Question 1

What is the weak point of the Citroen C3 1.2 PureTech?

Accepted Answer

Its timing belt runs in oil and can wear early, shedding particles that clog the oil pump's strainer. Ask for proof that the belt was checked or replaced at the intervals Citroen later shortened, and watch for high oil consumption.

Question 2

Which used Citroen C3 generation should I buy?

Accepted Answer

The third generation, from 2016, is the most common and well proven. The fourth, from 2024, has more room and a higher driving position, and only it comes as an electric car.

Question 3

Is there an automatic Citroen C3?

Question 4

Which versions does the new Citroen C3 come in?

Accepted Answer

The new C3 comes as the electric ë-C3 with 113 hp, as the Hybrid with 110 hp and the e-DCS6 dual-clutch gearbox, and as the Turbo 100 with a six-speed manual, at list price beside the used cars.
