Citroen has cleverly repositioned its ageing C3 supermini as one of the cheapest new cars on sale today. What's the new C3 You! like to drive, considering it undercuts a Fiesta by £6k? 🤔
You’ll see the 15-inch steel wheels clearly visible under ill-fitting plastic covers but otherwise the C3 You! is remarkably modern and chic-looking, outside at least. Citroen’s short-lived Airbumps trend for bubble-wrapped doors has passed, leaving a crisp, smooth style that still looks appealing.
What strikes you most is the tiny five-inch monochrome screen where the radio would normally sit . Despite appearances, it is actually a touchscreen – and feels as ancient as the first Casio digital watches. Crucially, it works and does the basics effectively and, unless you’re a complete tech-head, we’d wager most people won’t miss all-singing-and-dancing infotainment.
It might be very cheap, but there’s a decent smattering of standard equipment: six airbags are standard, as is cruise control, manual air-conditioning, alarm, remote central locking and tyre pressure monitoring system. Note also wind-up rear windows – a rare sight, nowadays…The C3 You! is powered by the simplest, cheapest powertrain available in the C3 range: a tiny 1199cc three-cylinder petrol engine, high on character and low on grunt.
It is perhaps unfair to criticise one of the UK’s cheapest cars for lacklustre performance; this is, rather, a car to mobilise young drivers or perhaps serve as an additional family runabout – and it fulfils this brief well. The ride quality has that Citroen plump that we’ve come to know and love, smoothing away the worst of the road acne that peppers our streetscapes.

2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV, Chevy Camaro dead, EV charging robot: Today's Car NewsWe drove the 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV and found it looks like a Hummer H2 with no shortage of the excess that implies. The stance is reminiscent of a bulldog, and the outward visibility is limited, which is why GM equipped it with 17 camera projections. It's fast, inefficient, and so capable off-road it can show off. Chevrolet announced the Camaro will die...
