We didn't even bother going to see it. After seeing his google comments score of 1.9 and reading the reviews, we thought it safer to go elsewhere. If you are considering buying a vehicle from here do some research first. I'm so glad i did.

Didnt think Id be able to afford a Citroen C1 Flair so was really pleased when I found this car in my price bracket. Its a smart looking car inside and out. Having never driven anything less than a 1.4 engine I was apprehensive about dropping to a 999cc. I no longer need to do regular long distance motorway driving but this little car doesnt struggle when accelerating upto 70 miles per hour ( foot not hard to floor and felt it could easily gone past 70 without any effort).Its a more comfortable ride than I expected for a small car and its nippy. Yes it does have a bit of a roar when pulling away in 1st . Its Toyota engine has 3 cylinders so perhaps that accounts for the roar . Pulls away better in 2nd. Like the fact its a chain as against cambelt - no expensive repairs. The front seats are roomy whilst the back a little neat but enough for my needs and to fit 2 grandchildren in. Whilst the boot is small and compact . Generally , I wont be transporting rear passengers often ( apart from the dog ) so big enough for my needs. The rear seats split and fold flat when need extra space. Excellent features in the Flair and park assist is useful. Very good qualityAudio system and display screen. Good connection for telephone calls( only gripe is cant seem to transfer my phone contacts??? ). As I havent owned it for long Ive given it 4 stars as unable to comment on economics of running the car but if the specs prove to be true etc... may well rate 5 in future.

Citroën C1 (2014-2020) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Cute and quirky looks | Very small boot, even for a city car |
| Easy to drive and small enough to make parking a doddle | A VW Up is better to drive |
| Funky roll-top version | The Citroën's new car warranty is short compared with those offered by Hyundai and Kia |
Quick Summary
The Citroën C1 (2014-2020) is a relatively basic small city car, ideal for urban runabout duties and well suited to younger drivers embarking on car ownership for the first time. Its cute and quirky design appeals to urban car owners, and there's even a quasi-convertible Airspace version with a cloth roof that rolls back to create an open-top car. Inside, it's all pretty basic with hard, shiny plastics and cloth seats, but that's understandable for a budget car. The second-generation C1 benefits from shared mechanical components with Toyota and Peugeot, built on the same production line, ensuring good reliability.
The C1 is powered by efficient three-cylinder petrol engines, with both 1.0-litre and 1.2-litre units officially returning in excess of 65mpg and achieving around 55mpg in real-world use. Road tax is very low, with cars registered before 31 March 2017 exempt from tax completely, whilst later cars cost £150 per year. Insurance costs are also low, falling into groups 7 to 11, making it ideal for younger drivers. However, the C1 doesn't offer a compelling proposition in any one area when compared to its rivals, and some alternatives offer distinct advantages in practicality, driving dynamics, or warranty coverage.
Best for: Younger drivers embarking on car ownership, urban commuters seeking an affordable and easy-to-park city car, and those attracted to its distinctive design and funky Airspace variant.
Not ideal for: Buyers needing a spacious boot, those prioritising driving dynamics, or those seeking an extended warranty comparable to Hyundai and Kia offerings.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Citroën C1 | 3/5 | 3.4/5 | 30.8% | 3.9/5 |
| Kia Picanto | 4/5 | 4.5/5 | 34.2% | 4.3/5 |
| Hyundai i10 | 5/5 | 4.4/5 | 35.8% | 4.5/5 |
| Volkswagen Up | 4/5 | 4.5/5 | 39.5% | 4.4/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the C1 if: You're a younger driver seeking an affordable and easy-to-park city car, you're attracted to its distinctive design, or you're interested in the funky Airspace roll-top variant.
Consider alternatives if: You need a spacious boot, prioritise driving dynamics, or seek an extended warranty comparable to Hyundai and Kia offerings.
Competitive Position: The Citroën C1 (2014-2020) is a charming city car with distinctive styling and low running costs, but it faces stiff competition in the small car segment. Whilst it excels in urban manoeuvrability and affordability, rivals like the Hyundai i10 offer superior driving dynamics and warranty coverage, the Kia Picanto provides better value, and the Volkswagen Up delivers more badge appeal and practicality. The C1 should be on your shortlist, but don't be surprised if you prefer one of its rivals.
