Citroen C3 2017 launch review | Mat Watson Reviews

[@CheekyCultured]

To be honest, I rlly like the looks of both the C4 Catus and the C3, am I the only one here?

[@MikevanLieshout]

Like it a lot, hopefully they will sell well :D

[@haihohh7394]

Yin Cheung Lau of course you're not the only one :D

[@utubeleplague]

I see loads of them everyday and the number seems to be rapidly increasing too. I guess Citroen must be proud with this new design they made for their new cars, they were getting a tad boring and germany-ish the gen before.

[@MotorTorq_ZA]

No no you’re not the only one I like them too

[@samkeegans7238]

Same

[@saNjan1CE]

that sarcasm about the bright door inserts XD

[@gamingwithme9038]

Lol

[@Commentator541]

I own a car with light interior and this is one thing I always look for in a car. Also, plastics not being "soft touch" makes them more hard wearing and easier to clean. Also, rear windows that don't go all the way down are good for protecting children from putting their arms out the window. But, the styling is over-designed, especially from the outside, and while the touchscreen looks nice, having climate controls integrated into is just not good.

[@cjp9596]

saNjan1CE Don't think it was entirely necessary because this is an example of Citroen trying to solve an actual problem - people lose things in door bins because they're dark. What Matt failed to mention is that these paler door bins highlight items more easily after dark.

[@saNjan1CE]

CJ P yes I agree with that and its quite considerate of Citroen. I just found his sarcasm a lil amusing. I do admire this latest C3 !

[@saNjan1CE]

Commentator541 you do make some valid points. I see that its easier to live with, having hard and bright plastics. Thank you.

[@nickolastiguan]

I find the design very cool (most of the new French cars are), especially when compared to what we have here in North America.

[@haihohh7394]

don't worry, the French are already coming back to US soil by setting up car rental company in Los Angeles

[@tonkasergej6677]

I love design of American Cars but unfortunately i don't trust them they are Expensive here in Bosnia and hard to find parts (except Ford's they make those in Germany) however I think Japanese and Europeans (especially Germans) make best cars.

[@FLRSKLVR]

I really like this one, much better than the current C3.

[@razotevs88]

Such a funky car. Citroën really is a bold company ready to make risks so that makes them a rare breed in the car industry. It certainly has a lot of character. The thing is there are always some compromises we have to make so this one ticks many boxes. It seems that Citroën philosophy also hit @matwatson so his videos like this one certainly bring a very welcome refresh in car reviewing. He is even able to entertain us apart from just telling us what the car is like.

[@caesargabrielma59]

No dogs were harmed during the making of this video :))

[@palusisko]

I am tired from all the "sporty" small cars, for me the new C3 is excellet small car for people looking for comfortable fun car! Thank you Citroen! :-)

[@g00dfeeling]

C3 is definitely the best in class right now.

[@alxactly]

g00dfeeling ehhhmmm no it isn't.

[@waelmkaouar396]

MRsjovealek Mazda 2 waaaaay more expensive and consumes waaaaay more than C3

[@waelmkaouar396]

MRsjovealek Actually it is just Renault that ruins french cars reputation. PSA group is just fine.

[@tomheard7844]

MRsjovealek what do you drive then a Nissan micra 😂 there's nothing wrong with PSA I have always liked them and never had any problems

[@tomheard7844]

MRsjovealek Mazda is shit 😂😂

[@danielalcina817]

Love Citroën, I wish they made a car for the luxury segment.

[@appelpower1]

DS? As long as we don't get a C6 successor, they can piss off for all I care...

[@scoopermg8226]

appelpower1 Hydropneumatic suspension has been dropped for the future. Can't buy a C5 in the UK any longer.

[@appelpower1]

Scooper MG They're apparently coming up with something new for the new C5. As long as they'll fit it on a massive, stylish limo, it's fine by me.

[@ObiWanKeighobi]

www.dsautomobiles.com

[@dianafm8866]

daniel alcina They did. DS

[@d0718]

I like the voting thing :) use it more often!

[@shadowaveness]

What if the cable was white? haha then you'd pray the doorbin was black

[@AMBLloyd]

Please bring back the five annoying things / five cool things.

[@carwow]

+Lloydie's Amble okay. So that is a different format. And it continues with the normal reviews UK right hand drive cara. This is a different style of review for new car launches, left hand drive cars.

[@dmbdwsm]

I think in that case you should call it "overview" , just a thought! :D

[@carwow]

Everyone has a blumin opinion don't they... Only kidding. Feedback always welcome. This is your channel after all.

[@AMBLloyd]

carwow Fair enough, I just wasn't sure if this new format was replacing the old one.

[@pauljonah1139]

This isnt the type of car I would normally go for....but theres something about this model that I really like... so much so I have just ordered one in pearla black with sport red roof and some extras such as light pack, sound system etc. Cheers for the review. its honest and useful. I always lose my usb cable in the car and your piss take of the door bins not being black made me chuckle... So I just have to wait until july when it gets delivered :-) Cheers

[@minacrete7267]

I just ordered it!! Is awesome!! I can't wait to see this beauty!!!

[@jeffwoodcock15]

Love the look of it and I would buy another Citroen. Currently have a 5 yr old C3 Picasso from new with no problems.

[@maverickbonato8164]

Great new format! Before i stopped halfway but now I easly watched the whole video, pretty intresting car too :-)

[@ronin373]

2:07 That obsession with rectangles 😂

[@leleedler]

As an American I would say that the C4 and C3 look a little bit like a new Jeep Cherokee with the headlight situation.

[@damianodefiore9337]

Le Leedler the design of the headlights is Citroën, not Jeep. Citroën introduced it first with the C4 Picasso.

[@leleedler]

Damiano De Fiore Yeah, I am aware, I am saying it looks a little like the Jeep.

[@Silverwarhawk]

in a few years all American cars would come with "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" as a design feature as standard on the grill of the cars

[@leleedler]

Boeing AH-64 Apache Helicopter I hope not.

[@ralphpanhuyzen7861]

2:10 "rectangles" LOL, luvved the little pause!

[@ruzzelladrian907]

The design is very beautiful. Citröen's attempt at being unique and innovative really payed off, because not a lot of manufacturers can pull off chic and unique without looking ugly. Many have failed and ended up with hideous cars for the sake of " uniqueness ", but not Citröen.

[@tarassu]

Citroen also wants to join the club "vehicles with frontal cameras". They found no other function beside dashcam. Good enough I would say. Even Tesla doesn't do that.

[@danh4787]

Thank you, i bought this car after i saw your review, i wasn't too sure about this car, but i loved the way you described it. thank you again, and make more and more, because i bet there are a lot like me out there .

[@gabrielfranco2514]

This is the dream car of lots of people in my country

[@Concerncitizenoftheworld]

I wish I could buy the new Citroen C3 in the U.S.

[@leleedler]

I would also love to own some French cars here in the US.

[@stephen10.]

Renault, peugeot -citroen will return in some years with the brand DS and Alpine.

[@leleedler]

stephen10 Yup, I heard.

[@pierrephilosophale2952]

you know you can buy one in Mexico ! :)

[@leleedler]

Pierrot DMC12 Le Normand No, you can't import non us cars into the US. Unless the same model exists here. If a car is over 25 years old it can be imported though.

[@vonKartoffel]

Any Updates on your Porsche 996?

[@carwow]

+TheTrueLPG will be filming one next week - seeing if I can get the bloody dent out!

[@MarushDenchev]

We want to see the fucking dent out!

[@simon199418]

any updates on the dog?

[@PeteTheL337]

I went for the diesel version and have also driven the petrol version of this( both from 2019) and to me the Diesel is way less noisy as in ALOT less, also everyone that i've talked to feels the same way that the diesel just have more go in it. My last long trip of around 450km of motorway had the cars fuel economy at around 30km/L which is just lovely in the current crazy times of 2022.

[@moularyves2]

finally someone doing built-in dash cam genius

[@Raptorel]

2:25 left a scratch

[@djowsvideos]

Looks nice and different. =)

[@sbomorse]

They're not rectangles... They're 'squircles' from the Panda!

[@carwow]

Did you know that Steve Jobs loved rectangles with rounded corners? True. Look at the shape of an iphone or any window on a Mac!

[@debramcnicholl3956]

I have the C1 4 seater urbanride it's been a great little car not had any problems with it but up grading to the C3

[@Chelsea-qk4qq]

This guy made me crack up during the whole video, love it 😂

[@stefaki9481]

I drive the c3 for 13 years now..very nice car ,my next car is also the new c3 !love them

[@markorollo.]

another situation of people getting bored and just doing a re design for something to do (like nissan and the new micra) loved the previous design, a couple of family members have it. it stood out, this just looks like any other car of its type.

[@lordrefrigeratorintercoole288]

finaly a nice looking citroen... the cactus looms good on video, in RL in horrendous...

[@DanielVSL]

One of the best reviews you've made.

[@simplyyourtube]

Wow Matt these cover photos for these reviews are certainly getting epic!! Check out that view.

[@coastaku1954]

It may be 2 years old, but it looks way better than the 2020 American Cars over here in NA. Luckily Peugeot and Citroen are coming over here in 2021 so we will have these killer designs~

[@Andy2x4]

Hi Matt, while you're on the page of French cars, think you can do a review of the new 2017 Peugeot 3008?! Thanks!!

[@carwow]

+Andrew R coming on weds

[@ktg6548]

+carwow can you do a review on the Audi A3 SE please that would help I'm thinking of buying it

[@ELPORTEROTV]

I like the new review format 👍👍👍

[@polishnetfreak]

Great video, enjoyed it as usual. I like your sense of humor with that dash of sarcasm :)

[@Lisbonese]

I think it looks a bit weird, a tad bit too Jeep Cherokee.

[@nickolastiguan]

agree, but i think the C3 looks better =)

[@graeme66]

C3 looks cool and it’s different to what everyone else has

[@williamskissiedu5797]

This advertiser is very knowledgeable and has convinced me, a very good advertiser, I am fully convinced to buy one of this car. the advertiser has explained the make-up of the vehicle so well that I have been able to make the decision that this is the car I have been looking for.

[@tibortatrai2318]

I like it, or to be honest I like one feature in it. The built in dash cam,. All the cars should have it!

[@GeorgeW666]

Mat you're getting more and more like Father Dougal every day, especially at 3:45 lol

[@GeorgeW666]

Ted! Your forgot your brick!!!

[@LifeOfNathan]

Inside looks as through it's been inspired by 70s interior design. Kind of like it, apart from the materials used!

[@toburn1]

I hope the random dog is fine

[@carwow]

The random dog was absolutely fine. He must've been using a previous-generation Citroen sat-nav.

[@tolgaakyay]

I bought one yesterday :)

[@xBuzz996]

hahahahahahah love this review, not because of the car, because of Mat being hilariously sarcastic

[@Drew-gi5yb]

i would love to see sports car being reviewed :D on this channel by Mr.Watson

[@cjp9596]

The AX and the Saxo should be the other way around at the start. Come on, who isn't picking up on this!

[@51StPi]

No picture of a GS from 40 years ago either, 95mph from a flat four 1 litre and all round self levelling suspension, oh the boot floor was flat with no sill either.

[@itsaddietubeTV]

I am getting this exact colour and model can’t wait 😇😭

[@Birdie_]

I don't like the design decisions. It looks contrived, different for the sake of being different.

[@Mossboy16]

Love the thumbnail!

[@JYMAHJAMES]

They literally edited him in from the C class thumbnail haha

[@d0718]

4:43 I'm going to hell for laughing hard at this :D

[@aliciab.4214]

love this review! it certainly made me giggle in front of my PC at 2:57am :)

[@GandyGamingHD]

I prefer the layout of the C Class convertible video instead of this new layout. Unless you do this layout but in order, just seems a bit all over the place, otherwise a great review as per, Mat!

[@1seipai]

Excellent review as always

[@SnakeyUk08]

"Personally id go for the Feel ,because sometimes all you need is a good feel" lmao "Oooh matron!!" haha :)

[@AdvaitThakur]

Yes the grill looks like Cyclopes. It just looks like Renault Kwid if one observes the side and rear.

[@Lanpenn]

The new C3's really interesting... I hope Citroën of Brazil bring the new car from Porto Real to us... Matt, do you know if the previous C3's (1st and 2nd gen) have also reliability problems with electrics?

[@livc444111]

Felipe Lange 1st gen had issues throughout its lifespan, the 2nd is much much improved

[@fishyglue]

Holy sh!t Mat i noticed that this car is left hand drive only at 4:25 Love your reviews so much!

[@carwow]

It was on the launch of the car so not a British car. Still, bigger glovebox… not that we're bitter

[@vivderry298]

I have this car in diesel, happy with it , only snag is the sun visors are not long enough, blinded by the sun “

[@loganjones1672]

Is there a review of the new Peugeot 3008 on the way?

[@carwow]

Aye.

[@roblex63]

poor camera man must be soaked...

[@carwow]

+roblex63 he was

[@MW-uh1xv]

driving behind a dog was not the best. Most people would stop and see if the dog could be caught and out of danger.

[@callumfreebairn8082]

is it cheaper without the airbumps mat?

[@callumfreebairn8082]

it's the best in it's class

[@mandrohz5598]

Hi Change your camera filming in the car. There is a distortion. And the presentor loooks diffrent then when he is standing out of the car

[@snow_cornice7086]

I hope you make another mazda cx3 review to see whats changed ! Its been long time since you made it in carbuyer .

[@rylenhyron]

I wonder how does this compare to the Hyundai i10 2017? The i10 was one of the best in 2014-15. Hopefully you will get to review that one as well.

[@Kaphexx]

Ohh that opening iPad joke is missing! U forgot to take your tablet to France Mat? :)

[@mariobarros5888]

i dont really like cintroens but this one is really nice ... well done citroen

[@lungulet]

Superb review! :)

[@franciscolozano636]

Matt can you please do a suzuki baleno review? Great video!

[@motoscribe4111]

Why do you have different channels for the same cars? Please explain.

[@iot1452]

My sister plans to lease a C4 cactus as they're pretty reasonably priced and she needs a car only for short commutes to the hospital or the supermarket. It's going to be her first car in Britain (though she used to drive before emigrating to Britain). Which would be better for a 'first time driver' in a new country, the C3 or the C4.

[@BoschExxcel]

®ioT Sounds like a good choice. Was she familiar with Citroen in her home country then?

[@ast5515]

First car for a woman? Buy the cheapest thing you can get so that it doesn't hurt when she crashes it. Just kidding :)

[@heisenberg3139]

nice Review, well done!

[@FLRSKLVR]

Were you struggling with the left hand drive?

[@MrEolicus]

At around 6:50 your line 'random dog' sounded eerily like 'run down dog'... which is just bad. Anyway, another useful review. Cheers.

[@carwow]

+Eolicus no. I love dogs. It ran off to safety.

[@Le_Rennais]

did you need to write it 4 times ?

[@carwow]

+cacaaleau Studio app meltdown sometimes causes this.

[@heyfrossty8336]

You need to do more vlogs!

[@xharrisony]

I had an old c3 from 2005 and it was rubbish so I got an Astra but I WANT THAT!!!

[@mister_jon_jon]

Good review! Can you make one on the new Abart 595 turismo?

[@rageduh9701]

You can only get the coloured roof and the air bumps in the top version only 😒

[@fredsamoluk21]

What's better this, or the cactus?

[@kannan_a2]

Where are the worst and best 5 features.. I like that way of review.. It's quite funny 😀

[@IceFish.]

I lost my bank card recently then i found it in the pitch black door holder after i had cancelled it """""#

[@Hmmmppffff]

Oh my god, he drove over the dog :O heheheh

[@zeus-io3hn]

worth it to subscribe. so mate can i ask how reliable citroen? honestly.

[@callumfreebairn8082]

just like toyota's obsessed with diamonds in their c-hr

[@JennyRosengren]

I LOVE IT and I WANT ONE NOW!

[@olaalmalky8032]

Which one is better ? This car or nissan tiida 2017

[@Robomatix]

the commercials say 36 combinations

[@ItsMeKriz]

Can you please review the new clio rs?!?! i can test drive it as im under 24 and im stuck between the clio rs w/ akrapovic exhaust and the 208 gti prestige -_-

[@mountsnowdon78]

if you like glove boxes, why not just switch to right side driving?

[@junkoyoshida1294]

please do a review of 2016 civic

[@smudgletheblog]

Looks like a reworked Renault Kwid. Just more stylized.

[@musadliso]

enjoyed this video

[@ukaszmajcher2868]

I want him
