Bought the Citroen C3 car for the wife, she was hell bent on the car/shape. It is economical enough, but not fantastic by todays standards. I have never liked the car (1400LX) from new, the manual n/s wing mirror is hopeless & the car is noisy (road noise). If 'the boss' had allowed (after all she drives the dog 60 miles a day) I would have traded it for a diesel fiesta after 2 months. The change would have only cost another £1000.
The wife thinks the same as me now, the car is made to throw away. Obviously other people have had more problems than what we have. Our only other problem has been brakes, the squeelly & sticking variety. DIXONS would not look at it, without the threat of charging---afterall without looking how do they know the full extent of the problem. NO BRAKE PROBLEMS COVERED AFTER 3 MONTHS --- What a warranty. The same response was met from Citroen. Our other car is a Vauxhall Zafira, after 2 years the dealership was still happy to look at brake problems. No more Citroens thank you, when you buy a new car you expect 'peace of mind' and not fobbing off.
