#citroen #review #electriccar - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
i'm french and i think you are kind of missing the point. You keep calling it a car but as far as the law is concerned, it's a moped.
So no driving license required, drivable from age 14, low insurance.
In France you see tons of these at high schools, because the parent feel safer than giving kids a 2 wheels moped.
To go from a point A to B in a city, there is no better vehicule !
Fair point!
Yes, complaining a quadricycle doesn't do car things so is bad is like complaining your dinner knife doesn't do fork things and is bad or your mouse doesn't do monitor things. *shrugs*
In the uk you have to be 16 not 14 😅
My thoughts, they're in the AM "mopeds" category (and so, say, motorcycle licence holders who don't have a car licence can also "drive" these).
I have one that I really like, it does all the things a normal car does, but at almost zero cost. Best 8000 euros I spent in my life.
I'm test driving one in a few days. Have you had any issues with frost in the winter or heavy rain? I only do local drives but sometimes only once every two weeks so I'd like to know it's well sealed to avoid damp and eventual mould. I don't have a garage to park it in.
It is a deathbox. No airbags, no squashzones, no squeezezones nothing. If an SUV hits you and 30 mph you’re toast
@@Spitzkopf366-APM Yes and ditto that for motorbikes and yet???
Americans when a "car" has no 7 litre v8 with 120 hp and is 8 metres long.
It's not made to compete with cars, it's made to compete with scooters, bikes and other inner city ways to come by. In europe you can get a drivers license for this about 2 years before you can drive a full size car. Why it's available in the US is a real question to ask.
It's not a car, it's a luxury electric scooter, and I love it
25 years driving bikes and scooters in the bloody rain i still thinks this a better option then a car and yes i have a driving lincense. You missed the piont here
You've completely missed the point of this vehicle....
You're supposed to compare it to an electric moped. Unlike the moped you don't get wet in the rain, you don't get cold in winter, you can't fall off it and you're more likely to be seen by other traffic.
I have one instead of catching the bus, unlike the bus it always turns up and I always get a seat! Best of all, it costs £4 to fully charge it!
It's the perfect vehicle for running around town - just don't go on a road faster than 30mph!
It's easily the best worst car I've ever owned 😆
was it in limp mode because the battery was almost empty?
I think it was. Still an awful car/tricycle or whatever one wants to call it 😩🤣
I use this car in cold Sweden, live rural, and drive 15000 km a year. I am very happy with it. It use only 700 watt in 10 km, which is here about 20% of a simular moped using diesel. By far the best in its class!!
I’ve had one of these cars for a year now and yes it’s basic but somehow it’s brought the fun back into driving! Charging is so easy. Just plug it into the mains
Yup, it's not a car, it's a quadracycle. Comparing it to a Tesla is like comparing a single-engine Cessna to a Gulfstream biz-jet, but pilots love Cessnas. Compare the Ami to a golf cart, a 50cc scooter or an e-bike, and it's brilliant.
Looks great, one of the most interesting things car industry has done in decades - rather than the constant oversized, insanely expensive and largely pointless over powered cars the industry chucks out. Basically an Affordable run around, bit more top speed would be good - 40mph probably make it more palatable on many British roads.
Out of spec reviews drove one at the Las Vegas car show that was tuned or "unleashed" for the American market, and did about 45mph and would chirp the tires.
It's for grandmas and high schoolers who don't have a license. you don't need one to drive it in France. And for grandmas to go the market, or a teenager to go to school it's good enough. The main problem I see is that it's too expensive for what it is.
Great comment - thank you 🙏
If I didnt have children and didn't have to travel far for work I would 100% buy one of these.
It’s not a car and shouldn’t be compared to one.
Compare it to a moped that keeps you dry and you can’t fall off
They can call it what they like - looks like a car to me mate
Well I’ve had mine a year and done 3500miles in it, but before I bought one I was cycling every day in the pissing rain, so from my viewpoint is the height of luxury. Depends on where your coming from mate
Thank you for making me laugh ….. I needed that! 😊😂
I still really want to drive one as a 13 year old
Your bicycle is better!
u mean my ix4 electric scooter btw is this in wales cuz i think ive seen this exact ami@@shollysgarage
Me too, but I am 74... damn.
I will still love a Smart Fortwo. But this is nice, when I would not be allowed anymore to have my license.
I just got my ami back after 6 months with Citroen, it needed a new battery pack only9 months old with 8000 kilometres on it
You are testing it with 4% battery. My MG4 would be in limp mode that low. I just looked at a 2 person pedicab with electric assist, almost 15k! You buy cheap, you get cheap. If you’re in a low paid job that’s 10 miles away this would get you there and back every day cheaply. It’s horses for courses.
When you got into the vehicle, it LITERALLY sounds uncomfortable. I've never seen/heard something that bad from a car review before.
It is the perfect car for shopping near your house.
£12k to have your shopping bag fall over, and the onions roll behind the pedals 😂
If you live in the city, work in the city and have no kids, I can see a use for this.
i like how you were positively talking about the car then in next 3 minutes you started roasting the sh*t out of it, and that moan got me 5:37 😂😂😂
🤣🤣
Who wants to drive an oven in the summer???
👌🤣
That was funny 😂 looks like a porta loo on wheels.
🤣🤣
Good summary -thank you!
Your welcome - thanks for your comment :)
If it's only got 4KM its in limp mode - which starts at 10km
i seen one on the road on the parkway near sheffield i was Jealous I wanted one
I Drive a Ford Fiesta
These are good for 14+ actually good for 16year olds
i think it's a cool concept for short distances but way too overpriced for what it is, 10'000 euro
It is basic city transportation, nothing more, nothing less.
People will either love this car or hate it - Excellent review! raw and honest
Thank you! ☺️
U just seem negative tbh, it’s not a car your judging it as one
A car that identifies as a quadricycle 🙄🙄🙄
@@shollysgarage it’s literally a quadricycle not a car. You can’t take it on the motorway.
you are talking like you paid 20.000€ for it, what else brand new vehicle can you get for 6.000€?
Oui, il oublie que la voiture coute le prix d’une option siège sport chez porsche.
Buy a used Toyota Aygo for less than this. At least it can hold it's own around town and on motorways, and is dirt cheap to own.
I'm pretty sure it's just a re skinned cheap Chinese car. It's about the same size and rides similar. If you don't know just lookup the cheapest new car on youtube and I'm sure an example will come up.
They are made in Morroco
It's actually a bespoke French-made car and quite different from the Chinese granny cars. The Ami uses a belt-drive industrial truck alternator as a motor, suspension and steering parts from a compact petrol motorcar
quadrocycle
haha it is indeed horrebile
Finally somebody agrees with me 🤣🤣
It. Isn't. A. Car.
43 miles???? 😮
Yup 😩😩😩
@@shollysgarage So, its basically a mid-range E-Bike with a weight problem?.......
'Citroën-Shoddy comes as standard'
I think you are spot on this one - waste of a car!
Thank you 🙏
You're video is great! Unfortunately you're driving a shit car which is the worst to ever be made! I would prefer a wheel chair and that says something.
Thank you! Car is awful 🤣
