first drive: 2017 citroen c3 puretech - 5 point touch screen

This is Citroen's third generation C3 super mini.
The current look is consistent with the family look of the C4 Cactus, and its look is absolutely radical.
Unfortunately, it is based on a warm
Version of ten years-
Then the old platform.
There's a new one coming, but it doesn't show up until this C3 reaches half
Life facelift-how do you facelift a car that looks like something else, but in the meantime, you may have decided to wait until dawn on that day.
There is a choice 1 behind the problem. 2-
Gasoline and 1 liter. 6-
Each liter of diesel engine provides the choice of power output in turn.
We have the most powerful petrols here, and the range,
First-class talent specifications.
So our test car is full of me. an-SUV-honest–I-
Am styling bag.
We really wanted to laugh at it, but to be honest, it worked well to give C3 a character of its own-it went on internally and there was a 7.
0 "the touch screen handles most of the controls.
This is not an ergonomic nirvana, but it certainly allows the car design team to create clean lines without the need for buttons and switches.
It should also allow better Part loading and larger boss to be designed, so we don't know where the problem is.
But we do know why it all feels a bit cheap.
Thanks to the hard shiny plastic everywhere you see it.
Throw a suitcase with only enough luggage and rear seats, and barely even, you have a car crying for this new platform so its designers can start from scratch.
When they get it, it will be interesting to see what Citroen's chassis robot does.
At the moment, the company has taken a bold step to soften the c3s suspension-not to make it drive and manipulate like the SUV it wants, maybe, maybe not, but of course, it has a relaxed, gentle atmosphere that works to some extent.
The problem is that it doesn't have enough damping to hold the body to B-
Road, also do not keep the length of the impact when the pot hole becomes hard and sharp.
However, it was well controlled in town-where the light steering of the c3s was also seen in the best light.
However, its suspension allows its body to swing and bounce too much at a higher speed, lacking a sense of urgency and precisionof-
Driving is a bit frustrating.
Both steering control and shifting are vague-there is an automatic option that you may want to look at Based on this evidence.
Of course, the highlight is 1. 2-litre engine.
This feeling is strong and willing, there will be a lot of ups and downs that will move you and a good change as you speed up.
In the absence of a lab coat, we observed enough to indicate the number 9 claimed.
3 seconds should be easy to copy and don't need to drive like your grandma to get a fuel return on the right side of 50mpg.
Styling like this, there won't be too many grandmothers who love C3-certainly not in the form of talent anyway.
Narrowing down makes it more conservative both internally and externally, so that's where the silver pound might go-although given that a clear youth appeal attempt is underway here, the most important thing compared to the cars we tested was that at a price of £ 15,995 it was just a visit to the cash spot, less than what you spent on something like Mini Cooper.
Waiting for the dealer discount to start, they will start after an early series of sales, you will find the truth of c3s
The world price is much better than the price on the screen.
For us,
The styling of the house is part of its charm-although it is by no means the best super mini outside, it is vibrant. 2-
The lift engine can help you forget the dynamic flaws that do exist.
