The Citroen C3 1.6 Exclusive has High seats and comfortable to drive. Front Window bars to thick on roundabouts can block out whole cars. Poor gear exchange in 1st to Auto. Bad follow up on problems. Really sorry I bought this car before I'd read other peoples comments.

I've owned my C3 for 6 months now, and covered about 6k in that time absolutely without fault, I've had not a single problem with this car.

That said, I only saw the horrific reviews for this car, and the embarrassment of being last on the Top Gear reliability board after I purchased mine. I then continued driving poised for mine to break, without that happening.

I bought it with low mileage, only 8k on an 03 in early 05. I figured, I do a lot of mileage, if it was going to break down it would have pretty soon, but I don't predict that it will.

It is a very comfortable car to drive, with a surprisingly comfortable up-right driving position. I particularly like the digital speedo. This car has a lot to offer on motorway journeys, I've had no shortage of needed power from the 1.4 petrol, perhaps probably needing slight working on uphill over taking, but that's expected.

I'm happy to report that I've had no problems with my on board computer, it is still pretty clued in, and knows exactly what's going on when. I also like the feature of the rear windscreen wiper coming on when you reverse in rain.

The car is loaded with differences that people will either like or loath, such as the indicator chime, minimalistic dials and bubble shape.

This car is very safe however receiving high ratings in the Euro N-cap tests, fitted with four airbags and a bunch of other safety devices like side impact beams.

It is difficult to say whether I would recommend this car on account of the number of problems other people have experienced, so all I'll say is I haven't experienced a single problem.

I paid £12-500 for my Citroen C3 has £3000-00 of extras on it. They told me it is worth £9000-00 now after 5 months & 3000 miles.
I like the car but I dont like the dealer they are not intrested in any faults on the C3. My wife & I are disabled the C3 is ideal for people with disabilites, Its High up. The Sun roof is fantastic, It drive sfantastic in the snow.
