Thinking of buying a used Citroen C3?

The style of the car

The Citroen C3 is a stylish five-door hatchback that oozes French flair. Its modern and stylish design is striking and will attract attention wherever you go. There’s plenty of choice, from the entry-level Touch version up to the higher-spec Flair Nav Edition.

How it drives

The Citroen C3 was designed to whizz through tight Parisian streets so it’s very easy to drive and park anywhere. And with nippy, efficient petrol and diesel engines, it’s as happy darting around the city as it is cruising on the motorway. Add in very comfortable suspension and the C3 is a small car that’s incredibly good to drive.

The interior

The Citroen C3 is a clever bit of design. On the outside, it looks compact and easily fits into a standard-sized parking space but inside it feels like a much larger car. The boot is one of the biggest in its class with room for a couple of hard suitcases or several weekend bags. There’s seating for three people in the rear and with five doors it’s easy to get in and out. All cars come with plenty of tech such as a touch screen and dashcam, while higher-spec cars add navigation, parking sensors and more advanced safety features.

Running costs and reliability

A used Citroen C3 is very affordable to buy and thanks to its popularity, there’s a version to suit all budgets. It’s also incredibly good value for money to run, with low-cost insurance, tax and fuel bills. According to the JD Power customer satisfaction reports, Citroen scores well for reliability. Add in economical servicing costs and parts, and a used Citroen C3 won’t cost you much to maintain. It’s also safe, receiving a solid score in the latest Euro NCAP safety tests.

How it compares with similar cars

The Citroen C3 sits between the C1 city car and the C4 family hatchback in the Citroen range. It has more space than the C1 but costs less than the C4. It’s a trendy choice that looks and feels more stylish than its popular rivals, the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa. It also has better technology and delivers a really comfortable drive. It’s no wonder it’s picked up plenty of awards from the likes of Top Gear magazine. If you love the distinct style of the Citroen C3 but need a little more space you could also consider the Citroen C3 Aircross.
