Citroen's all-electric e-C3 is the perfect car to take your about town in comfort

DO YOU always do what your car tells you?

- BY MAGGIE BARRY

I got into the new all-electric Citroen e-C3 and was tickled to read a little red tab on my door handle which said "Have Fun".

On closer inspection I discovered other messages on the rest of the doors, "Feel Good", "Be Cool", "Be Happy" and I wondered if, like in Lapland, there were lots of Citroen gnomes thinking up and stitching positive messages on to doors.

There is nothing like a little smile to pick you up when you get into a car especially when, as on this day, the rain was lashing down.

Now the e-C3 is Citroen's supermini so I was apprehensive about how a small car like this would cope with the deluge of water now sweeping across the motorway - but I was pleasantly surprised.
