At last! Citroen's C1 has hit UK roads, and at ΂£6,495 the three-door 1.0-litre petrol Vibe is the cheapest of the new family of PSA-Toyota-built city cars. Meanwhile, the five-door version is ΂£500 less than Peugeot's 107, at ΂£6,845. Standard kit is basic, but includes power-steering, twin airbags, electronic brakeforce distribution and stability control, as well as a CD player.

The Rhythm model driven here adds electric front windows, side airbags, velour seats, a rev counter and remote central locking, plus 50/50 split-fold seats. At ΂£7,345, it is identically priced and equipped to the 107 Urban. The C1's 1.0-litre petrol engine sounds good and performs well; a 55bhp 1.4-litre HDi diesel arrives in a few weeks.

The driving experience is identical to the excellent Peugeot/Toyota Aygo, yet the C1's low price sets it apart. But has the Citroen got what it takes to be crowned top of the class? It is a tough question to answer; check out our exclusive 107 drive for more.

FIRST OPINION

    The C1 has maintained Citroen's value reputation, undercutting its Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo brothers by some margin. The base Vibe lacks a few niceties, but if you want a great car for little outlay, the C1 is difficult to beat.
 

AT A GLANCE

    The C1 comes in a choice of three trims, while buyers can opt for a three-door, as well as the five-door driven here.
    Engine: 1.0-litre 3cyl, 68bhp
    Price: £7,345
