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 :)
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.
+Andrew Wakeman If you don't care about refinement but want a new car, the Dacia Sandero is hard to beat. Our video review: www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/dacia/sandero/hatchback/video#video
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
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.
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
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.............
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. :)
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
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.
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 do not want to be, mean or offensive or sexist in any way shape or form. what was that at 1.06, if i am not mistaken, was that a banana???? Anyway great review as usually.
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
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. UA-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.
I have this car as well, for the last five years. its great and good price, both for purchase and driving. speedy in the city and good control. You can without problem get in four grownups in this car without feeling mashed together. My girlfriend even added a pink steering sleeve to the red car, and when I comes honking on the road it can be quite feminine, but I don't need no large car to compensate so I don't car at all. ;)

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. :)
FIFA 10 brought me here. Nostalgia value is really high!
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.
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.
Out of all the cars I have ever had, not one of them have had a special banana compartment. Well done citroen!
Pmsl 👍😁
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?
Absolutely amazing. Charming and fascinating.
Car's not bad either.
The car isn't bad, it's horrible
@@Tucet_ just like you then?
Good job Rebecca. You've improved considerably over the past few months. Congrats!
She keeps getting better and better.... :)
Nobody's really looking at the car on this video are they 😂😂
Some of the comments on here are right creepy. This is a reallt informative video, thank you!
Rebecca has grown into an excellent car reviewer! That didn't take long at all!
Why hello fellow men of culture! I see that, you too, can appreciate, small beautiful cars!
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 :)

No, don't blame it on social conditioning and men, you're a bad driver because you're a woman.
I don't care about noise I just want something cheap to get to work

Good review summarising the pros and cons really well.
great review, you're definitely getting better at this! keep up the good work! :))

classic fifa 10 song
This gave me flashbacks of my career mode
Who else came here from FIFA 10's Soundtrack playlist someone made? lol
Same can't believe it's still here 🤣
good review, you have improved tremendously since your first car reivew =) keep up the good work

She is pretty!
Aleksey Yaremenko yes yes ... and also the car
She is stunning, the car is not bad I suppose
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.............

Oh yea. This was my transfers tune. Nothing better to sign those cheeky free agent players
Slightly better than a push bike
I'm dying xD LMAO
and where exactly is your problem if we admire her looks? She looks good! And she reviews the cars pretty well. So what?
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.
All good things come in small packages.. you Becca!! You're the best smallest package of them all!!!
I LOVE CITROEN c1
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.
You know why it was so fun to drive (like a go kart)?
That stiff suspension.
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
she has one of the best figures ever
Also opinions about her videos are getting better... There are fewer dislikes.
I really like her body and the way it moves!
"All good things come in small packages", she's right, c'mon, look at her ! :D
im impressed a bird that can do a reverse park.
That was a really tight parking space.
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.
There is a car in this video? Dident notice.
Lol 😂 I remember this banging tune on career mode

Is the small the same the citron c1 and the Toyota argo. Model from 2006 to 2014?
Can the driver seat be raised up and down ?
No
Does it still have that annoying tick , that it should have been recalled for.
Best car in FIFA 10, no doubt.
there was a car in this video?
sooo in love with the interior, but so disappointed with the backseat window:'(
I do not want to be, mean or offensive or sexist in any way shape or form.
what was that at 1.06, if i am not mistaken, was that a banana????
Anyway great review as usually.
0:27 rebecca :"let me show you"
me: HMMM I SEEEE
Citroen products had good success in France until now ....nice car ..thanks 4 video
She didn't pull the handbrake after parking
she could charm Thanos out of destroying universe
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
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..
"all good things come in small packages"... looking at you hotness I could not agree more!
shes gorgeous
what was wrong with yesterdays video?
My lease on my C1 is up in 6 months :(
So should I go C3 or DS3?
It was Matt doing the parallel parking. LOL
Thinking of buying this car, really cheap on the insurance
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.
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
Becca, dear what do you expect at this price point?
I only foresee men buying this car if SHE comes with it.
It is what it is... A "First car" for a new driver or a "Pop to the shop 2nd family car"
Great review, the perfect city car for me.
Thanks!
Well I recommended more Sköda Citigo, is more practical for me
she's a cutie for driving round the city
What was wrong with the last vid?
Can anybody tell me why on earth a 60 bhp car has traction control fitted as standard?
I agree with her on the horn. It's ridiculous. Other than that I am a happy C1-driver. It's incredibly low-cost.
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
The car has a nice color
Where is the car?
Great cars love them 🤠
did any one else notice that the dashboard is the same as the Toyota aygo's
Traction control on a C1?
I didn't know there were new cars with no a/c
PLEASE REVIEW THE PEUGEOT 208
Why is this in the fifa10 soundtrack list?
This is the car I currently have and it's my first car and it is very good.

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

This is a car review, just to remind.....
Best Fifa 10 Song 👌
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👍
I have this car as well, for the last five years. its great and good price, both for purchase and driving. speedy in the city and good control. You can without problem get in four grownups in this car without feeling mashed together. My girlfriend even added a pink steering sleeve to the red car, and when I comes honking on the road it can be quite feminine, but I don't need no large car to compensate so I don't car at all. ;)
I bet she left you, the car and that quite feminine vagina of yourse that you dont need no large car to compensate for.
I like the back windows
yeah this is my favorite FIFA 10 song
Thank you. Have decided on the DSport Plus with the e-HDi 110 engine. Sport Red with Black roof! Can't fucking wait!!!
Uh, the 208 is in a higher class. It's like saying, "why don't you get a VW golf because it makes the 208 seem pointless"
