The thing which also worries me about these small cars,although i like them is once being a Robin Reliant owner myself it will get idiots tipping them over ,happened 3 times with my Reliant.

In the 5th Gear test Vicki Butler-Henderson had a good go at rolling one and got it on two wheels making it a complete deathtrap.

I just thought she was going far too fast for the manoeuvre she was attempting, despite what people say it isn't a go-kart.

I meant idiots tipping it over at night when it was parked up,lol.Never had a problem when driving though.

Many years ago, a former colleague came to work late cursing because someone had done that to his wife's proper fiat 500.

Must admit I am always tempted to walk down the street flipping all the cars parked on the pavement over onto the road- good job I don't eat weetabix

This popped up in my youtube clickbait feed

He shows you an underside view later on, the electric motor drives via a rubber band- reminds me very much of a C5. The comments are quite amusing too, about the sturdiness of the build- clearly they've never looked under a Proper Car

Just reinforces to me that it is massively, massively overpriced @ £8000 (£400 for a couple of stickers and some bits of orange plastic )   But I suppose the response is "If Citroen can sell all they can make at that price, why reduce it to a more realistic one?"

I'd order one today if it were £4000.

Since I live in a cave, I was shocked to see that the poverty spec. Dacia has gone from £7995 two years ago to £12995 today, so maybe It is me that has the problem

The Dacia Sandero is the UK's cheapest new car @ £12,595. Crazy isn't it? I also remember when they were £7995.

Unbelievable!
It does seem that you are correct:

£13k for the cheapest new car - I need some help with my maths!

The Dacia website lists it at £12995 today. (£13645 if you want any colour but poverty white) It now has a radio.

The spare wheel is an extra £300 (£120 if you buy an aftermarket one with tools)

They are blaming the B-word, C-word and W-word (all of which happened since I went into my cave- I think I'll stay in it )

It is all scary.
Even more so as I have to buy a new car this year.

I remember when it was £5,995 and it wasn't that long ago.

You will know best, but I would have thought that no one has to buy a new car.
