Product Overview

Citroen C3 Pluriel is an entry-level subcompact convertible in production from 2003 to 2010. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.1 to 1.6 liters.
Based on the Citroen C3, the Pluriel can offer three ways of open-top driving: 1. with the sliding soft top open like a landulet, 2. with the back window folded as a fixed profile convertible, or 3. with the roof side rails removed as a full convertible.
Unfortunately, the car is exceptionally ugly. Its engines are lethargic and rough, and its suspension unrefined. These issues hamper its ability to be used for driving enjoyment.
