New C1

[Sime]

After test driving a C1 and sitting in what seems like hundreds of other cars I have to say I find it the best. I'm looking at purchasing a black 1.4 HDi Rhythm today or tomorrow. I wouldn't buy another Peugeot as my current one has been poor quality from the start, and the Toyota's dont have such a nice front in my opinion.

 

I do fairly long trips, work is a 40 mile round trip but I tested it on the motorway and I feel that I can live with the ride and being a diesel engine it should hack this pretty well.

 

It just seems very good, basic, no fancy gadgets to go wrong, the saving on running costs comapred to my 1.9D 206 is immense, and I'm a 23 year old male - I don't think it's girly at all :lol:

 

Hope to chat to some of you on here,

Simon

I am very pleased with my c1 vibe petrol. The best thing about it is the way it accelerates so effortlessly. . The reveiws say that there is no advantage in buying the deisel c1 and the heavy deisel engine makes the front of the car heavy and spoils the feel of it. You have to do 100,0000 to recover the extra cost of buying the deisel. You have your own reasons for choosing a deisel but I would suggest that you test drive the petrol c1 first before making your mind up. The servicing intervals I think are wider apart on the deisel so this may save some costs. Check with the dealer. Whichever you choose I am sure that you will like it.

Got a bit carried away with the zeros !. 100,000 miles is the mileage to recover the extra cost of the deisel c1. If your motivation to buy the deisel is enviromental. The petrol C1 is no worse for the enviroment than the deisel. Deisels are not really enviromentally friendly in any case - new petrol engines are as clear or cleaner than deisels. Pm10s ( microscopic soot particles from deisel engines) are very bad for human health. Just look at the back of a new deisel car when its accelerating hard - clouds of cancer causing soot!

I know what you mean, it's totally personal reasons - I've always had diesel and can't stand driving small petrol cars any more. I did have a test drive, but this deisel C1 reminds me of my old trusty deisel Citroen AX from when I was 17. As I say, I know completely what you're saying, but it's completely personal choise.... as you say though, I will love it :lol:

I picked it up tonight - great car, very nice handling and the engine isn't as noisy as some reviews say for a diesel. It feels very firm and well made.

 

I phone the previous owner and she was getting 84 to the gallon on long runs, I hope to have it for a long time!

 

See you all on the forums.
