They've literally only just come out, you are going to get a £10k+ 1.6 Turbo first car?!

Obviously not the 1.6 turbo Fox - they do a 1.4 don't they?

Just the colours and Alcantara seats, no satnav or parking sensors

That actually looks awesome.

And with a BMW engine

Yes, and it's a pretty low insurance group also, or you could go for the turbo diesel and pay £0 road fund licence.

These are funny. I can't decide whether i think they look really nice or really ugly :confused:

Sometimes i see them and think ooo that looks good. Other times i see one and think "wtf is that ugly thing".

I think it is an angle thing. I don't think they look good from all angles

I am yet to make up my mind

I'm tired, i think i might go to sleep. Enjoy the new car, i'm sure it will be awesome!

ive seen the odd one around but this is the first colour combo ive like'd them in

grudas · 28 Apr 2011 at 01:41

nice colour combo

not sure on the chrome strip.. but looks good!

dave_beast · 28 Apr 2011 at 02:08

I must admit i'm not 100% on the chrome "baguette" on the side

How about colour coding it and covering it in stickers and a big carbon picnic bench on the back?

That looks really nice.

Slightly OT, group 22 insurance? I thought it went to 20?

The new system has about 40 groups, so 22 is quite low. A Clio 182 for example is group 31.

And more importantly what scent of air freshener

More thinking of the £10k+ 'first car' budget at 17 :eek:

By time I would be looking at one they would have depreciated significantly.

Fair play and I hope you enjoy it, but i'm really not a fan of these at all.

I think the residuals are expected to be like the mini's. It will be a while before they drop significantly

Looks lush, really like the way Citroen are going these days

so Citroen Hope

There will have to be the demand there to keep prices high. We'll wait and see.

I quite like the colour combo. It's nice to see something different than a sea of ice silvers and blacks.
