Citroen C3

Another Citroen, another topsy-turvy results table! The C3 was voted ninth for running costs – which has a lot to do with the maker’s super-frugal small-capacity petrol engines and even more economical HDi diesels. But at the other end of the spectrum, it was a poor 86th in both the handling and performance categories.

MANUFACTURER VERDICT

It may be the best-placed French firm, but you say Citroens are unreliable, badly built, slow and have awful handling. The new C5 can’t come quick enough – let’s hope it can improve things.
