2 guys in Nice have one on KZbin been so many places in their Ami. They bought a stick on rear vision mirror off Amazon recommend it driving around busy areas .. Is a sun shade for the Glass roof apparently when it's warm weather .. Going to save your lovely parents alot of money on fuel to the shops and supermarket chemist post office etc they do hold quite a few grocery bags in the front of passenger seat and behind driver seat I've seen on other KZbin citreon Ami Vlogs. Happy New year..

Tesla Model 3 driver here. I got one of these for my granddaughter. She now uses the Tesla, as I have so much fun with this thing, that I use it all the time. It is city transport, what I do (and she) but with this, you never have a parking issue, you can charge it really anywhere, runs basically for free. However, here in Spain we use the car for transport and not for the looks we are getting. I could not care less what people think if the thing is suited for my needs. I think I might get a second one and get rid of the Tesla, for the three times a year I need a "real" car I could rent one.

Apparently, all it takes to give an Ami a top speed of 50mph + is to tweak the software- In this country it needs to be able to keep up with the urban traffic flow and 28mph is dangerously slow on our narrow roads.
