2012 Citroen C3 1 6 VTi Exclusive 5dr SH12UOA | Review And Test Drive 

Lovely review. My 2011 Peugeot 5008 has the same stalk controls for the radio and cruise control. I absolutely loved it. It is extremely intuitive and far easier to use than buttons on the face of the steering wheel. Operate it without moving you hands. No need to look at the stalks because you memorise the funtions after a couple of trips.

I have a 2011 model and have owned it for two years, a 1.6 liter diesel. I am relatively satisfied with it. But there are some annoying things about it, the heat broke in the driver's seat, as I live in Sweden you really want it in the winter, but I was shocked when I heard how much it would cost to replace it, so I haven't bothered to do it. Another thing is that I'm 191 cm tall and that's the maximum so that you don't hit the roof when you have the large windshield, the extra roof you pull, probably takes 4-5 centimeters of headroom. Another thing I don't like about the car is that there are no cup holders, not one. Then there's the fact that the steering wheel can't be adjusted in depth, it's more irritating than you think because at least for me it feels like I always want steering wheel three or four centimeters closer and if I were to change one thing about the car, it would be this. Another annoying thing is that the rearview mirror sometimes twists, they don't always fold out, but when you think you need to fix or find the reason for it, they suddenly works again. The suspension, yes it is soft, maybe a little to soft, sometimes it feels almost scary because you kind of don't feel the road beneath you.Then it cracks a little here and there, but I think it comes as standard with French cars and some rust bubbles start to appear on it. Yes those were the complaints. Now for what I like about it. The big tall windscreen, it's quite fantastic and you can really appreciate it if you're driving in a beautiful landscape or under a starry sky at night . The purchase price, at least in Sweden, these cars are among the cheapest on the used market and you get a lot of car for the money. That it works both as a city car but also if you want to make longer journeys. My diesel 1.6 (92 hp they throttled the engine from 116 to reduce consumption) draws 0.5 mixed driving if you drive carefully, if you are at 80 kh/h you can get it down below 0.4 liters, almost down to 0.3 . My car also has bluetooth, cruise control, traction control system and automatic temperature etc things that are not obvious on a budget car from 2011 but which are appreciated. It's also safe, got a very good rating in Euro ncap, I alwso haw a hooked on it (also not obvious that you can put it on such a small car), and it has a relatively large luggage space. If you find one in good condition for a reasonable price, I would definitely recommend the car.

Barrie Crampton.. car dealer and Rayban Stories "Tech Support" .... Well done Barrie👍

Good video Barry hope you're well 👍

Unfortunately Barrie as you know the French can’t make Cars,stick to JLR

The Germans do the "hide the cruise control" as well on the Passat's. So annoying!
