Guest's review of Citroen C3 1.4 SX

“A nice well equiped car in sx trim, handles well and...”

★★★★☆

Good Points
The Citroen C3 1.4 SX is nice to drive, the 1.4 70hp hdi is nice and smooth and there is hardly eny noise from the engine, good equipment etc. Handling and control is very good.

Bad Points
The Citroen C3 1.4 SX's eats could be better, too much plastic in the engine bay. watch out for leaking injector seals (fumes in the engine bay) Front suspension springs broke with a bang The headlamp bulb is tricky to replace until you know how, my dealer has been very good, but Citroen UK were hard work.

General Comments
A nice well equiped car in sx trim, handles well and is very very

smooth indeed on a long run, cheap on fuel and tax (HDI)
The Citroen C3 1.4 SX's tyres brakes etc last a long time.
However certain aspects of the care seemed poor, there were lots and lots of bits of plastic in the engine bay that rattled and broke
The suspension spring breaking seems more common than you might think (there was a recall to fit a cup to retain the spring
should it fail). I think they should have replaced the springs.

The running costs are very low and i get around 70mpg .
