The one they gave me was terrible, Had no petrol in it at all so first thing i had to do was put petrol in it, it was a 1.1 and it was absolutely hell i went to over take someone not thinking about it dropped it down into 3rd foot on gas...no power foot on floor...no power 2nd gear...no power i then moved back in and decided over taking was a bad idea. Motorway was also interesting it had trouble reaching 70 for some reason its must have had a very hard life is all i can say as my other cars with similar sized engines have never been that bad. My old clio could happily cruise at 100mph all day long. The C3 was just awful. At the time though i was thinking my C4 was horrible due to the many teething issues and recalls it had been through. Now though i love it. And seriously thinking about moving up to a VTS.
