Please be gentle with me, I'm a little old lady ;)

I'm tempted to buy a Citroen C1, supermarket trips plus odds and bits mean I drive only 4k miles a year now.
Would the basic petrol C1 be ok for me ? I currently have a Nissan Micra which will probably keep going for another 20 years :eek: but I'm bored with it and fancy a new car :o

    What about the other twins, the Peugeot 107 and the Toyota Aygo?

    They seemed to have problems with the doorseals letting in bucketloads of water.

    The citroen is also sold badged as a Peugoet and as the Toyota Aygo which now has the bonus of a 5 year warranty. Worth checking which car has the spec you want as they do differ, and which manufacturer is offering the best deal

    Why are you 'only considering' a Citroen C1 specifically then and nothing else?

    I saw one, liked it and finding out what's what about it gives me a baseline to compare others with. Have to start somewhere ;)

    Well as others have said the Citroen C1, Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 107 are basically the same thing so I wouldn't limit yourself to just the Citroen.

    You thinking of buying new or used?

    Hyundai i10, better than all the above. Just won Auto Express City car of the year and rightly so. Equipment warranty and space inside are a level above the C1/Aygo cars.

    You're right, they all look like sucked toffees. Probably new, but if I spot a good used I wouldn't ignore it.
