Used Citroën C3 Pluriel 2003 - 2010 review

None of the cars in the Citroen C3 Pluriel range will give your wallet much cause for concern when it comes to fuel economy. The 1.4-litre petrol engine is the least impressive and yet it still turns in more than 40mpg, with the 1.6-litre petrol marginally better. If you really don't like filling stations, the 1.4 turbodiesel is the one for you with its 62.8mpg combined consumption.

Insurance won't be a problem, as the highest rating is group 6 for the 1.6-litre model. This makes the Pluriel a sensible choice for younger drivers looking for some open air fun.

Service items for a Pluriel will not cost very much, but Warranty Direct points out that Citroen dealers' service departments charge more than many other mainstream manufacturers. Finding a good local Citroen specialist in you area could cut the costs here significantly.
