Citroën has truly become Europe’s styling leader for small cars, and the C1 is no exception. Although essentially the same car as its Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 107 counterparts (due to joint development between the companies), the C1 easily has the best lines of the bunch. The Citroën family styling works well on the C1, which is a tiny car by any measure but whose styling gives it outsized character—and an outsized grille. What’s not outsized is the weight—at just 1,800 lbs., the C1 is one of the lightest cars on the road. Less weight means that each horsepower has less to pull around—with just 68 horsepower on tap, the weight savings makes a big difference. Keep the momentum up and the C1’s predictable handling may carry you to victory over other heavier competitors.
