No, definately not, if I;d have wanted a boy racer sounding car - I'm sure that's not what Citroen had in mind of the new Citroen C3

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£12,500

When did you buy the car?

January 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

Thought we did, after looking at prices on internet, but now realise paid the going rate

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I had previously had the old shaped C3 for nearly 7 years from new

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Its nice to drive, but the constant resonating/rasping sound when you accelerate/change gears is very off putting and annoying after a while...

What's it like to park?

Have you had any problems with the car?

The new Citroen C3 Visiodrive has a resonating sound (coming from what you think is a blown exhaust) and I;ve had the car back twice. I am the first and only owner of the new C3 in Hull and at first they acknowledged that yes there was a resonating and rasping sound (it sounds like a boy race who's had the card doctored!!!) and then all of a sudden when I;d taken it in again, they told me that it was a characteristic of the car......... even though I said I wouldn;t have bought a boy racer car... but cause they have nothing to compare with (and consequently its so new had no ther complaints about this yet) I have been fobbed off!!!! Yes, people do look at me driving the new C3, but not because of its looks, its because of the boy racer sound it makes...... given I;m a Grandmother of 5
