The Citroen C2 began production in 2003 as a replacement for the Citroen Saxo. With sleek styling and a smaller body, Citroen aimed squarely at the youth market with this car, and the market responded. The car was awarded four out of five possible stars by the Euro NCAP (New Car Assessment Programme) for safety. With a very reasonable sticker price, especially for the entry-level models, the combination of form and function makes both new and secondhand Citroen C2s a popular purchase.
The original Citroen C2 cars were entry-level vehicles without much in the way of trim. Standard black plastic bumpers and door handles, no fog lights, and a Spartan interior kept the price low, but turned away some buyers due to its obvious lack of creature comforts. The super-mini, three-door hatchback became popular with those looking for an economical vehicle, and the fact that it got a combined average of nearly 48 mpg was an added incentive toward purchase. The C2 won the Best European Hatchback' award in 2003 for its combination of agility and excellent fuel economy.
