This 3,43 meter long French automobile with its eye-catching, transparent tailgate is a car for fun times.

The Citroën C1 has crystal colored back lights and a convex shape. The three and five-door variants have a trunk with storage capacity for 751, power steering, ABS and CSC for safe braking in all production lines, speeds up to 157 km/h, a sassy design and a robust exterior. This is Citroën’s smallest model, developed for the European market and made in the Czech Republic, structurally identical with the Toyota Aygo and the Peugeot 107. The look is thoughtfully conceived, but in the end, it is the low fuel consumption that has catapulted the C1, together with its two sister models, to the top three positions in the environmental rankings of the German auto association. The gas engine C1 1.0 uses an average of a mere 4,6 liters for every 100 kilometers. On its Web page, Citroën very fairly differentiates between fuel consumption within and outside city limits. In the diesel engine version (C1 HD1 55) the car uses only 4,1 liters. Prices start at 9.190 Euro.
