The towing limit is exceeded by 400 kg!
It is not allowed to drive with this Adria. Make sure the towing limit is correct.
We now give advice based on the assumption that the legal maximum towing weight is higher for your car and that the car should be allowed to tow this caravan!
The Citroen C3 BlueHDi 100 with a Adria Action 361 LH with an actual weight of 1000 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Citroen is in general more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Adria with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is good.

Performance
The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 176 points).
Speeds of 65 mph (105 km/h) to 72 mph (116 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is sufficient power at low engine speeds (score to compare 199 points).
Slightly higher revs (1700 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 24.6 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 180 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 15%, but do require some experience from the driver.
On motorway inclines higher revs (3000 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 56 mph (90 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit is exceeded by 400 kg (check this in your vehicle documents).
If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 73%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 86%.
The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
Recommended noseweight is 50 - 65 kg.
Towball limit is 32 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
Stability and safety score to compare is 184 points.
If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.
Conclusion
Performance is more than sufficient.
Safe driving is possible.
It's a perfect match!
Influence of User Payload on stability
Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.
