Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The CITROEN C3 (2002-10) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 HDI 70 SX is a small five-door diesel hatchback for everyday UK driving rather than long-distance luxury. Its rounded, upright shape gives it a distinctive look and useful cabin space, making it a practical alternative to a Ford Fiesta, Renault Clio or Peugeot 206.
With its 1.4-litre diesel engine, the C3 suits commuters and first-time buyers wanting an easy-to-live-with car where fuel costs matter. Five doors help with passengers and shopping, while its compact size is handy for town parking. Compared with similarly aged small hatchbacks, it prioritises comfort and practicality over sporty performance.
