had the aircross C3 for 3 years and loved it. But needed something a touch smaller and cheaper, so went for the C3 hatchback. Much the same car. Looks the part, reliable and i hope to get 5/8 years out of it. Dont see why not. Nice drive as well.

Citroën C3 (2025) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Cool styling inside and out | Entry-level engine not great on pace or refinement |
| Comfy ride | Some ergonomic frustrations |
| Relatively affordable | Bare-minimum warranty arrangement |
Quick Summary
The Citroën C3 (2025) is a stylish and cheerful budget supermini that trades traditional hatchback design for a raised SUV-like stance. Despite its compact four-metre footprint, it offers surprising interior space with comfortable seating for four and a 310-litre boot. The car prioritises comfort with its Advanced Comfort Suspension, delivering a plush ride that makes daily driving easy. Standard equipment is generous for the price, including a 10.25-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic LED headlights, and rear parking sensors on the Plus trim.
Two petrol engines are available: a 98bhp turbocharged 1.2-litre manual achieving up to 52.0mpg, and a more refined 108bhp hybrid automatic delivering 59.2mpg. Whilst the entry-level engine is noisy and requires high revs for adequate pace, the hybrid offers a more relaxed driving experience. Running costs are low, with insurance group 24 and a flat VED rate of £195 annually. The C3 represents excellent value for budget-conscious buyers seeking a practical, comfortable, and stylish small car, though performance and refinement are modest compromises.
Best for: Budget-conscious buyers, those prioritising comfort and style, families needing a practical small car, and drivers seeking low running costs.
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking spirited performance, those wanting premium refinement, or drivers frustrated by unconventional design choices like the square steering wheel.

Competitive Position: The Citroën C3 (2025) is a compelling choice in the budget supermini segment, offering excellent value with stylish design, surprising practicality, and a genuinely comfortable ride.
