CITROEN C1 2014 FULL REVIEW - CAR & DRIVING

[@andyhowlett2231]

I recently took a break from driving as the constant anti-motorist measures and the annual MOT/Tax/Insurance/servicing dance was getting annoying. But after 7 months the downsides of not having a car began to irk us a bit, so we bought a used (2016) C1 puretech Flair 82 hp. Impressed! OK, it's fairly basic after our Picanto Turbo, but it's nice to drive and Citroen's own 1.2 litre engine pulls amazingly well even from low revs. It rarely feels short of power. The clutch biting point is a bit high, which sometimes makes me 'kangaroo' a bit and the lack of parking sensors is annoying (although it has a camera), but neither of these is a deal-breaker. We chose a three-door one as we always think small cars look better without the extra 2 doors crammed in. Ours is all black and looks really good when it's polished-up. Great review.

I've owned a C1 for 3 years and this review is spot on. It's a great little car and the resale value has improved over the years especially since Citroen stopped making them. The engine sound and handling are my favourite aspects, additionally the fun looks, economy and touch screen are outstanding for a small car.

Watching this in 2024 this is a very enjoyable video which more or less has it all in a nutshell.

Excellent review - only spoilt by the advertising band across the lower 3rd of the screen whih can block out part of what is being discussed - the hatch & the lights sometimes for example.

I've just got rid of my MK1 5 door and have been considering a mk2 3 door -- I think this video has shown me not to bother. it's a shame, because the longer front doors are a bit sportier looking, especially on the cars in a two-tone finish.

Wow! I think I just watched "Citroen C1..The Movie"

Had to stop watching because the banner across the bottom of the screen is very distracting. Please take it off after 30seconds or so otherwise I think you will loose viewers/ subscribers
