My C3 is (brand)new. I chose it over second hand because:
- Cheap (I got the 11090 chf low-spec version). Cheaper than a second hand kitted out high-spec (typical for CH) version.
- Modern fuel efficient engine. Low hp power for using less fuel. NOT a direct injection with all its carbon-on-intake-valves problems and particle emissions filter.
- Lets kit uses less fuel. No airconditioning (no radio either), so no need to run the airco during the winter just to keep it from breaking. Also because of no kit the vehicle weighs about 100kg less than the mid-spec.
