Over the years,
Citroen has come up with more than a few quirky ideas. The second car it produced, the 1922 Type C 5HP, became known as the ‘petit citron' (little lemon) because of its small size and the yellow paint colour you could order it in. Since then, there has been the
Citroen Picasso, taking inspiration from Pablo Picasso's use of shape. The Citroen DS 19 was the vehicle of choice for the French President Charles de Gaulle, who
survived an assassination attempt in 1962 thanks to the car's superior
suspension system, allowing his chauffeur to drive away after two of the
tyres were shot.
Citroen's C3 model is brimming with quirky styling features and offers serious scope for customisation, delighting some drivers while alienating others. It is often praised for its comfortable interior and decent equipment levels (at a reasonable price), though it isn't as good to drive as other small cars and isn't very spacious for passengers in the back.
One of the C3's most significant selling points is its reliability. There are no known problems in the most recent iteration, though faulty electrics are a known weak point for earlier Citroen models. In 2023, the C3 won the 'World Urban Car' prize at the 19th World Car Awards.
An interim car service - sometimes called a minor car service - involves inspecting several key car components and systems, including a safety assessment, engine oil change and fluid check.
The car service schedule for an interim service is every six months or every six thousand miles. As a driver, following this guidance is smart because if you don't, you may not realise a problem is developing, and it could cost you more money later down the line. Interim services can catch potential problems early.
The difference between an interim and full service is the number of components checked; a full service is more comprehensive. Likewise, the difference between a vehicle health check and interim service is that the former only includes the inspection of various parts. In contrast, the latter may consist of an oil change and the topping up of other fluids.
