Citroën C1 (2005 - 2014) 1.0i VT 5d (2010/10) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I'm a new driver and I can't afford stupid cost of insurance for a 17 yearold.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Does the job, nothing special.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No. Too small and slow, I'm older now so insurance isn't so much of a joke.

What are you likely to buy next?

Toyota supra or Nissan 350z.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£3,000

When did you buy the car?

February 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Ok deal - garrentee on all parts if serviced with for one year + alloy wheels for free.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Cheap on insurance.

What was the dealer like?

Tried to rip me off when I took it to be serviced with them, saying the alloys they fitted were unsafe on the car and I needed new wheels, when really all they needed was a spacer they forgot to fit.

What's it like to drive?

Feels like a go cart, fairly nippy with only one person in the car, struggles with 4.

What's it like to park?

Easy - it's tiny and visibility it good.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing, wheels are susceptible to sidewall punctures if you live in the middle of the country like me.

What's most practical about your car?

Fold the seats down and it turns into a van big enough to move all my stuff to uni and back.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Aux socket + iPod mount on windscreen.
