Citrobn's party piece is building small, fun hatchbacks, and the removal of the rear seats on the C2 has had little effect on this attribute.
Around town, the C2 is a breeze to drive, with quick, accurate steering and a perky engine that allows rapid progress, white on faster roads it behaves with a surprising amount of decorum, which belies its small hatchback dimensions.
There's also an accommodating cabin and a practical load area that's helped by a split tailgate something the 'big two' can't boast.
On the money front, its thrifty on the fuel, as well as being about a grand cheaper (before potential discounts) than the 'big two'.
At this price range, that's the equivalent to a one-eighth price reduction.
In terms of performance, however, the car-derived hatchback equilibrium won't be upset by Cit men's little pretender. Ford and Vauxhall can sit safe in their top positions.
Despite how this diminutive Citroen handles itself, it still falls just short of crashing the exclusive party, but not by much. However, the Citrobn C2 Enterprise is worth considering if you fancy trying something a bit different.
