Which car should I buy? Please help me decide!

Either this weekend or next I am going to treat myself to a new car. I have narrowed it down to two cars....Citreon c3 pluriel which is this one

http://www.acperkovic.hr/modeli/citr...c3-pluriel.jpg

Its really nice..and the top folds down so its a convertible! Remember I live in Newcastle though! Here it is with the top down:

The other option is the C2 which is here:

Its really smart but a canny bit smaller inside.

So which one do you folks like best?!

You obviously think designing power stations pays better than it does!!...Think I might need a little while to save up for one of those

I would go for the C2 for two reasons.

1st reason, its a girlie car so would suit you well and .......

2nd As you haven't got a lot of friends, why do you need a bigger c3

No actually, I have a smart car..................

But seriously, I would choose the C2, they look more sporty and they are a great, fun motor.

The c3, in my opinion are not as much fun to drive.

Id be well happy driving a c2.

I'd go for the soft-top version of the C3 Pluriel. If you go to a soft-top option, you might never go back to a hard top car!

It's quite nice on cold but sunny days for short periods of time (wear a thick fleece/jacket and turn the car heating onto full, though!) to have the top down, but on the rare summer days in the North of the UK, you'll love it!

Soft tops do possibly have a slight caveat of insurance premiums being higher than the hard-top version, but security may be better on the soft-tops than when I once had one...!

I just like the idea of the soft top....ahhhh I cant decide! The C2 was really nice but it seemed a bit cramped.
Gonna test drive them both again at the weekend

Ive checked with my insurance company and it stays the same as it is now. Ive always fancied a soft top and this ones a bit unique which is what I like about it. You canm keep the roll bars on the top so it looks like a little moon buggy!! or you can take them off so its a full convertible

Craig, take some friends you trust with you, then I'm sure you'll come to the right decision!
