 haydndoggie's recommendation | |
Roomy, comfortable, very nice to drive and a degree of gallic individuality that it's contemporaries do not possess
Interior is a little plasticky and it rolls a little bit around bends. That's it though.
I have had my 2005 Citroen C3 1.4 Desire for 2 months now and have already done 3000 miles. I bought the car after 3 years with my Fiesta. My daily commute averages around 90 miles, so I was seeking an economical yet comfortable car with a bit of character. I have not been disappointed. The car drives like a dream, is very quiet and refined and feels as solid as a rock. I have never had a French car before let alone a Citroen, preferring (in my mind) to play it safe with Fords and Mitsubishi's. I think that for the price and sheer value for money it is difficult to better the C3. I also happen to think it looks great. OK it's early days and you wouldn't expect much to go wrong after 2 months of ownership but I am more than happy with my C3 at present and on these first impressions I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending it to others.
