Citroën AMI - 14 Year Old Drivers Can Do One! It's Mine! 

Well, you got your wish! Citreon announced they're releasing the car in the UK in Spring 2022 and are taking pre-orders from today! 😋

Driving starts at the 5 minute mark and is followed by a 9 minute video of 2 grown men giggling hysterically. Absolutely top stuff!! More please :)

Being partially disabled myself this "car" would be ideal for me and I'm sure many other who suffer with mobility.

Love it. This is perfect for our roughly 4000 mile a year local town trips, all 30mph max roads. Easy to park and negates a need for a second car. Main EV for any out of town stuff. There must be loads of folk in a similar position. Definitely buying one soon as they bring it here, well done Citreon.

This is the future of cars, I can see these and cars like them being everywhere in the future

This is by far and away the best review of the Ami. You guys just 'get' it totally.

This reminds me of the 'Jonnycab' from Total Recall.

2 Kids in a sweet shop comes to mind .

For some reason this whole review reminded me of Mr Bean and his mini, you even look a little like him :) brilliant. i wouldn't mind having this car for my daily commute, that's all i need from a to b.

Nice . just handy for going to the shop, doctors and so on .

The double take reaction at the maccys collection window was priceless

Glad to see citroen back to their bonkers gallic best. I love it! Proper French madness x

I can see them selling a ton of these in London, Birmingham, Manchester & Edinburgh etc. With a low lease cost and these cities all implementing zero emissions regs, you can see councils and PubSec orgs buying fleets of them. Great work Citroen and excellent vid guys!!

I'll have mine next month! Hello from France :)

A new measurement unit was born: Smiles per Mile ;-) I love this!

The 14 year old kid in all of us wants one of these.

The cell phone infotaiment system should be in all cars.Makes far more sense than an etch a sketch attached to the dashboard

I watched the review on Hubnut first and awaited for your review to confirm that this car is a hoot and for 6 grand brings a smile to my face Smile per mile I think it will be a pathfinder for EV motoring

Imagine going on holiday to the coast in this country (or France) and renting one during the week to get around and see places of interest!

Such a sweet looking "car". It's definitely the sort of thing you could expect to see in droves in larger city centres; just think of the difference to the air quality in central London alone if people drove electric quadricycles instead of conventional cars with ICEs. It's not as quick as the Twizy 80, but perhaps that's a good thing - I certainly wouldn't want to be overtaken by lorries on a dual carriageway.

Fourteen-year-olds driving around the roads, the stuff of nightmares.

Great review of the Ami, looks great fun, would be ideal for Central London.

Looks like Citroen have reverted their "Father Jack" design team again! "CAR!!!" Fantastic!

I own a Twizy and I really want an Ami too

Fun video and vehicle. Should be standard mode of transport in cities.

this will be a game changer for the teen to twenties market that seems to be giving up on personal mobility, I will definitely be looking at this for my daughter, go on then sometimes me as well!

In the uk it's 16 you have to pass your cbt (compulsory basic training) and display L plates when driving I don't know if you can take passengers....

I like the way the two of you swooped seats without opening the doors!

As standard, my twizy will do 52mph and with the PowerBox it will do 72mph and a lot better acceleration. Do you think either a mapping box will be available, or will Citroen do a higher power version? 28mph isn’t enough, 40mph possibly otherwise I’d buy one.

hi andy it is new year day after the live stream last night till 1am for me its 11am when i woke up . I have question many people watch the live stream for hours does not deleting it effect watch time total and so effect channel a long video in your listing is not always bad as some people will just watch to see what happens bjorn nyland has very long road trip videos and at some point some one will watch to the end which helps watch time of his cannel

Don't forget to mention the beautiful spoiler 😇😂👍

I want this in Canada! Would do really well in Montreal.

We’ve just viewed your video again as we’ve ordered the Ami Pop for £8,495 to add to our EV fleet of the Honda e and the SEAT Mii electric; delivery expected in September.🙂

Already submitted the form! This is absolutely perfect for my missus who loves her tiny Toyota iQ and does barely any miles per month.

This is the best Ami test so far, no one gets even close.

A brilliant little "car" - I've been looking forward to this review all Christmas! This would be the car to buy your teenage son or daughter - they could have no aspirations to be a boy/girl racer in it. That alone could save loads of accidents per year - and insurance costs would likely be actually affordable for them.

First video I see where the car looks safe on the small road outside the city too, as long as there are no crazy drivers around. Of course with a bike, such ends even worse. I went to see one and noticed the windows can only be opened "normally" from the inside. The outside is not the kind of hard plastic that breaks in pieces when hit with a hammer. It feels still a bit flexible so it can absorb small hits but also it could be cut by vandals. There is no room behind the passenger seat but behind the driver some narrow space is left for perhaps an laptop, umbrella or jacket, it's not much. But of course without a passenger, there is quite some space for goods or a suitcase. The day one can also lease or rent one or more portable 4 kWh battery stations, the range is no longer a problem and a carefree longer trip to the countryside or coast becomes possible.

Absolutely love it! I loved the twizy too but at £12k with no storage, enclosed cabin etc. it was a no-go. The ami seems like a far more practical vehicle and perfect for trips to the shops, to a friend's house or to a city centre when it's too wet to take an ebike. Is it possible to charge it with the doors shut/locked? What about turn the heater on while it's charging to preheat the cabin on a cold winter day?

Who needs a Tycan. More smiles per mile than any review so far. Thought my smart EQ was fun, suspect this tops it.

I would love one. Just think of the smiles per mile you’d get.

They could be formed into trains. If I wanted to go from Sheffield to Barnsley I'd drive to Sheffield station, join a queue of these for Barnsley, there would be queues for Wakefield and Leeds too. At a prescribed time the queues would be formed into a long queue (Leeds-Wakefield -Barnsley order) and hitched to the back of the Sheffield-Leeds train or some form of locomotive. On arriving at Barnsley the Last group in the train would be unhitched and I drive to my office in Barnsley. Reserved seat in a private compartment all the way.

Citroën never disappoints with their quirky designs. This is their trademark.

They should make it so that drivers door can only be opened by Right hand whilst seated, this forces a look over the shoulder before opening door into traffic. Citroen U.K. are also introducing a van i.e. no passenger seat. Acoustic deadening of vent fan should be simple. Great little vehicle.

Actually really ideal for just pottering about town as a second "car", really glad this is being released in the UK now and you can pre order one! might have to do it!

I want one!

The big grin on your faces, priceless!

I think this is a cool car. Charging is a bit slow, you don't want to use it for long trips. Would be cool to add an extra battery for range, and faster charging for convenience. Changing at 8 A is usually not bad for EV, but when that's the only/fastest option. You have to wait long, if you sant to go beyond the actual range. But charger and battery adds weight, reducing range an increasing cost.

Registered. Saw a another vlog with it imn about a week ago and linked that in my FB. All who saw it loved it. Definitely potential for a small town runaround that doesn't cost the earth, yet is betterb than the Twizzy. One colour keeps cost down, if you want it to be different go totally unique and funky with an individual wrap.

I Want one and a optional extension lead And a litter picker for carpark. Worth it for the laughs.

It's a nutty little car thingy and I think will sell well tbh. My ebike is similar in top speed but cant leave it anywhere for fear of it getting nicked , this could the answer. Brilliant fun.

Interesting Thanks. Does it have regen braking?

I really enjoyed this video.What I really want to know is did you manage to be brave enough to take the Ami onto the Coventry Ring Road,as I am not sure if it could cope with the driving conditions!But I do think it is a great commuter vehicle for just a couple of miles to and from a train station rather than getting wet cycling .

This is the forth review I've seen of the Ami...this is by far the best :)

What kind of monster removes the gherkin from a burger? It's the best bit!

I kinda miss the e-Mehari , what happened to that poor thing?

Greetings from the Netherlands, this is a nice means of transport for the city and short commuting distances.

Better build quality than model 3 🤪.

I don’t trust anyone with that doesn’t like gherkin pickles

I'm that guy that always comments on your ev review videos "too expensive" plus salt. I really want an Ami too! 6 grand? It's still kind of a lot for what you get but it's only money, can't take it with you

It should come in a different colour scheme.... red body with a yellow roof ... a grown up Little Tikes Cozy coupe

I reckon it'll go faster and further in a hurricane 😬

I'd have one ... Perfect for London as most roads are 20mph limit

I'm a bit disappointed you never spoke about charging or charging time, the crash capability (or not) or any of the legal stuff eg tax, insurance, mot or the expected uk license requirment if it comes to the UK - its obviously fun but is it practical for UK ownership?

Given the number of RU-vidrs and motoring journalists who have driven around Coventry in this I wonder if McDonald's got a bit sick of seeing it pull up at the drive through?. This model is great for the regulations in France but I don't think will really sell in the UK due to the higher licence requirements. If it had a higher top speed, something around 50mph similar to a 125cc scooter and a bit better range for the UK it could do well though. For example I live about 5 miles from my workplace, but there is a section of busy road of about 2 miles with a 50mph limit I'd have to drive along and wouldn't feel that safe doing it in this at less than 30mph.

On sale April next year. I am getting mine.

Brilliant love it - shame I have a 20 mile commute on A roads :-( otherwise. Shame don't do a higher powered version like the Twizy. But I have signed up.

Tesla Bjorn has to do a 1000 km challenge in one of these.

I love this vehicle. It's less mad-looking than a Twizy, gives better weather protection, has some form of heating, lockable doors (I hope), has sensible, if basic, seats, looks better, has more internal space, is easy to park in limited city parking spaces (it could even park perpendicular to the kerb quite safely), and I wouldn't feel like a complete twit travelling in one. It's quirky enough, and well enough priced to really catch on, especially if a longer range, or second, battery could be fitted. That would give it the capability of being recharged once per week, whilst being used for city or town commutes, weekly shopping, etc. Remember that the original 2CV had less power than the electric Ami, and wasn't much faster. But look what became of it! They're still sought-after and treasured, 75 years later. Registered my interest without hesitation, even if we only ever buy a used one. But if the price is kept down, that wouldn't even be an issue.

If this come to the UK and be licence free or what they said at first taking a CBT type test I would be waiting outside the dealers or on the internet buying one ASAP. I would have a smile bigger than anyone and ideal for me and perfect to go with my mobility scooter, I registered and wait and see if it comes to UK, well done for video lads 👍

Hi, just wondering have you seen the ev advertised in the uk for £3750 ( look up Lmev. Co . Uk ) any chance of a review or is this make believe would love your opinion ?

First post! :)

You should all check out the channel "Me and mon ami." It's a hilarious channel with two guys driving one of these all over the French Riviera with all sorts of tests and challenges. Brilliant.

if this cute little vehicle had the preformance of a twizy. id be like omg take my damn money already!! btw

i prefer the windows to be opened side by side though😁

Ill stick to the mini. Thats enough of a small car to b also practical and safe. Obviously we talking about massive differences in price. But id b constantly wanting more space n speed n safety. Cant see it really selling well other then the unusual factor

Amazing car for city journeys but unfortunately it will be mostly used by French drivers who have lost their licence due to being caught drink driving. I’ve spent many hours stuck behind the petrol equivalent on French rural roads.

You need to show us some parking tests with it. Can you put it sideways in a spot. Could you put 2 in on parking stall? Anyway, looks like fun.

20mph inner city speed limit - so you could be a rebel! Perfect for city short journeys. Create a delivery vehicle version as well.

This is the car the government should mandate everyone who has just passed a test, drive for at least one year

Brilliant, but really needs to do 40mph for me to feel safe on the dual carriage ways near me.

If only they had a second version of this "car" capable of the same speed as the Twizy...

How can we get one shipped to America? Dying to get one too but we don’t have Citroen here.

That was ne of the most entertaining reviews I've seen. You should have been wearing false white beards, pointy ears and hats with a bell on, sticking fishing rods out the tiny windows, and calling it the Gnomemobile

Do you prefer the M8 comp GC or the E63s 🤔

want one, if there is a version that does 60 mph, the 28 mph idea is a bit poor for uk, unless of course they don't know there is land outside of London, but it is a good idea

Is it made by Tyco? I think I bought my kids one of these when they were 2...lol

The design touches hark back to 2CV days; folding door windows, fabric handles to close/open them too, easy clean interior for when you have to take the sheep to market. BUT can you drive across a ploughed field st top speed and not break the eggs in your basket 🧺

Great video guys.

I'm a bit older than 14......quite a bit.....but I want a go of the Ami.

the funny thing in NYC you would get a speeding ticket at 28 miles an hour the speed limit is 25 miles an hour.

I wonder how this stacks up against a used 24kwh Nissan leaf which is in a similar price bracket. The AMI should be cheaper to run, insure and repair but the leaf would be more versatile.

I was hoping you'd get hold of one of these

Seat Minimo next...

Looks like it has a USB charging socket on the side ;-)

Is it just me or does it look kinda like a Multipla?

Now wandering if I took down part of my Victorian terrace wall, I could actually fit a space for off road parking/charging 🤔

What size are the tyres look small? Agree needs over 50 miles of range and 40mph speed. If they don't am sure someone else will.

Does look a fun little thing , wouldn’t want to be in a smash in one though

It's a 21st century Fiat 500!
