I drive the C3 Shine 1.5l Diesel Version (german version) since 8 months. The quality is good for this class and as the Australian Reviewer said, it feels like you're sitting in a bigger car. The car drives very well on hilly roads and on the highway with 180 km/h (110 mph).
For people who can think past a Fiesta or Corsa this is a great car to own and drive, quality, engineering is great, and fun, you won't get bored owning this car, and that's important,
I still don't have it! The dealership kept stalling, and we finally figured out that they're waiting for my current lease to expire, which is Dec, so it's just sitting on their lot. I can see it when I drive by!
@@popescucalin3998 No! But it has to be any day now, as the current lease expires next month. I hope we don't owe a fortune, because I exceeded the 40k miles by an extra 8k. Anyone have any experience with that?
@@popescucalin3998 Finally got my ride today! Too bad I can't post a pic; it looks really cute. Just my size. It's super comfortable and handles nicely. The dash is pretty much the same as the Cactus. Unfortunately, so is the PSI, so it didn't have much power going up a hill, but it's OK for my purposes (mostly city driving).
I have had the first and second generation C3 the first for 7.5 yrs and the 2nd for 7.5 yrs and counting. what many people don't realise is that today's super minis are the same size as many family size cars of the 70s/80s ect. look at the size of an original Mini car to a super mini
Just bought my new C3 Flair Nav (80), so far loving it! Miss the 1.6 HDI drive which had last 10 years but will get used to it... So far averaging 52mpg. This model has all the toys and is great.
nice review. i test one and frankly love this model. the best in class in terms of confort, as for engine very nice as well. i have one Jazz 1.3 CVT from 2018 and only in quality Honda is better. i will buy one C3 and sell my Honda because this CVT transmission is really bad.
@@georgem2456 true, I already sold that Honda and C3 as well. Nice confort but to many small noises. Now I have Seat Arona, better quality but less confort.
@@joserasak Small issues, but still it's something. I like the looks, how comfortable it is and especially the 1.5 diesel is ridiculously economical. How many miles did you have before selling it ?
Gran bella macchina , testata anche per qualche ora di seguito ; è molto bella , parecchio comoda e ha diversi accessori pratici e funzionali . .. ma da possessore non la consiglierei. È la mia prima citroën e ho il mod mk3 se non erro. Sono rimasto maluccio sul consumo (che se non si guida a bassi giri , come dice il pc di bordo , Beve come un matto) , ammortizzatori che credo siano il punto debole (non si comporta molto bene se non si è a bassi regimi e sono già a 2 spaventi mentre percorro una curva lievemente sconnessa, e non a 2000km/h), alcune fra le rifiniture : un esempio fra alcuni è la ruota di scorta che "balla" nel proprio alloggiamento , l'esile blocco di plastica si sgancia ad ogni dosso creando non poco rumore. Sono stato avvertito anche di una cinghia nel motore , probabilmente quella di distribuzione , descrittami da un meccanico come "moolto pericolosa se si rompesse , occhio !"...e non sto a dire cosa mi ha risposto quando gli ho chiesto se la cosa fosse frequente. Presa in sostituzione di una vecchia macchina è stato un buon aggiornamento per me, ma non mi ha colpito. Peccato.
I did. They are easy to use and once you get used to them you can use them without even looking. I don't really get the fuss. My Toyota had physical buttons and were harder to use on the fly.
Which French capital city would you choose to nominate as a properly world class example, as having traveled there cannot think of one that does not suffer from severe law and order issues. I love France, and French people. I hate misrepresentation.
Got one of these as a courtesy car whilst my car was in the shop and I hated it. I felt you sat too high in the seats that couldn’t be adjusted up and down and the overall performance is sluggish.
brian hume this might be the most retarded comment I’ve ever read and hope that this is just a joke that is flying way over my head. If you’re American I can understand the mental deficiency but if you’re from any other country then it’s really not excusable.
Just got it as hire car from Hastings direct even though I told them I’m to big for the vehicle 😡 . The cars to small, horrible 1.2 engine, reverse camera is blurry, the clutch biting points are horrible (I can’t stop stalling it from stand still), suspension super crashy over speed bumps even at low speeds, inside is tiny, making me get abdominal cramps pain, worse vehicle I’ve ever driven in my life.
So why do you waste your precious time seeking out a video channel to promote your dislike of a car you are never going to buy, how sad. Great car loved by those who don`t follow the herd.
@@macraghnaill3553 hated it now I know why most hate the French that car should never have been created it’s like the anti christ of cars. I have a Lexus GS 450h and now very happy now.
This is the first Australian reviewer to give an open minded review of this car. Glad someone finally gets it.

Oh yeah, I mean we don’t get a Corsa in Australia 🇦🇺 and in Australia they’ve stomped making Ford fiesta
The blue color with the white roof...it looks really modern 👍
Getting mine next week. Hope I like it as much as this guy!
Hi Luann, how is your new ride?
I still don't have it! The dealership kept stalling, and we finally figured out that they're waiting for my current lease to expire, which is Dec, so it's just sitting on their lot. I can see it when I drive by!

“Capital cities, the language, cafes” Was the scriptwriter unable to think of something even just a little less generic to praise the French for?
Quantitatively speaking we don't even have any more capital cities that the next country!
Baguette
😂
Great new car hope gains mainstream support
Mega comfory had one for week going to trade van and get one
I’m getting my dream car c3 in the green (mint 😂) good review! I can’t wait now 😂😁
hope you're enjoying your minty green c3! I love my white and red roof c3, had it for 2 years with no issues whatsoever
Completely right about this car. So comfy, good seats & the ride quality is really good with a fun Engine
nice review.
i test one and frankly love this model.
the best in class in terms of confort, as for engine very nice as well.
i have one Jazz 1.3 CVT from 2018 and only in quality Honda is better.
i will buy one C3 and sell my Honda because this CVT transmission is really bad.
It has been a common problem for Hondas that their CVT transmission is rubbish and after all these years they haven't made it better.
@@georgem2456 true, I already sold that Honda and C3 as well.
Nice confort but to many small noises.
Now I have Seat Arona, better quality but less confort.
@@joserasak So there was a drop in quality in the C3 after some miles ?
@@georgem2456 yes, on the dash some noises. Rear cover same issue. With better quality this car it’s perfect in terms of ride confort.
@@joserasak Small issues, but still it's something. I like the looks, how comfortable it is and especially the 1.5 diesel is ridiculously economical. How many miles did you have before selling it ?
Very cool & different. Thumbs up.
Its a shame that Citroen never marketed this car properly in Australia.

I hope this sales in Canada.
“A really small car” you what I saw it the other day and it is massive nearly as big as the C4 cactus.
Nice car. Citroen should launch this in India.
Yes, very nice car but why india?
Matej Basnec because Options in this category have been limited to the same manufacturers for many years now.
Awesome 👌👍
Does it have a plug in for a GPS? And is it a cigarette lighter type plug in or a USB type?
Where do you insert the physical key on a c4 ? I cant find the ignition
Can you please advise the year and variant of Citroen C4 that you're referring to?
How do I fill the water tank for window wiping
Will you get used to the climate controls in the touchscreen?
I did.
They are easy to use and once you get used to them you can use them without even looking.
I don't really get the fuss.
