I'd vinyl wrap it if I had one, a dark metallic red or something, I'm around your parents age so good on them for getting one.

[@Driven247]

I will tell them this, not a bad idea and assuming a wrap would stick to this plastic as its not really smooth...thanks Paul!

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..

Ive seen these things in France and they definitely make sense in certain circumstances, handy for nipping around short distances, its a pity they're so heavily speed limited though, i think they're gas pure little character of it

[@chrisspain]

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.

[@Driven247]

Thanks for sharing. Oh the looks the car gets is obviously a bonus, they bought the car for other reasons one being that it’s electric! That’s cool you use the Ami more then! Thanks for watching and for your comment!

[@georgebathgate3974]

Another great video. The wee Citroen looks funky

[@Driven247]

Thanks. I’ve done another Ami video since, check it out ha ha! Thanks George!

[@thorbjrnhellehaven5766]

I want one, but I probably won't until my daughter can start training for her license. My main concern s about charging when it's really cold, because we would want to use it even the few weeks/days when it's -5 °C and colder outside.

[@Driven247]

Thanks for watching and your comment. Interesting to see if the cold effects my parents car when charging then…

[@pdtech4524]

What a brilliant little car! Gets more attention than a lambo! 😁⚠️ I like the 'dress up kit', those orange design details make a huge difference to personalise it and make it a but more unique. Needs some decals next!! 😁👍 Happy New Year 👍

[@trolleyob]

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.

[@Driven247]

If only they had made them just a little faster, so 40-50mph! But sounds an interesting tweak…thanks for watching!

[@Urbanspacefox]

Yeah I get that 28MPH is the max speed allowed in the AM licence (the target market in France naturally) At least an ‘ami +’ option would be an idea though… like how the Renault Twizy came out on the continent with two powertrain options…

[@CarsofGlasgow]

congratulations, the Ami is super fun!! I recently filmed one for my channel.

[@mindcrafte]

Loved the video. There is a Matchbox die cast version of this car you have to get for your parents. That's how I found out about it this model of car as never heard of it before. Looking forward to the other vids on this as curious to learn more about it. I own a Abarth 595 Comp, so not a fan of electric cars, but at least Citroen as usual make quirky cars and they have done it with this AMI as well

[@Driven247]

I saw one of these recently when I went to a customer of mine who is a motoring journalist. He had been loaned the car for evaluation. He said it was very different. Anyway, just as well you were in the Type R, or you would never have been able to keep up with them.
