The old C3 sold over 2 million units and Citroen need their new one to be just as popular. In this video, Graham from the office finds out if this latest C3 is good enough to compete with modern supermini rivals.
I love to drive my new c3. I have the 90 horsepower diesel engine, which suits the car just fine. Yes I payed the prize for 'all that extra glass', and every penny was worth to be spend on it. It really makes you cheerful. I don't think this car is ugly at all. It has a grown-up interior, nice shape and lots of character. And it's just fun to drive, if you don't make the mistake to take it for a racing car. It's not build for formula 1 wannabes.
it all depends on people's taste, for ex me and my mom share a car, and she is shortert than me and wants a higher driving position. when she sat in fiesta she had problems getting out and didn't like the interior. polo on the other hand was too hard-ish, she had problem with getting in, her head stuck etc. and in c3...everything was perfect. some may say different but hey, that's why they offer so many different models
I like Citroen for their quirkiness but didn't like the previous C3. This one is better but shame they ditched the digital speedometer. Have had Citroen and been no problem.
@thingsidream Obviously you haven't been inside one. Believe me, it's a great feeling. Also for those riding in the back that can see much more, and have more light. And if the sun is too much you can simply slide the cover forward. And btw the zenith windscreen plus the lightweight 16' rims and the front center harm support for 400€...I wouldn't call that overpriced... more then worth it.
northing, Glass as been shatter proff on the frout of cars for years! Side windows and some rears are not always tho. in a roll over only the center and the frout/rear of the car matters. Thats why on F1 cars They have that shark fin thing behide the drivers head on the body so it it rolls the drivers head isnt the first thing the ground hits.
C3 has a nicer dashboard than the Fiesta, exterior the Fiesta wins though but the C3 has the cool zenith windscreen which wins me over. Polo is just old plain looking, don't know why this guy keeps mentioning it.
@thingsidream Showing your stupidity eh? That sunroof is very dimmed and heat / UV protected so sunlight doesnt bother you at all, and it creates a very airy and spaceous atmosphere inside, even on direct sunlight, and you can close the windshield to normal size because it has a roofline in interior that slides forward.
Bought one today and I'm picking it up next week. I didn't even know about that windscreen feature! :o Can't wait to check it out! Btw it felt very comfortable driving... this guy is rambling.
Small Citroen never really seem good enough ok with a big citroen you still get flaws but you get DS ride quality you take the BX, SM & C6 they are good flawed but good. Small and medium sized citroen is cheap.
What a boring new Citroen, that steering sounds like its trying to be like the old self centering system of the spaceship CX. When is PSA going to let the Citroen leg make real style icons again, and without filling them with Peugeot electronics which will go wrong.
