Description
This… is the 2015 Citroën C1 1.0 VTi Feel—a car so small and light it feels like you could carry it home if it broke down. Which, being a C1, it won’t. It’s built for one thing: getting you from A to B with absolutely zero drama, zero stress, and almost zero fuel cost.
Under the bonnet is a 1.0-litre petrol engine producing 68 bhp. Now, that’s not exactly supercar territory—0–60 takes 14 seconds—but here’s the thing: it’ll do over 65 mpg combined, costs next to nothing to tax, and insurance is Group 6. Which means if you’re a first-time driver, this could be the car that keeps both you and your parents happy.
ULEZ? Of course—it’s a Euro 5 petrol, so London and every other clean air zone will welcome it with open arms.
When new, this C1 would have cost around £9,500, but for that modest sum you got air conditioning, Bluetooth, a 7-inch touchscreen, DAB radio, USB connectivity, remote central locking, electric windows, and a car that will fit in parking spaces others wouldn’t even attempt.
The C1 is also ridiculously cheap to run—small tyres, small service bills, and a turning circle so tight it could embarrass a London taxi.
So whether you’re learning to drive, looking for your first car, or just want something that’ll nip through traffic and sip fuel like it’s rationed, this little Citroën is perfect.
