The CITROEN C3 (2002-10) 3DR PLURIEL CONVERTIBLE 1.4 75 is a small, three-door city car with a clever open-air character, sitting among affordable used superminis rather than larger family cars. Based on the C3, its removable roof sections and folding fabric top make it stand out from conventional rivals such as the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 357 checks covering 154 distinct cars, a useful sample for this older, distinctive model. Checked examples average around 81,000 miles and 5,000 miles a year; the average private-sale valuation is £500. With about six previous keepers on average, condition and service history deserve close attention when viewing one. Best suited to drivers wanting a fun runabout, it can handle commuting and town errands, while its open roof adds summer appeal. The 1.4 petrol suits relaxed driving; this C3 Pluriel is less practical than hatchbacks, but offers more personality than small-car alternatives.
