Remote-feeling steering doesn’t help; it’s not always easy to trust that the front wheels are going where you’re trying to point them.If you want to have any fun behind the wheel, the Arona and A nasty cocktail of a heavy, numb clutch pedal, a light accelerator and a woefully vague manual gearshift means driving the C3 Aircross smoothly at low speeds requires the sort of concentration needed to thread a needle.

It's reasonably punchy, although its acceleration isn’t quite a match for equivalent small SUVs, such as the Seat Arona 1.0 TSI 115. We suggest the mid-ranking PureTech 110 makes a good compromise.

The pricier Puretech 130 can’t keep up with the Arona, either, although performance is perfectly adequate and its automatic gearbox takes the effort out of motorway driving.The diesel doesn’t make much sense at all.

An entry-level 81bhp version is no longer available but we’d suggest avoiding it on the used market, as its 14.1-second 0-62mph time is sluggish, even before you’ve loaded the car up with people or luggage.Conversely, the range-topping 129bhp engine is probably more powerful than it needs to be.

Turbocharged engines make the Citroen C3 Aircross a willing performer It was never intended to be ‘sporty’, but the Citroen C3 Aircross is well behaved on the road, with enough grip for most drivers and excellent comfort. Rivals such as the As a consequence of its soft suspension, the C3 Aircross leans more dramatically than most of its rivals through bends.

The automatic, however, could only manage the sprint in 10.7 seconds when we measured it, but it proved impressively flexible in each gear, easily outpacing the Sadly, as with the diesel, our main complaint is the long throw of the manual gearbox, which is a common Citroen bugbear. Hit a pothole and there’s a violent crash as the suspension struggles to cope.Put simply, it doesn’t ride very well at all.

That said, potholes can still send a shudder through the Citroen's body, but it’s noticeably smoother than crossovers like the The 1.5-litre BlueHDi engine is familiar from models like the Acceleration from 0-62mph takes 10.8 seconds – two tenths faster than the equivalent Renault Captur – and its top speed is 114mph.The 1.2-litre turbocharged PureTech petrol is available in the C3 Aircross with 109 or 129bhp.
