This… is the 2021 Citroën C1 Flair. A car that is small, light, and French. Which usually means it'll either make you smile, or fall apart in your hands like a stale croissant. But not this one. Oh no. Finished in Spring Blue, with a contrasting black roof and wing mirrors, it looks like someone's actually thought about this. Then they added gloss black and diamond-cut alloys, just to say, "yes, I may be a tiny city car, but I've got more style than a Shoreditch barista." It's possibly the best colour combo you can get on one of these. Frankly, if you've seen a better one, you're wrong. It's done just 23,000 miles – barely run in – and it's had only two previous owners, who clearly treated it better than most people treat their houseplants. It's in lovely condition, and yes, it's small – but it's also fun, which is something cars twice the size and price regularly forget to be. Spec-wise? Surprisingly good. Air con – so you don't arrive anywhere looking like you've just come from Bikram yoga. Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto – all the modern things that let you ignore the radio and play your questionable playlists instead. And, bizarrely for a car this small – cruise control. Because obviously, you're going to be doing cross-continental road trips in this… at 43mph. And because we're not savages, it'll get a brand new MOT with no advisories, a fresh service, and a 6-month parts and labour warranty thrown in. Free of charge. Yes, really. Not even Citroën could mess that up. So, if you want something that's cheap to run, easy to park, and actually a bit cool in a weird, European way – this is it. A car that proves you don't need 600 horsepower and launch control to have a good time. Sometimes, less really is more.
