As a nation we like a bit of grief. Hand wringing sometimes seems to be a national pastime. Those looking forward to getting all dewy-eyed and nostalgic over the passing of Citroen's massively successful Saxo model weren't given much of an opportunity to get the black armbands on. With the launch of the C2 model in September 2003, Citroen showed that it was straight back with its 'A' game. Used examples are currently doing the round at very attractive prices.

About the Citroen C2

While the C3 has done good business for Citroen but failed to really capture the public's imagination, the C2 rectified that with some very encouraging sales figures and a strong product range. As a used buy we'd lean towards a 1.4-litre diesel or the C2 GT, although when greater quantities of VTS models land in the used arena this will be a difficult car to resist.

Representative finance example

If your borrow amount is £7,000 with a deposit of £1,000, a selected term of 48 months, at a representative APR of 17.9% (fixed) and an annual fixed interest rate of 17.9%, you would pay £171.83 per month. Total charge for credit would be £2,247.84 and total amount repayable is £8,247.84.
