Good standard specification for a low price, cheap to run and cheap to insure, surprisingly mature driving experience and capable out of town too.
Cheap to run, improved interior quality and refinement over previous C1, available with retractable fabric roof, decent at motorway speeds.
Plenty of kit as standard. Quirky looks. Very reliable.
