While the Citroen C3 used to be an also-ran in the supermini class, the current car is now a strong contender in the sector. It's the automatic choice for buyers wanting a funky-looking small car at a good price.

Citroen has made great play out of the fact that the C3 is not focused on handling agility or out-and-out performance. As part of the brand’s ‘Advanced Comfort’ mantra, the C3 is trying to be an accomplished, refined companion that gets you from A to B with little fuss and no nasty interruptions from pock-marked road surfaces.

The exterior of the C3 combines lots of Citroen’s recent design traits into a pretty funky-looking package. The manufacturer also reckons the C3 is the ‘mainstream’ supermini with the greatest scope for personalisation – and there’s no denying that the extensive range of colours and options is impressive.
