Citroen C1 2005 - 2014 - Poland, advantages, disadvantages

Citroen C1

Citroen C1 is produced from 2005 to 2014. The Citroen C1 was developed as part of the B-zero project of PSA-Peugeot Citroen and Toyota.
Peugeot 107 is identical to the Citroen C1, except for the front bumper and front and rear lights, while Toyota Aygo a little more distant, but still similar.

The cars come in four-door variants and three or five in the hatchback version.
A significant element of the five-door Citroen C1 is the large taillights that extend from the edge of the rear door to the rear window.
The Citroen C1 is powered by a one-liter three-cylinder petrol engine with 67 hp, which is very economical. Consumes 4.6 l / 100 km.
The diesel variant offers a 1.4 HDi 8V 54 hp engine with a fuel consumption of 4.2 l / 100 km.
The second is the most economical car, both for gasoline and diesel.

In 2010, Citroen withdrew about 100 Citroen C000 cars from the market due to a brake on the accelerator pedal, following Toyota, which had to do the same with its Aygo series. The failure was that the accelerator pedal did not return to its initial position after the pressure was stopped, or it was very slow to return.

In 2009, the Citroen C1 experienced its first facelift, at the same time as the Peugeot 107 i Toyota Aygo.
The front bumper was changed - a new grille was fitted, the equipment was further refreshed, the seat covers and ventilation controls were also changed, and all models received new colored front bumpers and new wheel rims.
There are also three new body colors on offer.

In 2012, he experienced his second facelift.
The make-up front features daytime running lights, a more massive bumper and a shorter engine hood, while new seat covers and richer trim are put on the inside. The most important novelty is the reduction in fuel consumption of the 3hp 67-cylinder gasoline from 4.6l to 4.3l / 100km.

Citroen The C1 boasts a low number of failures, whether mechanical or electronic, which is why it ranked first in 2010 in terms of non-perishability at the largest German Automobile Club (ADAC).
