Any thoughts on these? I have always had autos to sell but only ever had one French auto and really got my fingers burnt. This is 1.6 chap has to p/x against a Mini Cooper s 2016.

Not sure whether they would be perceived as a little underpowered?

"but only ever had one French auto and really got my fingers burnt."

A scenic? The valve chests were notorious for failing.

Or a PSA EGS semi auto? 

If the C3 is low mileage go for it. There is high demand for small autos from the elderly.

Boxes are ok, the stuff that works them can be a little dicy but no huge expense. That said, a small auto ticks a lot of boxes. Get the deal done.

A 9 year old French hatchback is hardly a major financial decision is it!?!!!

As long as the margin from the Mini washes the PX's face - go for it - you've little ot nothing to lose.

1.6 is a big engine in a small car mind.

Have sold hundreds of french autos with little issues.  

However, I had a box let go in one exactly the same as yours a couple of years ago.  Is unusual though in my experience and I was lucky enough to find a guaranteed second hand one for not a lot of money.  

I'd sooner a French auto box (and a French car over a German car in general) over a German one anyway -maybe with the exception of that EGS Box in the Picassos- just because they drive horrid IMHO.
