The CITROEN C3 (2013-17) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 BLUEHDI DPFR 75 EU6 PLATINUM is a five-door supermini, compact for town driving but practical for everyday errands and small-family use. In the UK, it competes with the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and Volkswagen Polo, adding distinctive French styling to this popular class. The 75hp 1.6 BlueHDi diesel is best suited to steady commuting and longer trips, with economy a key appeal; it is less suited to drivers seeking brisk performance. Platinum trim gives the C3 a more upmarket feel, while its manageable size and comfortable, easy-going character suit first-time buyers, commuters and downsizers.
