A small hatchback surprisingly packed full of life, the French-made Citroën C1 is a great first car alternative to the sometimes dull German alternatives.
PROS
Well specced; Nippy engine in lower gears; More character than other entry-level cars
CONS
A bit expensive; Looks not for everyone
VERDICT
With prices starting at R168 900 for the Citroën C1, it may be on the slightly expensive side when compared to the Volkswagen Up! (R143 000) and Hyundai i10 (R150 000). That said, it packs in a ton of extras, should you go for the Airspace Feel edition (R194 900), which from a specs perspective, outdoes many of its competitors. Added to this, is a surprisingly powerful feeling engine, despite being a 1.2 litre option, as well as offering a supremely comfortable ride.
