Do you rate the Citroen C1?
I have really appreciated your advice in the past so I would be so grateful if you could advise me again now.
I have driven various Honda Jazz models for 20 years. My current one is 11 yrs old and it has been brilliant. I’d love a newer model but they seem too big for me now and I'm considering a Citroen C1 1.2 petrol. What would your opinion be of a car like this, please?

We're glad to hear that our advice has helped over the years.
We'd say it is definitely worth going for the 1.2-litre version of the C1 as it's more relaxing on motorway trips, the 1.0-litre struggles to keep pace with traffic and gets noisy. It's also worth looking at the Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 108 if you haven't already as these are the same car underneath, just with slightly different designs. It's also worth considering the Hyundai i10 1.2 and Kia Picanto 1.25 - they might not be as stylish as the C1 but they are more refined and slightly better built.

Stylish, good quality interior. Roomier and more mature than its predecessor. Refined for a small car and decent to drive.
