Almost every reviewer keeps referring to these being city cars. You two are the only ones I've seen show that these are fantastic cars for rural areas too. It's a 26km round trip to my nearest shop and 50kms to the nearest supermarket here in rural Portugal. 90% of my monthly driving is less than 60kms per day. I hate getting my petrol car out, just to drive a few kilometres. I still use full tank every month. I'm definitely buying an Ami. They're €7,000 here after subsidy, but it's still an absolute bargain. Great seeing you two use yours in every situation. Lots of hills here too.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Ian. It really works great for us and so far has been incredibly cheap to run.

Guys, what a fun and beautiful trip. Beautiful images of Eze in a beautiful dreamy golden glow of the sun. Getting a fine is always annoying, but comfort yourself with the thought that in the Netherlands a ticket for incorrect parking starts at €100, excluding €9 administration costs. Unnecessarily honking the horn for €400 and holding a smartphone for €350. We can hardly wait for the next video to be online with another fun trip. We wish you a very nice week with beautiful and surprising moments. Kind regards, Alex and Nathalie

[@PixelShade]

I just love this vehicle, the simplicity and fun. The issue living in south of Sweden is that the car infrastructure is made exclusively for normal cars. And every year people are driving bigger and heavier cars, especially now with the huge batteries in all-electric vehicles (2ton+). On rural roads people drive at 70km/h, but more often than not they exceed the limit at 100km/h, which would make me super uncomfortable in an Ami. It's a real shame, I wish car traffic was more restricted to highways. while the traffic infrastructure for city traffic and rural roads would use more vehicles like these. I can definitely see the Ami being exceptional in other places, especially in southern Europe, where roads are narrow and speeds are naturally limited just by the roads themselves. Which I think is perfectly showcased in this video. It's a shame such a solution isn't an option here. The Ami isn't even sold here by understandable reasons. And since I want to avoid owning a car, my solution has been bicycle, bicycle trailer, electric skateboard, and public transit. It serves 99.99% of my previous car use. I can do most things with bicycle + trailer. The electric skateboard is super easy to bring on transit, but has a downside of being quite heavy and I am unable lock it up and leave it like a bicycle. But for all the cases when I have clear destination. Like visiting my brother, mother etc. the train + skateboard makes a lot of sense. :)

[@TwizyMan]

Another really enjoyable video. i came across your channel because of searching for Citroen Ami videos. I am very interested in getting an Ami myself as I currently own a Renault Twizy which although faster has much less room for a passenger and not as weatherproof. I can't wait for your long trip to start, I think you will find it easy to get a charge at restaurants, bars and some shops and even at people's houses. People are more inclined to help you out than if you had an electric Audi or Mercedes, and ran out of charge, I now carry a 15 metre waterproof mains extension lead in case of emergency. I also bought a charger adapter lead so I can use the more common Type 2 public charging points and recommend that you do the same. I expect you have the excellent Zap Map App on your phones to locate charging points, and you can also get information about ones that are out of order. I agree with the previous person that left a comment, Velcro is the way to go for securing your interior light, I got mine from Amazon too. Good luck with your travels and very best wishes from one micro electric car user to another!

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Andrew. When I first saw a Twizzy I wanted one of those too! But quite a bit more expansive and I don’t think as comfortable in winter as this. That said great fun in Summer I imagine. We have an extension and an adaptor (yet to be tested). Good to know people are obliging I think we will be banking on them! See you on the journey!

As for car names "Nesty" is the name our car had when we bought it from our friend. I think it also suits the Ami. A secure place you feel warm and at home.

Salut les gars ! J'ai l'expérience d'une Citroën Ami depuis presqu' un an maintenant, et J'y prends bien du plaisir. J'habite dans le sud de la France. Je peux vous rassurer à propos de vos craintes quant à la chaleur et l'effet de serre de l'habitacle en plein été: il y fait chaud certes, mais pas plus que dans d'autres voitures sans climatisation. Il suffit quand on roule d'ouvrir les fenêtres et ça va très bien. J'ai acheté la même petite lumière que vous pour l'intérieur du véhicule. Elle fonctionne très bien et ne s'est jamais décollée du plafond malgré la grosse chaleur de l'été. Les rétroviseurs extérieurs sont petits mais suffisants et on s'y fait vite. En revanche, l'achat du rétroviseur intérieur est indispensable ! En tout cas, j'admire votre courage d'oser parcourir les routes dès la réception de l'Ami. Comme vous, je n'avais jamais conduit de véhicule avant cela et je n'ai pas eu votre témérité. Continuez à nous régaler avec vos escapades.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Merci Beaucoup. Good to know it doesn’t get too hot. Wonder why our light keeps falling off? Will try cleaning the roof and apply new tape. Great to have you on the journey!

@@MeandMonAmi Oui, essayez de nettoyer l'endroit où vous poserez le plafonnier avec un peu d'acétone, puis appuyez fort sur la pastille et laissez sécher un moment avant de poser le plafonnier sur l'aimant. C'est vrai qu'en général, le gens ont des réactions sympathiques en voyant passer notre petite bestiole, mais les autres conducteurs sont parfois du genre grincheux. Surtout ceux avec une grosse "caisse" : "j'en ai une plus grosse que toi ! :)" Il faut dire que sur les routes l'Ami ralentit l'allure du trafique... Bonne route !

Citroens like the 2CV were famous for their soft suspensions. How does the AMI compare? Those speed bumps seemed very noticeable but I guess they are supposed to be. A super upgrade would be a new windscreen which has an openable flap at the bottom like the 2CV had. I think that would dramatically improve ventilation. The 2CV flap had a mosquito screen to keep the bugs out but I don't know about rain. While we are at 2CV-izing the AMI, maybe the rooftop glass could be replaced by a vinyl roll back top like the 2CV and Dyane had!

[@MeandMonAmi]

It’s a very long time since I rode in a 2CV (pre the invention of speed bumps) and the ones round here are ridiculous at times but I think the ride is ok. Basic but ok. I think the Italian version is going to have a roll back roof

Flap up windows, all flat glass, a dip stick instead of a fuel gauge and the speedo cable drove the wipers. Can't imagine your Ami driving over a ploughed paddock with a basket of eggs...

Also slowing other motorists might not be such a bad thing. As for a name for the car, maybe Hilda after your aunt, or one of the characters of Friends (Ami, get it) Monica Ross.....

It would be great (if you make it to Marseille) if you could end up at St Just? I presume you've not made it to Marseille yet? I have noticed that this video is more than 4 months old so you might have completed you "Riviera Challenge" in your Ami by now? Anyway do let me know?

[@MeandMonAmi]

Good story! No we haven’t made it to Marseille yet. Will look up St Just. Thanks!

[@francisgraves5216]

@@MeandMonAmi Actually, Will loved his wine so much that we had to take shifts looking after him when he was in Marseille ! He could do a presentation on no sleep! (We couldn't!) If you get to Marseille late July or early August, let me know as I will be not far away in St Remy de Provence!

Lol, you have to slow down on those speed bumps or you’ll be in the garage soon

[@MeandMonAmi]

Even slower?!

[@colingarner6175]

I’m sure Citroen will come up with software upgrade to increase the power . The problem then is that , in France, fourteen year olds wouldn’t be allowed to drive it . This has already been done , I think , in America , to vastly increase the speed .

[@MeandMonAmi]

It’s not just about 14 year olds though no one would be able to drive it without a licence which would take away a big part of the market I imagine

[@SP95]

The supplier for the Ami electric engine actually showed an " Unleashed " version of the car in America with twice the horsepower only thanks to a software upgrade. But yes, because of those regulations they still don't intend to have an other more powerful variant. What a frustration especially since this was the same engine.

[@MeandMonAmi]

@@SP95 Yup I saw that. It’s tricky cos the speed limitation doesn’t bother us at all really but I can see in other countries and situations it might bother people.

You don’t want a rear view mirror. All you will see is angry faces telling you to go faster 😡. If you do get a mirror, I suggest a bumper sticker that says “ when I am not driving slow, I am sparring at the local boxing gym” . Great video 🙂

[@MeandMonAmi]

That has crossed my mind but we’ve succumbed! We’ve got a 45 max sticker but I think it’s a bit common!
