Is the CITROEN AMI any good? 

People slating the Ami forget that it is really an alternative to something like a small scooter, with room for two and a roof, for nipping to the shops and keeping you dry as you go. It does exactly what it is designed to, and does it well - for me, the LHD issue is no issue at all as I've driven a left-hand-drive car in the past. (A misguided purchase of a knackered old Trabant followed by a hair-raising eighty mile drive home in the thing is an adventure I'll never forget...!) Great little review of the Ami, and I could really see myself in one of those.

That looks so fun, well done to your folks for buying it and driving it for super cheap miles. Planet earth needs more of these in cities and in rural village envuronments😁

Great follow up video and well put together too. Good job.

Great video. I bought a Smart Fortwo EQ at the end of last year which is a great commuter car but may have considered one of these had I discovered them earlier as I only drive 4-5 miles a day for work and less than £10k would of been a lot cheaper than more than £20k.

Saw it today at citroen London god I loved it .

Ami is fine litle car. But i dont like the fact that the batteries are not mobil packs. Charging would be much easier . I checked the Spanish brand Silence and will wait for Silence 04 to come out. Great video enjoyed it.

Great video , A model that could get upto Twizy speeds of atleast 50 mph then I would buy one tomorrow … Citroen are you listening 🤞😬

Sweet car (quadricycle!). I'd love one but I don't have a town to drive around. Chard is tiny and I always walk into town. I only drive when I go at least to the next town and that always involves a 60mph road. I'd like to get one and tune it up to do 60! BTW, you think that's noisy, you should take Foxanne for a spin! (she does do 60 though).

Great review.. I have only recently looked at these as would be good to drop my daughter to work and my granddaughter to school 🏫.. not as raucous as my RS4 but does make sense locally…. 👍🚗

Another great video,my commute to work will soon be only 4 miles each way and all within 30 mph limits.This would be perfect does it come in yellow.I’ve just returned to the Abarth family after a few years away.

I think it's perfectly ok to say that the Ami is a car. I would even argue that just because it's legally categorized as a quadricycle, isn't excluding it being a car. While the L6e-B is categorized as a "quadricycle". The M1 category, is just described as "passenger vehicles with no more than eight seats (in addition to the driver's)." I appreciate that M1 category is commonly referred to as cars, but I have not found any definition excluding all other categories, and vehicles like Citroën Ami. According to Britannica Dictionary: "Car 1 : a vehicle that has four wheels and an engine and that is used for carrying passengers on roads." This is backed up by several other dictionaries. Yes it's not an M1 category car, but it is an L6e-B category car.

Lovely Jubbly, I'm sure someone will soon be able to access the brains if the wee Citroën and be able to increase the top speed of it, but it will then reduce its range sadly.

Still...speechless. A more sporty model? How? Well, I mean its just fetching isnt it? But it is a really good review Amber. Well done!

The Citroen Ami is a fantastic little car/ quadricycle but I’m not sure if I see it as cheap to buy. I have a Suzuki celerio and paid £7000 for it brand new in 2016, it’s good in town and easily keeps up with traffic travelling on motorway’s I can take 4 passengers (at a push) and is tax exempt + fuel economy is very good. The Citroen Ami is certainly a step in the right direction for electric vehicles,but I think that I will need to wait until They can offer what my little Suzuki gives me. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on the little Ami, I would certainly like to have a drive in this car as it does look like great fun.

Can’t decide between this or a twizy

I've been seeing one in Gloucestershire and they are so slow and not used for motorways

Sorry its not for me to many short comings with it also I believe your number plates are illegal there missed spaced

Who wouldn't love an EV for its instant torque & its fewer moving parts compared to its ICE counterparts. I'm sure it suits your parents needs, but for me it's too compromised so it would have to be a used EV for me for the same price as the Ami or an new Electric moped & save some cash.

The People who say it is dangerous are Ventriloquists because they are talking out their backside. You can call your Vehicle anything you like, a Little Car, my Tesla, anything you want. Everyone with a brain will know what you mean. It looks like a little Car so that's good enough for me. The great thing about the Ami is, unlike other Electric Vehicles, you can hear it coming. You should buy a cushion which tires round the back of the seat. That will make driving easier on your bum.

do you still have it ?

You can drive them at 16 with a CBT

Seen loads of vid's on these - I have to say as a sad traditionalist it is not for me. Same applies to EV's in general
