Does anyone own one of these or the Citroen C1 or Peugeot 107 ?. I know they are basically the same car but would like to know owners experience with them. We are thinking of buying one as we don't need a car as big as our Scenic anymore.Cheers. |

Don't own one, but ride in one regularly, absolute hate the things. I'd recommend getting something bigger, especially if you do a lot of motorway miles. |

French cars may be fine when new but do not have a very good reputation for reliability when older . A Fiesta may be a better bet .

Cheap as chips to run
Mine was an 08 and they have known clutch failures around 40-50k miles
The exhaust note will also drive you insane
Cheap to run
Cheap tyres
Cheap to tax
Shit build quality |

Our Scenic is 14 years old with 130000 miles on it. Mot yesterday only needed a number plate bulb.I think French cars are like any other really look after them and they last. We are thinking of an 09 or 10 plate.What car gives them good reviews. My parents have a fiesta that's quite thirsty despite only being a 1.4 |

i had a fleet of about 30 of the c1's over a period of a year as rental vehicles, not one bad word was said by any of the hire customers, not a bad way to form an opinion on how they are to drive/live with |
