Citroen C3 1.4i Desire

The newest Citroen Supermini is for those who don’t particularly care for the boxy look of most of the competition, and its curves will invariably raise a smile of even a dull morning. It’s got a funky interior too, and an interesting take on digital instrumentation that I quite like. I disagree with cribs voiced about the plastics used in the trim, I think it’s all of high quality and bright and cheerful. I’m also impressed by the engine range, with the 1.1-litre well capable of coping with average motoring needs as long as the 0-60 doesn’t concern you too much, a 1.4-litre that’s more nicely peppy, a 1.6-litre with an automatic trans, and the piece de resistance is the 1.4-litre turbodiesel developed jointly with Ford that is a real eco-engine.
