The CITROEN C3 (2002-10) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 SS 90 XTR AUTO5 is a small, five-door supermini with a practical cabin and distinctive, outdoorsy XTR trim. It sits in the affordable city-car and small-hatchback market, offering more everyday versatility than a tiny runabout while remaining easy to park. With a 1.4-litre petrol engine and automatic-style five-speed operation, it suits urban trips, commuting and errands, and its five doors help with passengers or child seats. The C3 is best for first-time buyers, couples or small households seeking an affordable used car with a friendly, upright feel. XTR’s rugged details set it apart from more conventional rivals such as the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa. mycarcheck.com records 119 checks across 63 distinct VINs, a snapshot rather than a full-market measure.
