Perfect time of the year to be launching a car with no doors...

[@TheDripSpotter]

Masterful- typical Vichy.

[@Dreadpirateflappy]

it's not a car...

[@benholroyd5221]

@@Dreadpirateflappy from a legal point of view in this territory, no. From the point of view of the definition of a car, it is.

[@Geshmaal]

Just wear your waterproofs, you'd get wet walking between your car and the shop anyway!

[@remipersonne1375]

Initially, the ami buggy is a limited edition to 50 copies sold from July 2022 only in France. The 2nd series sold out in March 2023 so it was ready in time for summer :)

[@wayneheyes904]

Well I’m wales this will sell in numbers now there at a 20mph zones

[@triodekt66]

Here in the United States, particularly in Florida we call these “golf carts” 😝😝😝

[@markbennett9787]

In France, where I live, the VSP ( voiture sans permis) is a well established mode of transport for those who for one reason or other don’t have a driving licence. The ICE vehicles are made by several manufacturers and can be driven on the road from the age of 14. The Citroën Ami is nothing more than an electric VSP and can only be regarded as a toy outside the market it is designed for.

[@toyotaprius79]

Unfortunately Stellantis is treating it like a toy too. It needs to be more like it's namesake The Renault Twizy outperforms it (80kmh & airbag) costs the same and regrettably hasn't changed since 2011 The cheapest chinese EVs would wipe the floor of all European heavy quadricycles

[@torval39]

One step up from a mobility scooter.

[@krisg.4257]

The Microlino is as loveable 😁

[@iandavidson99]

I have a Twizy and LOVE it! There's nothing this does better than the Twizy and the Twizy did it 10 years earlier.

[@thelivingdodo2]

Perfect car if you live in Wales! 😂

[@BN1960]

If there's an airbag on the steering wheel and you're using that yellow bag and the airbag deploys - you've got a Claymore!

[@clanmac66]

Ner, spend £10k on a decent Smart fortwo petrol convertible. Use it all year round and can even go on motorways for long journeys.

[@aye3678]

Lol, they're taking the piss with the pricing.

[@freenando75]

when doing this videos, and knowing they will be seen by an international audience , can you please also put the metric sistem in? thank you! this videos deserve it

[@theshankman8682]

if they added a trunk in the back and a plow attachment in the front this design could be good enough to work as a UTV but without off road capability

[@stephenclay6852]

Can you get a set of golf clubs in it. Drive to the course play a round and drive back. Brilliant.

[@toyotaprius79]

If the golf club replaces their golf carts with em

[@rasherbasher8203]

Remember the fiat version coming next year.. the same product but with slightly better styling and costs more.

[@mumwifeteacher]

Basically a 4 wheel e-bike with a roof at 5 times the cost

Alright on a golf course.

[@sirgaymeerkat1994]

possibly the car london needs with all the narrow roads TFL has designed! the UK should follow France and allow 14 year old to drive one with a provisional licence.

[@philipmarlowe4682]

So you are saying traffic for London has designed the whole of the roads in the UK. Silly statement

[@sirgaymeerkat1994]

@philipmarlowe4682 Learn to read!

[@sq1rlsqu4d]

@@philipmarlowe4682 How the hell did you make the leap from "possibly the car London needs" to "London has designed the whole of the roads in the UK"? Silly person.

[@TL-xw6fh]

These roads are narrow because when the Romans first build London, there are no cars. The Victorians simply "cut and paste" the formula. TFL has no choice but continue unless they knock down the buildings or we invite Putin to bomb London so that we can rebuild (just like Hitler did with French cities, and the Americans/British did with German cities).

[@dd-dd2co]

Who the hell in their right frame of mind would want car" with no doors?!

[@michaelGarvey6587]

The only place this range makes sense is in London 20mph zone.. if they fixed the potholes and removed speed bumps

[@philipmarlowe4682]

Could I ask, What's the point?

[@Dreadpirateflappy]

it's a quadricycle. basically a moped with a frame... so safer in a crash and keeps you dryer (especially the one with doors) and gives you a place to store things.

[@tylercarter5837]

@@Dreadpirateflappy so i could drive this with a cbt and and not pass my full licence

[@tommybedits]

its a shame it doesnt have a mount for a golff bag

[@draigaur9543]

Look’s easy to turn over

[@David-Dumont]

An 8 hp off-roadet what the heck?!

[@izidrew]

But why, 28mph where I live is Germany is trouble, in town you need to keep with the traffic and 45 kilometers per hour it wont do.

[@frostreaper1607]

Same issue in Belgium really, roads are usually 50 or 70 Kmph with only roads that are center in city/town or near schools to be 30. I love the form factor of these Ami like 'cars' but the restriction on speed has made go for a regular car license.

[@Ppp-kk6hw]

I like it but would need doors as I live in the UK and it's raining as I write this? Why don't citroen just make more ?

[@TG-pd3ft]

Golf buggy.

[@toyotaprius79]

A change in flavour is not enough. Fashion accessories is not what's needed yesterday. It's been two years since we first saw the Ami. At this stage we should be expecting more improvements from the Ami/eRocks/Topolino. They're no more competitive or cheaper than han the Renault Twizy that remains unchanged since 2011, but that Twizy has an airbag and 80kmh top speed. EV technology has improved too much to see the Ami (or Twizy for that matter) languish. There's love for the beach buggy vibe but it's just tat, it's not enough. Price is the big one. A lot of bloggers with Amis are having the lemon experience.

[@hughventer2934]

SUV is stretching it by a mile

[@TheVintageApplianceEmporium]

Add another 3 grand and you can have a real car. Utterly pointless, ridiculous and overpriced

[@stevens7409]

Don’t be a wet towel

[@cabottaxi]

£10k for a car that has no doors so no protection from the elements. Not sure I'd be happy driving down the road with a 32 tonne truck bearing down on me.

[@remipersonne1375]

so it's better not to try to ride a motorbike otherwise you'll complain even more

[@GinoFoto]

As from France comedy movie in the 70s.

[@yvs6663]

the pricepoint sounds more like "if you crap money, buy this" or better yet "if your parents crap money, they should buy you this" if you are someone wo a license. because any reasonable person with a license would just buy a used iMiev for driving as far as they are ever gonna go in this and there are electric mopeds going for about 1500€ where i am from. so specially wo a proper door, its extra pointless.

[@ptwon7136]

would def be dope if u lived in a beach community

[@colinrenfrew48]

So this is what French humour looks like?

[@nikh8986]

Do you have to pay to park in town as its not technically a car?

[@shoestringsev4529]

There is literally no category in which the AIM is not beaten by an Electric moped/motorcycle. Weight, Efficiency, ease of parking ect.

[@meetmobility]

Safety, rain protection? Two wheels in winter is miserable.

[@ozamosantuwe]

Whoever writes the titles for your videos should be fired😏

[@grillerg]

£10k??? I actually laughed out loud when I read that. 2 grand would be more realistic 😂

[@chiperceanu]

[@colonelccccc]

10K no thanks, used marked offers so many cars at that price, this is not a car, this is at best a toy?

[@otm646]

3:53 - 3:57 That's what the girls say about me

[@maziyark.h7277]

If it had doors was better

[@uranium5694]

So it is pretty much the same "car" as the regular Ami but with no doors to compensate for the lack of proper windows and AC on the regular Ami. And it is more expensive. In this case i would rather get an ebike rather than this overpriced "car".

[@Spriggan83]

TWizy all over again.

[@frostreaper1607]

They really aren't innovating are they ? They should be updating the interior and make it more robust and car like, at that pace the Silence S04 will surpass the Ami.

Nobody has yet EXPLAINED the Point of EV as Environmentally it makes no sense. Am talking the whole process of EVERYTHING to make an EV from digging to get at raw materials too what powers the charges etc etc etc . Just wish all you car shows asks serious question or are You Afraid that you be Cancelled by the government/Manufactures. Seems to me the Only Honest person/company to this question is TOYOTA yes they make EV but They Still ask the question.

[@NortyNige]

You sound as much fun as a death at a birthday party.

[@scud69er]

Looks horrible, too slow to be useful and made by Citreon so it will last all of 3 months before the doors fall off. Maybe that's why they didn't include them in the first place... It's a bigger version of those children's ride-on cars that the parent can remotely control.
