Citroen C1 2006

5 star review

I bought this car new and kept it for 4 years, finally selling it with 34000 miles on the clock. During this time I never had any problems and my only concern was concerning the wheel rims, which I believe are too soft and bend at the slightest pot hole. It was driven from Surrey to North Wales and back, and also to Cornwall and the Lake District covering 1000 miles in a week. The car is quite pokey when driven with a single passenger but sluggish when more than one passenger in the car, especially up hill. An excellent little car, I would happily buy another.

Citroen C1 Rhythm 2006

3 star review

I bought this second hand 12.5K from a Citroen dealer based on my work colleagues experience with an Aygo (same car). It had one years warranty left. In 6 month I noticed the clutch biting very high - I went back to the dealer - comment was it was normal, but I insisted on noting the time and date of this report. The clutch then failed out of warranty at 23K. Citroen fixed it free of charge. Now at 40K the clutch makes a noise when depressed but seems to bite OK with no slipping - engine light is permanently on - Computer read out shows Cat issue. But sailed through MOT emission test. MPG always in the 50s - So I now ignore the light. Rear muffer looks very rusty but has not fallen off yet. All in all not quite what I hoped for in what is basically a youngish Toyota albeit built in the Czech Republic.

It’s a pile of c**p!!! I’d rather have a Citroen C2, which is more powerful, sporty and more aggressive!

Citroen C1 Vibe 2006

4 star review

Very good small car, looks great according to my daughter who uses it more than my wife. Nippy and gives 52/56mpg on short journeys, going up to 65/69 on longer runs. Good dealer, only seen for a service, no faults so far.

Citroen C1 C1 VIBE 2006

4 star review

Very pleased with the running costs of the car and find it very nippy. Am trading it in for a rhythm cos i miss electric windows and central locking. Have been having trouble with driver and tailgate locks and this car is garaged. Wish there was an actual glove compartment; I can’t imagine it costs Citroen much to put one in. Was really chuffed with the cost of the car tax this year. I would like a bit more oomph on the motorway when necessary but when the engine is wound up it cruises along with everything else quite nicely (within the legal speed limits of course). But then it is only a tiny engine. The rear of the car gets filthy very quickly as the back is almost vertical living out in the countryside means it is dirty more than clean driving round the lanes to work and visibility in reversing is pretty bad as the wiper blade isn’t very big. But I do love the car.

Citroen C1 1.1 Vibe 2006

2 star review

Twenty past eight...Saturday morning...should be in bed...wife woke me up...wants to go test drive a bloody Citroen C1 ...wants a red one...with a cigarette lighter...lots of miles to the gallon...lots of questions from the salesperson...can’t be bothered with the free coffee...where’s the bloody car...let’s all get comfy...(Yer right oh)... Yep, really was not interested in test driving this little slipper box on wheels but had to render myself willing as the wife is so keen on these cute little cars, (her words not mine)! Driving around the car park was the easy bit, not much room to manoeuvre between all of the bigger, larger, huger, impressive, vehicles on offer at the local showroom, but this little but danced in and around all of them, with ease. Leaving the car parking area...well that was a complete nightmare, (felt as if the car had shrunk enough to slide under the nearest Mondeo spoiler, and be cuddled by it�s under body exhaust system. The first thing you all should really know is that these C1 cars are very small, i mean had my wife been any more than the fourteen stone and one pound she claims to be, then it would have to be back seats down and lean in with your arms wrapped around your neck, whilst you try and squeeze the bottom half of her into the tiny gulley Citroen call a rear boot. I suppose these vehicles are perfect for inner city town use, (or Cindy, Barbie and Ken), and a good job they would do as well, but not ever have i had to feel terrified, been so "at risk", when surrounded by much, much bigger cars in every lane that i ventured into, (even a Mini resembled a bloody Mondeo, from where i was sat. Good town car...Yes certainly. For four people ... never. Good value for money and reliable...certainly. For real drivers and men...er nope. Sexist i may seem, but realist i really am and i still prefer the Corsa.
