Citroen manuals

Citroen earned a reputation for innovation and revolutionary engineering, which is reflected in the company's slogan "Creative Technologie". Its history of innovation began with its founding, when Andre Citroen introduced the first industrial mass production of vehicles outside the United States, a technique he developed while mass-producing armaments for the French military in World War I. Although known for their reliability, Citroen cars failed to meet the design tendencies at some point , conservatism that lead to a drastic decrease in sales. However, the effect was countered later at the beginning of the 90's when Citroen models took rounder and smoother shapes. New models and reinvention of older ones have assured the company's success so far and the brand is still regarded to be a purveyor of fine vehicles for over 75 years.

Manuals for Citroen cars:

Citroen C3 The C3 offers plenty of style and the most comfort of any car in the supermini class, Ford Fiesta and VW Polo included. The C3 hatchback comes as a five-door only and all C3s except the basic version have a panoramic windscreen, which stretches back into the roof. The C3 doesn’t handle as well as the Fiesta, and rear seat space is tight, but the interior quality is a huge step up from the last C3. The Airdream+ diesel is especially economical, returning 74.3mpg, but the best mix of value and performance is had from C3 VTR+ with the 1.4-litre petrol engine.
Citroen C4 The Citroen C4 Picasso is a brilliant people carrier that comes in two versions. The normal Picasso has space for five, while the longer Grand Picasso is a seven-seater with two extra chairs that fold out of the boot floor. Both versions are extremely practical, with lots of storage space, comfortable seats and big boots. The C4 Picasso has a well-built interior that features lots of standard equipment, even on the basic VTR model. Diesel engines are best if you travel long distances, as the petrol engines use much more fuel.
Citroën C5 The C5 helped re-establish Citroen's credentials as a maker of quality cars. The interior, which features lots of standard equipment, was the best for quality and luxury ever seen in a Citroen when the car launched in 2008. The C5 is also very spacious and comfortable, and beats the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Insignia for the smoothness of its suspension and ride. The C5 is available as a saloon or Tourer estate. Both offer stylish looks and plenty of space, and are very relaxing to drive.
Citroën DS3 The DS3 is the first of Citroen's luxury cars which accompany its regular ranges. But unlike the C3 on which it's based, the DS3 is much more fun to drive, with a very agile chassis, excellent handling and a great 1.6-litre turbo engine in the top of the range car. But thanks to its humble origins, the DS3 is also very cheap to run. The interior is well made too, feeling very high quality and featuring plenty of standard kit. Buyers can also personalise their cars, choosing from lots of paint and trim combinations.
