Citroen Ami

The Citroën Ami is a cheeky, ultra-compact city runabout that turns parking into a non-event and makes traffic feel almost friendly. It won't thrill you with speed or luxury, but as an economical, fuss-free way to nip around town and save on congestion, it's a clever little solution for urban life—with personality to spare.

I drive a Formentor myself and I'm very satisfied with it. Although it's a relatively heavy car, it feels surprisingly light on its feet and can be steered confidently through corners. At the same time it's also perfectly suited for relaxed drives. But as soon as you start driving a bit more sportily, it responds instantly and shows what it's capable of.

For me, a mature man, the "civilian" version was enough — an automatic, very well-equipped, with the 150‑hp engine in Magnetic Tech.
