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 plastics and cloth seats, but that's understandable for a budget-focused vehicle. The second-generation C1 continues the successful collaboration between Citroën, Toyota, and Peugeot, sharing mechanical components and production lines whilst maintaining distinct designs.
The C1 is powered by efficient three-cylinder petrol engines with a five-speed gearbox, delivering over 65mpg officially and around 55mpg in real-world use. Road tax is very low, with pre-2017 models exempt and post-2017 cars liable for just £150 annually. Insurance costs are also low, falling into groups 7 to 11, making it ideal for younger and older drivers alike. However, the C1 doesn't offer a compelling proposition in any one area when compared to rivals like the VW Up, Hyundai i10, and Kia Picanto, which offer better driving dynamics, more practicality, or superior warranties.
Best for: Young drivers embarking on car ownership, urban commuters seeking an affordable and easy-to-park city car, and budget-conscious buyers attracted to its distinctive design.
Not ideal for: Those prioritising boot space, drivers wanting the finest handling, or buyers seeking longer new car warranties 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 | 30.4% | 3.9/5 |
| Kia Picanto | 4/5 | 4.5/5 | 34.4% | 4.3/5 |
| Hyundai i10 | 5/5 | 4.4/5 | 36.1% | 4.5/5 |
| Volkswagen Up | 4/5 | 4.5/5 | 39.2% | 4.4/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the C1 if: You're a young driver embarking on car ownership, an urban commuter seeking an affordable and easy-to-park city car, or a budget-conscious buyer attracted to its distinctive and quirky design.
Consider alternatives if: You prioritise boot space, want the finest handling, or require longer new car warranties comparable to Hyundai and Kia offerings.
Competitive Position: The Citroën C1 (2014-2020) is a charming and affordable city car, but it struggles to offer a compelling proposition in any one area when compared to its rivals. Whilst the Hyundai i10 is a very good car to drive, the Volkswagen Up has greater badge appeal, and the Kia Picanto offers a superior warranty. The C1 should be on your shortlist, but its rivals often deliver distinct advantages. Its main strengths lie in its distinctive design, ease of parking, and low running costs, making it ideal for first-time buyers and urban drivers willing to compromise on practicality and driving dynamics.
