The Citroen C3

There’s no doubt that the small car market is hot and getting hotter by the month and fuel consumption isn’t the only important factor in this market. Price point can be a major influence and there is a lot of competition at the lower end of the price range.

But for some people price isn’t really much of an influencing factor; some want the convenience of a small car but but want some flair to go with the size. So for those people here is a little French panache

The Citroen C3 is definitely not the biggest small car on the market but it’s price is certainly up there at the higher end of the scale. At a recommended retail price of around $20k for the base model 1.4 litre manual the Citroen is definitely not for those who stress about price point. But for that price you certainly do get something that’s going to stand out from the crowd.

The Citroen C3 also comes in a 1.6 litre version and right now Citroen Australia is offering the C3 1.6 litre Exclusive Manual from $21,990 drive away and the C3 Limited Edition Auto Petrol from $23,990 drive away.

Citroen C6 – French With Lots of Class

A couple of days ago I admitted that I liked quirky French cars and we looked at a real no-frills car from France – the Renault Logan; if it ever reaches Australia the Logan could retail for as little as $9,500.

Today we’re going to look at another French car that certainly is quirky but it could never be described as no-frills and it sure ain’t cheap. It’s the Citroen C6 and it offers the maximum rating for passenger safety and a four star safety rating for pedestrians.

The Citroen C6 comes with your choice of a 3 litre V6 petrol engine or a 2.7 litre turbocharged diesel. This car also comes with just about every extra you could hope for fitted as standard but if you have a few dollars left over after you’ve ordered the car you can spend an extra $2,000 for an electric glass roof and $4,000 for Citroen’s in-car navigation system.

Of course, if you don’t want those extras then you can pick up the C6 for $102,000 for the petrol powered version and around $109,000 for the diesel version.
