Misty Lilac. As a 6'2" man of large build, small cars are usualy my biggest pet hate because they are uncomfortable and cramped, however the C3 seems to have been very cleverly designed to not feel as small as it is. As a driver, i can with relative comfort drive ...  Read the complete review

Just over two months ago my peugeot 206 GTi decided to die and I realised it was time for a new car. I recently had a baby and my 3 door 206 was also becoming a nightmare with its lack of space. With very little time I rushed my purchase of a 55 plate Citroen C3 VTR. I have totally fallen in love with this car. I purchased it for ...  Read the complete review

I've had my Citroen for just over 3 years, bought it used from a Citroen dealer, with 20,000 on the clock. For 2 years, it's been great - it's roomy, massive boot compared to its size. However, now I've got the dreaded Engine Management Light problems. It happens once the engine has heated up a little. The light comes on, the car jolts, ...  Read the complete review

After owning my little Citroen C3 for just over 6 years, the time has come to move on to better things. So this week, 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 ...  Read the complete review

bought my C3 in April 2008 1.4 HDI not as comfortable as my Picasso but on economy cant fault it .with road tax at £35 a year I saved £135 on road tax alone so well worth having .I find it to be a nippy little car and and get well over 55 to the gallon.the interior makes a few squeaky noises but I can put up with that.It starts every time and has never let me down, so I would recommend it.
