Citroen C3 2017 practicality review _ Mat Watson Reviews

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enfor a small hatchback the Citron C3 is supposed to be quite practical but is it I'm going to find out in this video by seeing just how much stuff you can cram into it well up front it's very easy to get comfy in the Cen C3 there's plenty of adjustment for the driver's seat and the chairs are soft and squidgy in the back space is only okay if you're over 6t tall the c3's curved roof light makes head room pretty tight and there's less knee room than in Rivals like the Nissan micro the middle seat is quite comfy though and shoulder room is okay for this class of car and there's plenty of room under the front seats for everyone to put their feet so it's okayish for carrying through in the back if you absolutely bluming need to the good news is is that if you've got smaller passengers it's pretty easy to install a child seat in the C3 the isopix MS are exposed between the seat cushions and the doors are quite large they don't quite open to 90° so getting bigger seats through the Gap might be a bit more tricky the citen C3 scored four stars in the Euro endcap crash tests adult and child occupant scores were up to the best in class but low ratings in The Pedestrian protection and safety assist categories knocked the star off however all c3s do get speed limit recognition Lane departure warning and cruise control as standard the C3 has a 300 L boot that means the space for a push chair and a couple of soft bags and a set of golf clubs will also fit it can also hold a large and small suitcase but the space isn't quite tall enough to fit another small suitcase when the parle Shelf is still in place other than a couple of teing hooks the c3's boot doesn't have any clever features either that's not too unusual for these size of cars but a Volkswagen Polo gets an adjustable boot floor which will come in handy here because the C3 has a big load lip to lift stuff over the boot opening itself is fairly wide though so at least you can make the most of the space follow the rear seats down and the c3's volume grows to 922 L there is a big hump between the floor and the seats though so it's a little awkward for loading larger items and pushing them to the front of the car still the C3 can swallow a bike even with its Wheels attached which Rivals such as the Ford Fiesta can't do the C3 can also take a TV box two medium boxes two small boxes one large suitcase two small suitcases and a couple of soft bags that's pretty good for this size of car but that curved roof line which affected headro also eats into load space the C3 does do okay for interior cubby spaces though but Rivals like the Vox or corser are a little better also in right hand drive cars the glove box is Tiny because the fuse box takes up more than half the space the door pockets are really big though and they're pale in color so it's easy to spot small items when it's dark or just show up how much rubbish you've kept in them the front cup holders are good for a cup of coffee or two but aren't deep enough to hold a bottle there's also a small shelf under the infotainment screen and another beside the steering wheel for good measure if you click up
