Citroën C1 (2005 - 2014) 1.4 HDi Rhythm 5d (2006/56) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I suppose it says I'm not ashamed to drive a small economical fun car

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

Conversations only ever come up over fuel prices and mine costs less to fill! People say isn't it hard to carry big loads etc but I reckon 0.01% of journeys don't justify buying big.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes I would because its good value for money - cheap to both buy and run.

What are you likely to buy next?

I'll keep it a while - I bought the diesel deliberately as a long term car. If I bought again now I guess I'd go for the same again but then if I were only keeping a few years it'd be the petrol model.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

December 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

Good deal, Citroen quite good at discounting I guess

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted something economical

What was the dealer like?

Friendly dealer

What's it like to drive?

Grips road well despite thin tyres. Cruises nicely on motorway, engine bit lumpy at 40ish sometimes.

What's it like to park?

Perfect, you can park at the back of spaces and annoy people who think the space is empty

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing

What's most practical about your car?

Size and economy

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Love the way the back doors come to the corner pillar - fools friends who keep thinking its a 3 door!
