Detailed analysis of the Citroën C1 5p VTi 68 ETG Feel · 69 CV (2014-2016)
General description
The 2015 Citroën C1 is the personification of the city car with a heart. Small, bold, and full of personality, this 5-door C1 in its Feel trim is not just a means of transport; it's a statement of intent to conquer the concrete jungle with a smile.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the C1 feels like a small, lively go-kart. Its 69 horsepower, delivered by a spirited 3-cylinder engine, is more than enough to move with surprising agility through the city. It doesn't aim for speed records but rather to offer a fun and uncomplicated driving experience. The ETG5 automatic gearbox prioritizes the comfort of not using the clutch in traffic, although its shifts sometimes remind us of its robotic nature. It's a car that connects you with the pulse of the city, light and easy to take to any corner.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is pure French audacity. The look of its split headlights gives it an unmistakable and friendly face, while its compact dimensions and five doors combine style with unexpected practicality. Inside, the atmosphere is simple and functional, but with touches of color that brighten up every journey. It's a car that doesn't go unnoticed, a design object meant to be enjoyed every day.
Technology and features
The C1's technology focuses on making life easier. The electric power steering is a delight for maneuvering and parking. Although not a technological marvel, it equips the essentials for safety and comfort of its time. The biggest technological highlight is its ETG automatic transmission, an ingenious solution to automate the manual gearbox, freeing the driver from the stress of urban traffic jams and allowing them to focus on enjoying the ride.
Competition
In its small universe, the C1 competes directly with its platform siblings, the Peugeot 108 and the Toyota Aygo, each with its own character. Beyond its family, it faces icons like the stylish Fiat 500 and tough contenders like the practical Hyundai i10, the Kia Picanto, or the sober Volkswagen up!. Each offers a different vision of the perfect city car, but the C1 plays the card of bold design and charm.
Conclusion
The Citroën C1 is a purchase made with the heart. It is the ideal companion for those who value style, agility, and an incredibly low running cost. Its cheerful character and ease of driving in the city more than compensate for its modest power or a gearbox with a personality of its own. It's more than a car; it's an intelligent and charming mobility solution, perfect for everyday urban life.
