The Citreon Ami is a tiny, bonkers electric...not a car actually! The tiny French quadricycle is an urban transport solution, which also happens to be a silly amount of fun!

Just competed my first year of ownership, 4500 miles covered. I love my AMI. 75p to charge to do 46 miles on economy 7, standard 13 amp UK socket charging!! No expensive chargers for this one. Gets me and the wife to work and back every day. No agro from other road users and we drive on many 60mph roads. Have taken AMI to car meets and it gets a lot of attention. Just renewed insurance and paid 248 UK pounds for the year! Makes me smile every time I take Ami out on the road!!

@@g-r-a-e-m-e- You can get ECU mapped, but I wouldn't bother. 28 mph feels very fast in the little AMI. When my brother is a passenger in mine, in town he's screaming at me to slow down!!!! If Ami was able to go even 40mph it would be dangerous. 28 is fast enough because of the way it is built.

Not to toot the ami (or my own) trumpet too loud I've owned one for a year, just clocked over 7000 miles in it and its a fun, practical daily runabout. It makes you smile to drive. It is a portaloo on wheels in its construction but its so cheap to run too. Thank you for reviewing it. Glad u enjoyed it too.

I've owned a couple of 2 CV's over the years. Can only say they are an inspiration to drive. Comfortable and economical. Would rather have a 2 CV over the Ami. It's a real car, infinitely more practicaland usable. And at anywhere between £5K and £7K for a decent one, it's never going to depreciate.

Yes.

As a 2009 it also was advanced with colored display in dash, massage seat, electric parking break, bonnet made of aluminium, very nice ambiente-light...

I'm currently on holiday in northern France and whilst these Amis aren't exactly everywhere, I've certinly seen loads, all driven by youngsters who presumably see these as a better way of getting around than an e-scooter.

@MadIIMike
@MadIIMike 4 месяца назад
I really don't like EVs, but IMO things like the Ami and Twizy hit a interesting spot for independant urban traffic. The one issue I have with them however, is their price for what they are. If you make something that shows minimalism and cheapness as something positive, then it should also be reflected in the price. I also wish french car designers would get the freedom to make quirky cars more often, as IMO that's when they're at their best. One of the cars I'm looking forward to pick up eventually (once prices bottom out) is the first gen Cactus, while the specs are unremarkable it's IMO one of the coolest cars from the last decade or so.

@@2ndbaritone I'm not 100% sure on their pricing, but I think the 2CV was fairly affordable. But it's important to note that both of those were fully capable cars relative to the competition at the time. The Ami and Twizy are avoiding many regulations for cars by being labeled as quads. They both have low range and are designed virtually exclusive for urban traffic.

It can't do 0 -60 at all, let alone in 10 seconds. and of course, no one claims it can do 47 miles.

I'm not a fan of the unpainted plastic finish. You wouldn't want to take it to a car show and park it near the portaloos.

I'm glad I caught up with you. My name is Richard and this is my wife Dorothy. I am going into town this afternoon to spend a few hours in the public lavatory. I am taking my small fishing net and a bucket with a lid. Would you care to join me? We can eat some meat sandwiches and check one another for nits.

The answer to a question nobody in the UK ever asked - makes sense in its home market I suppose but a moped is cheaper and when you pass your driving test easier to sell on

Brilliant, I'm glad you treated this with the levity it deserves. It's the equivalent of a novelty bicycle, something you buy if you're loaded just for kicks because it's of no real use to anyone with a living to earn.

I've got my daughter's old little tikes cozy coupe in the shed. Im sure that is built more solid than the Ami. To be fair its better than getting a bus but at that price i would not buy one. Perhaps as a pay per hour hire car in that London it would be great.

Pointless! All the drawbacks of a car (parking, can't get round traffic jams like a scooter), with few of the benefits, apart from getting less wet in the rain!

Oddly enough there seems to be a big thing about these turning over. They seem to turn over very eaily, the center of gravity is said to be completely wrong and dangerous. There are videos on youtube of this going around a corner on it's side, you enter a corner a little quick and it tips over. So it's funny how this thing is being promoted especially to the young which will in no doubt be driving it to its limit. Fortunately the young are not completely stupid and have not bothered buying it, but it is odd how a dangerous vehicle is being promoted over a convensional vehicle.

@@ziggarillo Perhaps but based on what has been shown on youtube they turn over a lot. Have you taken a look, I was watching one video where the guy was simply driving down a path turned a corner and over it went. Now that is only one video there are others. Perhaps you have been lucky or they have been unlucky, which ever if they are lying then you need to prove it to those watching these videos. Let's see your car do a corner of a similar type and stay upright.
