Last Red Bug Instalment

[red bug]

Last instalment of the wife’s little red bug as we are now awaiting a new C1 to replace her present C1. Mileage is now 43k, the red bug still has no rattles, squeaks or knocks and drives like the day the wife picked it up, the car has never leaked water or had any mechanical problems. It does need yet another set of front tyres and the inside could do with a really good clean but we were offered a really good deal on a VTR in electric blue (the wife had fallen in love with the colour). I was interested in the ’splash’ special addition but the delivery date was around mid July the base colour was white but extra for the blue and with no real discount so it was a non starter. The VTR was offered with free metallic paint some discount and with a 4k px for our 5 door red vibe (we paid just over 6k OTR 3 years ago) the deal was done. I have to agree with the wife that the rev counter looks a bit silly and a bit of an after thought but the seats look a lot nicer than the ones in her vibe. I will end by saying that the C1 has been a great little car and as yet has no real competition for the price or (in our experience) reliability; I hope the next (blue) city bug performs as well as the little red bug. Next instalment will be on first impressions of the new style VTR

Thats a good price for your C1, its is a buyers market at the moment, with the dealers desperate to sell.

 

As for the rev counter, well it looks really sporty looking on the dash.

 

When i go for my next city bug soon, (when my 3 years are up), I am definately getting that rev counter this time ;)

 

I am not bothered whether it is a C1, 107 or Aygo, as long as the price is right.
