Citroen C1 Review

Comfort and Equipment3 out of 5

The C1 Evie shares its class-leading city car comfort levels with the standard car, which means it's decent enough as long as you don't expect to waft around.

Anyone much over six foot won't find the Evie that comfortable to drive, but the C1's carefully planned interior frees up a fair amount of headroom and legroom in the front and the rear is fine for shorter journeys.

However, that means that bootspace is at a premium: 139 litres with the rear seats in place, expanding to 712 litres when flat.

Equipment is also basic, with a standard MP3-compatible CD player/radio even on base models, heater (which can reduce the Evie's range by up to 8%), and electric windows on VTR trim models.
