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.
