Thank you so much for the prompt reply and also the welcoming. Im purchasing from 'the car shop' opted for the extra warranty, but clutch is not covered in this, so thought id ask on here for opinons. I have googled the matter and alot seem to state that the citroens have the higger clutch but id rather get verification from acutal owners. I must worn you, i am quite a worrier when it comes to cars :) The reason for switching is because i need a realiable car and the ford fiesta i own is letting me down. I understand that cars have the odd issue and im not guaranteed to be problem free with me changing but hoping the Citroen will do me proud. Since telling people the deposit has been placed on the car i have had bad comments, but on the other hand excellent comments from people who have owned Citroens. With me not owning one in the past i do not feel i can judge like friends/family have. Really looking forward to collecting tomorrow. Although my loved fiesta is going im excited for the C3...
