Is a Citroen C1 a good small car for an older driver?
My wife, who is aged 73, needs to change her aged Peugeot 207 CC and has seen a 2016 Citroen C1 at a local dealership - priced at £6690. The car appears well looked after and has covered 16,700 miles. She drives between 3000 and 4000 miles per year. Mobility is not a problem. Would you consider this a suitable, reliable and comfortable vehicle or should she look at alternative small cars? Thank you for your help.

The Citroen is a decent small car. But I'd probably choose something that's more comfortable and still has some of its manufacturer warranty left on its books, like the Kia Picanto: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/kia/picanto-2017/
A new Picanto is sold with a seven-year-warranty as standard. Buying used, £6700 will get you a five-door model from 2017 with a big chunk of that warranty remaining: www.honestjohn.co.uk/cars-for-sale/search/Kia/Pica...0

Improves on the 206 CC in every single area. A quite impressive coupe-cabriolet. Best of the CCs this size.

Cheap to run, improved interior quality and refinement over previous C1, available with retractable fabric roof, decent at motorway speeds.
Remains one of the freshest-looking city cars. Nimble to drive. Long warranty.
