I bought a new Citroen Diesal C3, when we arrived in france in 2004, in my opinion, fantastic, great on fuel, lovely runner and more spacious in the back than you would imagine, but then before this i had a bright yellow megane cabriolet !! I, to date had no problems and the citroen garage is about 5 minutes away and they are great, service around 130 euros but not had an MOT yet as this is 4 years in france !! I would most certainly recommend them, my french neighbour even when and bought one as she saw how grt mine was, and trouble free !! Kelsxx
