I've had my Citreon C1 for five years now. She's reliable, no tax, cheap insurance, and costs around £40 for fuel - now petrol prices are going back down. Yes, She's noisy on motorways, but she's a great little runaround and has never let me down yet.
I have driven for 4000 km from italy to normandy and brittany with my girlfriend on my citroen c1 this summer, carrying a lot of camping stuff... is a great car!!! :D
Owning an aygo I can pretty much confirm that this car really isn't that bad on motorways and faster roads. To be honest, I'd rather drive it on those sorta roads than in the city. It can hold it's own perfectly fine.

Great little town car this one! I own an 2007 red 3 door, love it!! First time one a motorway, wasn't really the noise that was a bother, just a noticeable a sluggish feel, but overall great car :)
got here from the fifa 10 soundtrack playlist this vid is in. thank you @bredikomon ! parallel parking sure looked easy in a spot a bus would fit.. the steel rims says it all. perfect fit
i'm a very bad driver (blame social conditioning, being bullied by instructors and male relatives, being a perfectionist with bad motor coordination skills), and this car is pretty much perfect for ppl like me. it was also cheap. would i prefer better windows, a smarter regulation of rear view mirrors? yeah. i'm fine with the storage space bc i usually travel alone. i bought a second hand car, and this was the overall best option for my budget. it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's mine.
Toyota and PSA (Peugeot/Citroen) shared the development costs and the costs for making the factory that produces the cars. It is essentially the same car but with different outer body panels and a different badge.
Well, driving regularly a car like this (the c1 before facelift) I really must admit, that the boot seems really tiny, as you said, but try it out in real situations - you may be amazed how much does it swallow. The problem for me is the high load lift AND the angle of the rear seats. With a bit of experience you find out that the boot is just what you need in a car this size. :)
Of course everyone buys these cars because of a big boot, no road noise and Ferrari performance..... And not because its reliable, cheap to buy, cheap to maintain, cheap to run, cheap to ensure and great fuel economy.............
I had a 2007 Citroen C1 from new and did 30000 trouble free miles in it., It was llike a go kart, quick away from the traffic lights, very good on fuel and fun to drive. The steering was unpleasant on a longer run - driving on motorways and fast roads it needed constant correction or it woud wander off to one side or the other, very tiring on a long run. The worst part was the rock-hard suspension , I don't know if later models have improved suspension, but it became too much and I sold it to get a Hyundai I10 which was luxury by comparison.
I've just bought a 2013 Citroen C1 after an accident in a 2012 Hyundai i10 that ended up in the car being written off, my previous car to my i10 was a 2009 Nissan Micra (another write off only a 3 month gap between the 2 my insurance has skyrocketed even though the second write off in my i10 wasn't my fault 😶) and the Citroen feels like a perfect mix of the easy maintenance and revs to get to speed etc as the Micra with the ease of driving and the good clutch control of the i10. It's not as much of a got all the bells and whistles thing as the i10 but as I use it as a commuting car really I don't need them just something cheap to run and gets me to work so it's perfect for that imo
I have one, from 2009 but the 1.4 HDI. It's the most stable super mini at higher speeds that I've owned! You can drive along with 110/130 Km/h for hours on end. Passing a lorry/ truck doesn't move the car from side to side. Managed 160 Km/h with relative ease. MPG? 4.1 - 4.7/ 100 km. average
What's interesting when she did a review of the Toyota argo. She said they was hardly room for her and she's 5 foot 4.5 But ben the other car review presenter at 5 foot 10.5 said they was just even room for him in the argo. Is the small the same the citron c1 and the Toyota argo. Model from 2006 to 2014?
i had a citroen c1 2012 top range version VTR . cheap to drive and insure. recently had a bad accident and none of airbags popped which was weird the car was complete written off i be honest with you my seat belt save me .
Your air bags didn't go off because contrary to common belief they don't work on sensors but voltage drop once the car cuts off within a millionth of a second the ECU PICKS IT UP AND AIR BAGs deploy..
Got the c1 for my daughter to do driving lessons I love the car you have to drive it hard in every gear it will do 70 in third gear 5 thousand rpm in each gear and is good fun on the bendy roads I sound proofed are car made road noise much better at 80 on motorway Toyota engine and box make it a must have little car
I think both the Toyota and the Peugeot have the better front end. As with the other 2 cars: a strange mix of nice and awkward. They tend to look better or worse depending on the angle you look at one and the interior is a mess of bad french layout taste and cheap Japanees ecomaterials. But it is indeed quite a lot of car for the price...
Stop remembering us you're short ... You've already used all the expressions that could possibly be used to tell people you're short. Anyway, Thanks Carbuyer team .... Very informative videos.
This is the car I currently have and it's my first car and it is very good. The clutch control however was a bit of a struggle to get used to at first because the clutch in mine is so high up off the floor when the biting point kicks in and it does rev its nuts off when you have to give it a fair bit of gas to go without being on a hill even while reversing. I'm not sure sometimes if the clutch in my car is supposed to be as high as it is or if it need a new clutch but I did however find out that the clutch can't be adjusted as it's not an adjustable clutch when it passed for it's first M.O.T since I've had it. Also when parallel parking this car it is the most difficult one to do so with out of cars I have driven before in my driving lessons and I have driven three different cars in lessons before I passed my test. It's not so much in the day when it can be a struggle but in the dark, even on well lit roads is when it's tricky because the mirrors are very small and it makes it harder to see where the curb is. Other than all that it is an all round brilliant little car for first time young buyers as I only pay about £35 - £40 a month on petrol and mine is the 1.0l VTR version, you can pick one up second hand for about at least £2,500 depending on the year, tax for mine is only £30 for the year and insurance is cheap compared to other cars in England for first time buyers. Mine is £950 for the year with my insurance or I think it's £125 a month but for the last three months of the year it's free. One more extra little thing is you should beware of crosswinds in this car, don't even attempt to do 70 mph which is the UK national motorway speed limit on windy days or even if your going over quite high bridges, you slow down to about 55 - 60mph in this car or the Peugeot 107 because they are virtually about 80% plastic and very light weight.
For anyone reading this with a high biting point on your aygo the clutch on most cars is hydraulic so the car automatically adjusts the clutch so the biting point stays the same throughout the life of the clutch. C1 aygo 107 have cable controlled clutches that you manually adjust. If your biting point is really high you will be wearing out the release bearing because it's like you are driving around with your foot slightly pressed on the pedal even if you arnt. I believe mechanics intentially set the clutches to high so you need a new one after 30k miles and they make easy money. TH-cam adjusting aygo clutch cable and you will see a guide on how adjust it and lower your pedal Your clutch pedal should have about 25mm of free play with 0 resistance.. as your clutch wears out just adjust it again and if it's really worn the clutch will start slipping and then it's time for a new one
On the downside, on the freeway its very noise and no cruise control, driving longer in this car needs two drivers so you can switch after a few hours. Also the seats hurt your back after 1-2 hours, need a pillow behind the lower back.

Does the engine sound bad at 50mph or only sound bad above that?
@WillsM85 it's more road/tyre noise than anything
Best song on FIFA 10 soundtrack!!
Hottest song
Song jajajaajajajajajaja
I know right
Absolute groove
This is training arena just hits different
I have driven for 4000 km from italy to normandy and brittany with my girlfriend on my citroen c1 this summer, carrying a lot of camping stuff... is a great car!!! :D
Some friends are considered Luggage. :)
I love this song Im so glad it was on FIFA 10!
I spent some time with the near identical Aygo. Very good car for what it was designed for. Much bigger inside than it looks outside.
FIFA 10 brought me here. Nostalgia value is really high!
Owning an aygo I can pretty much confirm that this car really isn't that bad on motorways and faster roads. To be honest, I'd rather drive it on those sorta roads than in the city. It can hold it's own perfectly fine.
i love the way her jeans fit :)
dude i actually click on this random video because of her jeans
Vind het hele wijf lekker.
Absolute freak this is a car video
Yeah she looks pretty damn good.
why didn't you ask her out then?
She keeps getting better and better.... :)
Out of all the cars I have ever had, not one of them have had a special banana compartment. Well done citroen!
Pmsl 👍😁
Good job Rebecca. You've improved considerably over the past few months. Congrats!
Nobody's really looking at the car on this video are they 😂😂
these comments are disgusting. have some respect. she’s only doing her job and these comments are sexualising her.
I bet she struggles with girth.
I don't care about noise I just want something cheap to get to work

Absolutely amazing. Charming and fascinating.
Car's not bad either.

Good review summarising the pros and cons really well.

No, don't blame it on social conditioning and men, you're a bad driver because you're a woman.
Some of the comments on here are right creepy. This is a reallt informative video, thank you!
Who else came here from FIFA 10's Soundtrack playlist someone made? lol
Same can't believe it's still here 🤣
great review, you're definitely getting better at this! keep up the good work! :))
Why hello fellow men of culture! I see that, you too, can appreciate, small beautiful cars!
classic fifa 10 song
good review, you have improved tremendously since your first car reivew =) keep up the good work
She is pretty!

All good things come in small packages.. you Becca!! You're the best smallest package of them all!!!
Does it sound bad at 50mph or only sound bad above that?
This gave me flashbacks of my career mode

You know why it was so fun to drive (like a go kart)?

Slightly better than a push bike
I'm dying xD LMAO
"All good things come in small packages", she's right, c'mon, look at her ! :D
I need some help , I can’t get the car up hills on junctions … i stall bad and it’s so dangerous I’ve had the car 2 days and passed my test last week
she has one of the best figures ever
Can the driver seat be raised up and down ?
No
shes gorgeous
nice review Rebecca! nice silhouette!!
What, the car or Rebecca?
@@Nooziterp1 why not both?☺️
@@Tips4TripsAV Why not indeed. But I would rather look at Rebecca than the car.
0:27 rebecca :"let me show you"
me: HMMM I SEEEE
Lol 😂 I remember this banging tune on career mode
Does it still have that annoying tick , that it should have been recalled for.

im impressed a bird that can do a reverse park.
Great review, the perfect city car for me.
Thanks!
Well I recommended more Sköda Citigo, is more practical for me
She didn't pull the handbrake after parking
why the AC control panel like Peugeot 107 ?
Because Citroen, Peugeot and Toyota collaborated.
All three are mechanically, electrically and structurally identical.
@@MG-bs5mr thanks !
My lease on my C1 is up in 6 months :(
So should I go C3 or DS3?
Also opinions about her videos are getting better... There are fewer dislikes.
i had a citroen c1 2012 top range version VTR . cheap to drive and insure. recently had a bad accident and none of airbags popped which was weird the car was complete written off i be honest with you my seat belt save me .

what was wrong with yesterdays video?
"all good things come in small packages"... looking at you hotness I could not agree more!
I really like her body and the way it moves!
there was a car in this video?
Fifa 10 soundtrack xDDD
Can anybody tell me why on earth a 60 bhp car has traction control fitted as standard?
Why is this in the fifa10 soundtrack list?
and where exactly is your problem if we admire her looks? She looks good! And she reviews the cars pretty well. So what?
OMG FIFA 10 NOSTALGIA...
That was a really tight parking space.
Why do you need to control your passenger window? What for?
Lawrence Lo Say you had to pull over and ask for directions or assistance and the person whose attention you wanted was on your passenger side
What was wrong with the last vid?
Got the c1 for my daughter to do driving lessons I love the car you have to drive it hard in every gear it will do 70 in third gear 5 thousand rpm in each gear and is good fun on the bendy roads I sound proofed are car made road noise much better at 80 on motorway Toyota engine and box make it a must have little car
Citroen products had good success in France until now ....nice car ..thanks 4 video
sooo in love with the interior, but so disappointed with the backseat window:'(
Great cars love them 🤠
Becca, dear what do you expect at this price point?
she's a cutie for driving round the city
Best car in FIFA 10, no doubt.
I think both the Toyota and the Peugeot have the better front end.
As with the other 2 cars: a strange mix of nice and awkward.
They tend to look better or worse depending on the angle you look at one and the interior is a mess of bad french layout taste and cheap Japanees ecomaterials.

Nice review :-)
As to 'friends or luggage?' ... well I reckon luggage cos friends won't be biting your arm off to ride in the back of that.
I agree with her on the horn. It's ridiculous. Other than that I am a happy C1-driver. It's incredibly low-cost.
Traction control on a C1?
did any one else notice that the dashboard is the same as the Toyota aygo's
Can you adjust the seat to go up
Atinuke Sijuwade nope just forward and backward but there is enough adjustment in the C1 for any average male👍
It was Matt doing the parallel parking. LOL
Stop remembering us you're short ... You've already used all the expressions that could possibly be used to tell people you're short.

My 107 is the same on the clutch, very high.
Driven my c1 at 85mph on the motorway once, not that bad, quite easy to control

It is what it is... A "First car" for a new driver or a "Pop to the shop 2nd family car"
