    Good Points: Effective convertible features and air con.


    Bad Points: A gearbox fault that seems to have effected many versions of Sensodrive cars.


    General comments: I bought the Citroen C3 Pluriel 1.6 16V Sensotronic in 2006, trading in my much loved 1999 Saxo VTR.....What a mistake.

This culminated eventually, in total gearbox failure last October and a bill for nearly £1,500!!!! Not happy and don't really know what to do apart from selling the car.

    Mechanically the Citroen C3 Pluriel is excellent and very economic. A great fun car. The easiest car I've ever driven and always a joy to drive, especially in summer with the top down. Its also good in winter because the heater is brilliant. Overall, a clever design let down by poor plasticy fittings.
