The model
Read full Citroën C3 reviewWith its funky looks inside and out, the 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 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.
