The model
Read full reviewWith its funky looks inside and out, the Citroën C3 does a great job of turning heads. It’s also surprisingly well equipped. However, it's poor to drive and not very practical, so any number of rivals are more recommendable on an objective level.
The trim
See full equipmentUpgrading to Shine finally gets you a range of engine options, and gets you the visibility pack with auto lights and wipers. It misses out on sat-nav and some safety tech, but these can be added as options and it’d still be less than splashing out for the range-topping Shine Plus. It is, therefore, our pick of the C3 range.
The engine
See full engine specsThis 108bhp 1.2-litre petrol engine is the pick of the line-up. It has plenty of pep to its step whether you’re nipping into a gap on a roundabout or merging onto the motorway.
