With 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. If you do get a C3, we recommend the PureTech 110 engine and mid-spec Plus trim.

Entry-level You! trim is seriously cheap, and the only luxuries it gives you are cruise control, manual air-conditioning and heated side mirrors.

Going for this engine does save you money, but it feels underpowered; you often need to use full power just to keep up with traffic.
