“The Citroen C1 is good looking, frugal and fun, but ultimately it cannot match the Skoda Citigo's high quality interior.” - Auta a dopravní prostředky
you complain about citroen's reliability, but fails to notice that the engine and running gear are supplied by toyota - a brand which is renowned for its reliability.
Motoring Evolution
And the top ten list of second-hand unreliability in the UK is mostly German cars and a few Vauxhall’s!
Exactly, same car underneath - this guy has clearly not done his homework!
@@anthonyenglish9298 the new ones seem different? the 1.2 is a peugeot PSA engine, 1.0 the 1krfe that is japanese.
@@anthonyenglish9298 he rarely does (when it's not some +600hp boy's toy). He was the charismatic eye candy. Definitely not like that guy at Kelley Blue Book 🤷
Love that the other car beeped at him to get off the roundabout lol
Great review. My 68 horsepower C1 does really well on the motorway, feels nice and steady even at 120 km/h (75.4 mph), although wind may affect it a bit. Not a sports car by any stretch of the imagination but it drives well on my country lanes. The build quality is Toyota.
I agree. I've got the 1.0 and once up to 70mph or so it doesn't feel like it's struggling at all and is relatively refined and quiet. Does struggle on hills and overtaking is sketchy but what does one expect? It's a nice little car to drive and I've had zero problems.
Matt has grown an inch. He was 5' 10" when he tested the old C1.
Half an inch
Mat loves roundabouts.
But that other driver did clearly not.
***** Who wears A&F these days apart from Clapham queens?
Martin Jones Who is so shallow and vain that they really care? It's a car review not a fashion show for people with huge egos.
Charlie Chaplin I believe Chrstian mrclep made the comment not me. All I am saying is that his taste in cars and general style is very provincial He likes anything Audi, and the new Golf, and dislikes anything French). It was just a funny observation. Unless you wear A&F, in which case I feel sorry for you ;)
Is ThAt A mOtHeRfUcKiNg JoJo ReFeReNcE!?!?!?!??!
Great review by Matt again, totally informative, with loads of views in and around the car. He should be on TV more often!
Believe this or not my wife and I who are not small people have recently purchased a 2017 plate 1.0 vtr feel as a second car mainly for me and im blown away with the head and width space in the driving cab area.Very comfortable and drives very well with no blind spots.Even with 4 people in the car our little 1.0 ltr is still nippy and and get up to 60 on a carriage way pretty quickly without embarassment We have two children which there is enough leg room for about 3 years of growth (aged 10 and 8 ) before we decide to upgrade.Downside is adults will struggle in the back.Running costs dead cheap and over 450 miles on a full tank £46 to fill.👍💪.
My dyslexic brain read the licence plate as "KITKAT"
When I saw your comment I was like wait isn't it what's written on it 😭😂
Thanks I got the C1 and it was fun watching this.
just took a c1 5door feel out on a 2 year lease which works out about £130 per month. very happy, cheaper than buying new and covers depreciation value and includes warranty for the duration, no mot, no Road tax and road side assistance :)
So you have just spent 3120 on a car you will not own you can pick the old c1 up for 1500 with low miles
You said that the sun was out... well, I guess it was the British sun!
🤣🤣
Beats the i10 on looks alone.
Steve ibb Correct. Im 48, had loads of small cars, but not one of these new C1, Aygo, 108 models. Im looking to get a cheap shopping car and this seems a good buy. Had the new Aygo as a courtesy car and even though only 1 litre, it was very nippy, good acceleration up to 50mph due to it being very light and fun to drive. Ive had Audis and allsorts of fancy fast cars but to be honest, I cant justify a pricey car these days. Only do about 3000 miles a year.
This Citroën looks like it's in constant pain...
I really liked that video, please make more of your videos 7-8 minutes or more!
Extremely good looking for a hatchback and good interior
I like the look of this car. Better than its stablemates.
Well I've heard the 1.0 is the better engine. It's got a timing chain instead of a belt on the 1.2 and it's a Toyota engine not a french one. 74 mpg is possible on longish runs at 50 odd mph I've personally achieved similar numbers but realistically 60+ is more doable day to day depending on the roads and how you drive it.
I like how this guy reviews cars.
best part starts at 7:20
2.17
Did anyone else notice that the app you need is 1p short of £70!!! FOR AN APP???
I have ordered a new Citroen C1 Flair 3 door in Pacific Green from my local Stoneacre group with a £4250 Citroen distribution off list price.
7:27 Me parece una solución funcional, y estética, hermosa, casi nunca visto en un vehículo que no sea coupe...
alexis castagno Estoy de acuerdo. Acabo de comprar uno! I agree. I just bought one myself!
At 8:27 Matt mentions there is a 'big' downside with the Aygo that's mentioned in the review, what is it??
On the mini roundabout, impatient Mercedes driver, never seen one of those before!
You are fun! Is this car a good idea for a 3 hour road trip on the motorway? Looks like a good time for the small roads but wondering how it'll go for the long drive?!
Will you guys do a review of the new Smart Fortwo once it gets released in the UK? I can't wait to see a review for it!
same
The Smart ForTwo is UUUUUUUUUUGLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYY
The MineCartKid With Transformers I never asked for your useless opinion.
i know i just said that that car is ugly
As an American, you guys have some of the coolest cars. 👍😁
The C1 and Aygo are built from the same platform and come from the same factory, no? So they should have similar levels of build quality, yes?
no
I have that exact car! Well I’m getting it on Saturday
Hello! I've got the exact sams model (2019) plate and I'm picking up the keys tuesday! Do you like yours?
if the engines are toyota sourced, then citroen's shocking reliability record shouldn't apply to it
The 1.2 is a PSA engine
Hey. Does it has only one rear light while reversing?
Looking at buying one of these but I would avoid the 1.2 as it's a PSA engine & not Daihatsu, also it's wet belt driven instead of chain like the 1 litre Daihatsu engine.
The 1 litre engine is Toyota. I've just bought a 2019 Vti one. Little more horsepower (72 instead of 68) any questions feel free to ask!
@@jordanpaige7329 he's right, the engine is a daihatsu engine. 1kr fe
Cheap Day Return agreed. I was advised against the 1.2 and have been impressed with my 1.0 c1. Sure its a bit sluggish but it will cruise along at motorway speeds all day long and is relatively quiet and refined.
He says he is in the "Feel" model at the start but he is actually in the "Flair" model...
No wonder he has scratched his iPhone, look how he toss around those bottles and keep squeezing them with force into those spaces. I'd never let Mat borrow my car nor my phone.
I like the car and i'm so proud tha it was designed by an italian design: Carlo Bonzanigo :)
Love the roundabout test haha
What are the apps I can get for the navigation on the screen?
Hold on are you suggesting Citroën cars should be avoided because of your surveys? I still have my 2013 1.2 vti C3 that has has had no problems since I've left the show room! Ok, so it's not feeling quite as punchy as it did when it brand new only because I've missed a service schedule in back in march. Anyway I'm going to your site to give an honest review.
Wow I didn’t know mat was on this channel a long time ago
Its really cute!!
А вот и первый русскоязычный тест НОВОЙ модели Citroen C1 2017/2018 подъехал - czcams.com/video/xsgEakdPqXc/video.html
Что скажете? Нам кажется, что изменений более чем достаточно и теперь С1 уже совсем не воспринимается как чисто женский автомобиль... и безопасность подтянули и оснащение и т.д. Подробнее - в нашем обзоре!
that iphone screen.. :D
Put air horns on it!
Looks like the app only works with older iPhones, anyone know a more up to date app to use to mirror the phone functions?
THAT HORN IS SO CUTE
It looks like an audi Q3 giving birth to a fiat 500
Am looking for A rear window sheild for citroen ci1 and the boot liner mat( that covers the spare tyre area)! Sorry i dont know the exact names of this product.
Anyone has any idea about about these spares. Please let me know
The horn isn't pathetic, is just like the car: funny!
Errm just
to point out that the mini roundabout turning is illegal.
Poor iPhone, stop abusing it!
Abuse it by all means.
Goes well with the car color too. Now watch this guy abuse the car as he goes around in circles that truck almost hit him.
kia picanto, citroen c1 or peugot 107?
Volkswagen Up!
3:01 hard braking!
What is this down side of new Aygo?
+SwPiotrek they only do a 1.0
lilactime me
Thanks!
i don't have any more data left to watch the video lol so thank you!
💝💖this car, soooooooo much
2:03 ... 945 e-mails... WTF? LOL
I’ve got thousands
GOOD REVIEW... However this is the 1.2 Litre engine .. Can you tell us how the 1.0 Litre 3 Cylinder engine works ... On the motorway ..
Little bit late but i have one and it reached 150 km/h no problem with 2 people in it
that iPhone is preety scratched up!
Suppose that's what happens after being chucked into so many storage compartments.
Good first car??
It is a great first car! I have one and it is quite good in town (haven't driven it on the motorway so can't comment on that) and the Airscape is a great addition. However, just remember that the clutch biting point is actually really high and sharp and I have stalled it multiple times.
I got it right now and love it!

Are these cars reliable ?
Its a Toyota engine so probably :)
Citroen has really improved these days
maybe between all the water bottle shots in these car reviews could cut to all the service stations and queing to pee and put a nice ahhhhh afterwards ;)
Deveria fabricar no brasil
Your not allowed to do a u turn on mini islands.
Its Mostly engineered by Toyota should be reliable
you do understand that PSA is actually more reliable than german brands right? they've been scoring way higher in recent years.
The 1.0 engine struggling to carry me inside 🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately Citroën stopped producing the 1.2 version since October 2016.
The point is that the vast majority of drivers don't really need the 1.2 extra cost. Don't forget emissions, tax insurance, etc. Making the 1.0L the real champion.
On the older model there was a similar approach with a diesel in the collection.
Same, same! It didn't justify and the diesel sales quickly showed that. ;-)
He keeps trowing things around every video - now look at his iPhone screen. Holy shit.
I rented this car in Italy this summer and it had no power at all when they say its a city car leave it there not good for out of the city at all to pass on the motor way.
The MOOBS bit made me end the vidieo earli
Good grief Mr. Watson! your iPhone looks so abused! :O
Bro why they have the back Windows like that 🥴
That is the most off-putting part. It's fine with a black or dark grey car, but looks crap with every other colour I've seen. Overall, however, I don't think this is going to be the car for me especially with its low reliability scoring and the fact that I can't afford to buy new.
Citroen C1 and Toyota Aygo are the same cars. Only looks is different. So reliability should be also the same. Same engine, same mechanical parts, same factory made it.
Hyundai i10 car of the year 2014?!!! Ahahahah get a grip Carbuyer?
you need to get a test drive
I'll pass
945 unread mails!!!
If only the rear had more room. If you have more than one adult friend, good luck.
2:53 voice break
Those cloth roofs just look tacky, and they just get so dirty and gross looking, just get the regular one.
A good used buy, get it under 3 years old and pay for Citroen’s own extended warranty - cheaper than buying the identical Toyota.
Since when did air conditioning become a "must" in the british isles?
Heatwaves
Hot flushes lol
Yes, particularly on a car with canvas roof! Notice I had a black phII Twingo in Portugal where AC is a must. Even than the canvas roof did an amazing job. In a matter of seconds, the oven hot parked car gets nice and cool. The convection clear the hot air in seconds!! On the British Isles I'm pretty sure it's more of a gimmick! LOL 😂
For the one day of the year we see sun. We use it...then realise it's broken and a waste of space .
the car well, lets be honest, is ugly ,but the interior and the roof looks good, good car in my opinión ;) but the front is ugly xDD
Nooooh it's so cute😂
Anisah Zainab ox XD rare loveliness
I have to be honest - I hate the design... I get that French manufacturers want to stand out and sometimes they do a REALLY got job but with the C1 they really blew it
Students (because around my area, they're quite stupid and are attracted to shiny things) and old people with grown up grnadchildren (because they don't need to drive them about all the time)
This is a perfect car for a 17 year old... How can you be so condescending and say "likes shiny things" because they buy a good first car?
3:02 Truck going "WTF with this white car!"
god this feels so 2014
The face look like the ASIMO Honda robot!
What no bananas?
This idea that a car is an absolute no-no without an AC is rubbish and over-exaggerated. I bought a C1 last November and it came without AC (special offer - saved €1600 off the original price but came without LED lights, rev counter and AC). I must say that during the summer months it is quite airy when driving with the windows half down or full down. Yes having an AC is a luxury and IS more comfortable but you will definitely survive without it. Without AC you save lots of fuel.
Some drivers are a bit soft mate
I leave in a cold country and do loads of long journeys so Defo need heating
Old C1 was just rubbish. This... is actually impressively better.
I have driven a C1 for 12 years and it has 230.000 km. I travelled all around Europe with it and had no problem. I payed only for oil, filters every 15.000 km and gas.
945 mails? Better read em Kappa
Matt 945 unread mails in your inbox. Wow!
Kinda looks like a Nissan Juke from the front
What does he need air conditioning for? Is he driving it across the Sahara desert?
+Londonfogey We're not sure what he does on the weekend...
+Londonfogey yes i was going to ask u need aircon were i live in Australia were it hits 40c often but in the uk ?
+MegaRyan123456 I suppose if you use the car every day for long stop-start urban journeys in southern England you might appreciate aircon. Eg in London in summer it can get very humid and uncomfortable sometimes. But for about 50 weeks of the year you don't need AC. Then again I'm a spartan type and don't even like having heating on in the car in winter - I prefer to drive with the window open!
+Londonfogey lol i dont think someone in london has ever seen humid and heat and uncomfortable hahah but its all what u know i guess :P
+Londonfogey were i worked the other week it was 47.9 degrees c and 92 percent humidty and when i was there last year they had there rekord broken on the 1st of jan 2015 it was 49.8 degrees c
and 90 percent
Is this carwow?
Y U NO ACTIVA? Dammit Citroën!
A pity Citroen doesnt' sell in the United States anymore.
You said moobs.
Voice crack 2:52
Mat Watson: Then there’s the horn. Which is a bit pathetic. (honks horn)
Citroën C1: (beep, beep)
Mat: See what I mean?
Yooka: (says nothing)
Also Yooka: Run away from the C1's horn!
The headlamps look like some blown up cheeks.
Citroén is bad for reliability?! I think not we've had a 2012 c1 for 3 years and not had a single issue what so ever so get your facts right mate
Citroen don't just make 1 car you know
+CZ “czarno98” CZ I know
That's because your Citroen was a full on Citroen. The C1 isn't. The chassis and running gear are Toyota.
Same with me
We had a c1for 5years and nothing went wrong good car we have berlingo now and just had it 6 years and nothing has gon wrong with it so well happy with it
That center console looks like a face!!!
