| DRIVING RATING: |
 |
Driven in its intended urban habitat, the C1 excels. Its power steering and large glass area make parking a cinch and, while there's some roll under heavy cornering, the C1 is a point-and-shoot little runner. For a fairly unsophisticated suspension set-up, the ride isn't too choppy either, soaking up ridges and ruts well. Brake, clutch and throttle pedals are a bit on the soft and spongy side, but their application is progressive and the brakes bite confidently.
The petrol C1's low-rev response is good and this is a flexible engine, so you're rarely stuck between gears at town speeds. Adequately tall gearing in top also means that motorway cruising isn't such a frenzied, high-revving affair.
There's plenty of legroom to stretch out, but the driver's seat isn't height adjustable, so some taller drivers may find they're sitting a bit higher than they'd like.
