Citroën C1 (05 on) - Review

Review by David Ross on
Last Updated: 12 November 2008
The C1 is Citroen's version of the Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo. It has different looks front and rear and the specification levels are slightly different, but otherwise it's essentially the same as its counterparts - it's even built in the same factory. Available with three or five doors, it's an excellent small car, with a roomy interior and a pleasant driving experience - although it can be a little noisy on the motorway. Two trim levels are available, Vibe which is the most basic and Rhythm which enjoys a few luxuries, plus there have been several special editions. In addition to the cheap price, Citroën usually has special offers running such as cashback deals. In 2009 the model was slightly facelifted with a tweaked front end plus new wheels and interior trims. The 1.0-litre engine was also improved with lower emissions and better economy.
