With 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.

Range-topping Shine Plus is rather expensive, but it’s the only way to get our favourite PureTech 110 engine with a manual gearbox. It also gets all the kit you want, including automatic emergency braking (AEB).

This 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.
