Citroen C3 Pluriel

Performance

75bhp and 100bhp 1.4 and 1.6-litre petrols and a powerful 1.6-litre diesel.

Driving

Very little fun to drive, the car suffers with the roof removed and the body judders at speed.

Feel

Decent considering the nature of the Pluriel.

---

Price

Incredibly cheap for a convertible and decent fuel economy. Doubtful if it will hold value though.

Quality

Not particularly impressive inside. Engines likely to be fine.

Safety

ABS, front and side airbags as standard.

---

Space

Plenty upfront. Not so much at the back at there's no room for the roof bars to be stowed.

Equipment

CD player, 4 electric windows and electrically-powered roof as standard.

Alternatives

Daihatsu Copen, MINI One Convertible, Mitsubishi Colt CZC, Nissan Micra CC, Peugeot 206 CC, Smart Fortwo Cabriolet, Vauxhall Tigra, Volkswagen Beetle Convertible

Pros

Great price. Good fuel economy.

Cons

Nearly everything else.
