Road Test

Citroën C3 1.4 HDi Exclusive

Test date 28 May 2002  Price as tested £11,965

The Citroen C3 aims to continue a long Gallic tradition of fun small cars and must charm buyers away from a string of very new, very capable rivals.

To beat them, Citroen has tried to do something different again; the tall, rounded lines of the Lumiere concept were an accurate preview of how the production C3 would turn out.

But fresh styling is unlikely to be enough. Its rivals may look more serious, but they are equally serious about cost, practicality, quality and dynamics. The C3 will need to be as able as its styling is original if it is to succeed.
