    I am a driving school instructor in my c1 I have covered 89000 in that time I have replaced the clutch twice myselfe it's not a hard job .
    This car has only seen a citroen garage twice 1st time inspection 1
    I service this car every 10000 miles I have replaced the following
    cluch as I said twice and ineed to replace again soon (well what do you expect i teach people to drive)
    front discs and pads
    I have replaced front pads twice again a very simple job
    i have brought a code scanner from e bay that reads the fault codes yet to find any fault code's
    car starts first time every time
    it's a bloody great little car just don't take it to a citroen garage find a local mechanic whoi will find this car very easy to work on
    500 miles 2nd time they tried to replace front seat cove firstly they ordered wrong type 2nd time they didn't get it fitted correctly 3rd time sucess.
    I use to work in the motor tarde i would never take my car to a dealership these place's are always looking for more work on your car than is necessary.

    The Citroen C1 1.0 diesel version has a lot of torque output and coupled with the low kerb weight makes the car really nippy. It easily accelerates up quite steep hills. Getting 62 mpg with a 75% urban / 25% extra-urban driving split. The cabin is exceptionally roomy for a small car, plenty of leg room / head room. Leg room is good in the back (as long as the front seats aren't right back). Suspension is on the stiff side so a bit bumpy here and there but also makes the car handle well. Extra mo ...

    bought a Citroen C1 for my daughters 18th birthday
    in later stages of february.
    it had 31000 on the clock and was in good condition.
    i drove it and commented on the height of the clutch before the
    car started to move but was told this was normal.
    surprise surprise 5 months later the clutch is done in and is not covered by the warranty because of the 12000 mile nonsense.
    it is now going to cost £526.82p to fix.
    i asked if they could have checked the clutch before i bought the car and was t ...

    Our Citroen C1 (June 2007) has developed a slipping clutch after only 35000 miles - most of which has been done on motorways, not around town.

    I have taken the car into the Citroen garage this week, and have told them that I expect the clutch to be replaced under warranty, but they say that this is unlikely as the clutch is only guaranteed for 12000 miles. If the garage cannot replace the clutch under warranty, I will take this to Trading Standards, as I don ' t believe that 35000 miles on one ...

    I bought this Citroen C1 1.0 car from new in 2006 and cannot fault it for anytbing. The running costs have to be the best part. My version did have metallic paint etc but NO electric windows or central locking which I thought was pretty much standard in new cars these days!! Get little car but priced a little high!

    We have a Berlingo multispace and I wanted the Citroen C1 just to get me to work and for running around town. I love the Berlingo and was worried about the vast change in size but from the test drive I was hooked. Loads of space in the front for two people. It will take four people comfortably on a short journey. The luggage room is small if you try using large holdalls, change your packing habits, use smaller bags and you'll get two people and enough luggage for a fortnights self catering holi ...

    I would not buy another Citroen. I purchased the Citroen C1 vibe April 2007, within 15 months the following problems occurred; clutch was slipping, the dealership adjusted the clutch cable. Inside 2 days the clutch was slipping again. After dealership investigation the clutch was replaced due to a default in manufacturing. Returning from a holiday found liquid beneath the vehicle, the AA was called and advised not to drive the vehicle so the car was towed to the dealership. The dive shaft seals ...

    Overall a great, efficient, city car - good value for money.
    Acceleration could of course be a lot better, but not with the efficiency of the car.
    Fun to drive in town with a great turning circle for easy parking. Easy to reverse too with good visibility.

    I bought my Caldera black C1 diesel without even a test drive and specifically for its appearance, economy, low insurance and tax.
    Having bought it new collecting it on my birthday on the 5th June 2007 heavily discounted by Citroen to £7,495 which included the paint because the car was already in stock in their showroom.
    It has surpassed all my expectations with economy I could only dream about.

    A lucky purchase on ebay of a refurbished set of Aygo sport alloys for a more than reasona ...

    I looked at both the Aygo and the 107 Peugeot. The C1 was the better of the three as with a slight modification (and permission from your insurance company) it is possible to fit an extra seatbelt in the back to accomodate a small child. With the Aygo and 107 it is not possible to do this as I noticed that there is a metal strut in the middle of the rear seat, to allow for split fold down of the seat.
    I am very pleased with my purchase. I am looking forward to many happy years motoring with thi ...

    What is it?
    The Citroen C1 is a car jointly developed and produced by Toyota and the psa group (Citroen & Peugeot) all the cars are built to Toyotas high standards and as Toyota regularly come near the top of most owner satisfaction tests that's another plus. The purpose of this car is cheap practical motoring with road tax at £40 per year, group 1insurance, 61.9mpg combined the car is also designed to need little in the way of maintenance due to its relative simplicity and ingenious desi ...
