Of course if you sell your car every 2 or 3 years its the next owner who will pay for these long service intervals.

As for the parts I think it is valid to compare the euro fez to the euro barina, the c3 is in a different class isn't it?
Well 15,000kms is becoming the norm. I do believe my cousin's Citroen C2 VTR has the same service interval.

And yes, Hondas are extremely expensive to service. Hence my parents no longer service them with Honda since the warranty ran out.
