Citroen C2 (2003-) Review

Category: Superminis 3 out of 5

Summary of the Citroen C2 (2003-)

Price Range: £9,845 to £14,145

Assets

Comfy ride, spacious in the front, cheap to buy and run, cheeky styling.

Drawbacks

Limited rear room, tiny boot, SensoDrive gearbox; not as cute-looking or well-packaged as newer C1, or indeed, Renault Twingo.

Verdict

Great value for money, as long as you don't bother spending out on the larger engines - 1.1 is a surprisingly good all-rounder. Feeling dated now, however.

Citroen C2 Review

Used Value3 out of 5

Demand is strong for the C2, as it's a very popular car among younger drivers. Values remain quite strong - to a point - as many young drivers find a brand-new C2 with free insurance a better deal than a second-hand one they have to source their own policy for. Versions with foglights, a CD player, electric windows and air conditioning are sought-after, but even base-spec models will find a cost-conscious buyer.
