CITROEN C1 1.0i Vibe 5dr (2005)

Citroen C1 Review - Fun to rag around

This is my first car so I don't really know how to compare properly (apart from sega rally lol), but the Citroen C1 is big laughs to drive around. I rag it round like an arcade game, it's fantastic for that. I'll be honest it's my mum's car, but as far as she's concerned it's driven carefully enough! I actually did stack it once, not that badly, but I managed to knock the rear bumper off. That went back on easily enough and hasn't fallen off yet, so here's hoping it's idiot proof.

It's supposed to get really high mileage but the way I drive it that comes down a bit. It's still cheap mind, so if you drove it carefully you'd probably be getting uber savings on petrol.

I mostly like to drive it round the country lanes near us, which are a bit rough in places but the Citroen C1 takes it all pretty well. Not bad for a cheap small car I spose. It's pretty big too. I sometimes take 3 mates with me and we're all pretty tall lads, they fit in the back fine. It doesn't drive as well with 4 in tho, bit more sluggish.

Also we can't fit four peoples stuff in the boot, no chance. That's the most annoying thing about it really, just always running out of space back there. I mean the seats are big enough but there's no space for people to stash stuff by their feet, so it's tricky going to weekend away parties and that if you want to take any stuff with you like decks as well as everyone's change of clothes.
