2004 Citroen C3 SX review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent reliability and value!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 500 miles, the car started firing on 3 cylinders - taken back to dealer and diagnosed to a faulty coil pack. Fixed next day whilst we had a courtesy C3.
Nothing else - car has been impeccably reliable.
General comments?
An excellent little car that is tough to beat for the price. The SX gets climate control, electric windows, auto lights & wipers, arm rests, CD player, fuel computer, all standard.
The ride is excellent, the handling not so, but still pretty good and predictable.
The fuel economy is excellent for a petrol 1.4i - 45-50mpg on a run - the on-board trip computer shows the current/previous fuel consumption.
The interior is a little plasticy, but the design is excellent and very unique - the whole car looks very individual compared with your Corsas/Polos etc.
Cheap to run, cheap to tax, cheap to service (every 20,000) - an excellent little car.
