As this brilliant deal from Oneswoop.com highlights, the Citroen C1 is one of the most affordable city cars on the market.
However that doesn’t mean that the little C1 is anything like a ‘budget’ car.

As the description implies, the C1 is a small car and is in fact one of the lightest models in the segment which means engine options can be slightly misleading.
As a general rule most people would expect a 1.0-litre engine to be underpowered, and in the majority of cases you’d probably be right however not with the C1.
Because of its compact dimensions and lightweight design, the 1.0-litre engine has no problem thrusting the French model around the city. It’s also economical and efficient too (62.8mpg and 103g/km for CO2 emissions) – vital characteristics for any city car.
The C1 is built in cooperation with and on the same platform as the Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 107 as well. That means any reliability issues regarding the model should be allayed given the wealth of knowledge and experience behind it.
