  1. Lo strano furto avvenuto nella microcar elettrica a Varese (e non è un caso isolato)

    Una microcar elettrica - #CitroënAmi - parcheggiata in via Staurenghi, nel centro di #Varese. Qualcuno ha forzato la portiera, senza grave danno, un lavoretto chirurgico, e ha portato via il libretto di circolazione.
    Detto così appare un furto strano, poco plausibile. Eppure... È successo a una ragazza varesina, figlia di un noto #professionista, che sulle prime non si è accorta dell'effrazione e nemmeno del libretto asportato. La scoperta è avvenuta al rientro a casa. «Abbiamo ricevuto poi la telefonata dalla #Questura che ci avvertiva del rinvenimento del libretto di circolazione» spiega il genitore della ragazza.

    Restava da risalire alle ragioni del furto. Le accreditate dalle stesse forze dell'ordine: la microcar come #statussymbol da cui dedurre un'abitazione interessante da svaligiare e poi la speranza - dei ladri - di trovare nell'abitacolo anche le chiavi di casa, così da poter agire subito e agevolmente.

    Morale: attenzione a questi fenomeni e mai lasciare chiavi all'interno dei veicoli.

    Where there’s a will there’s a way: respect!

    Is it a Citroën Ami? Just read this review dated 2020: top speed 28mph, range 43 miles & the “5.5kWh lithium-ion battery … takes three hours [to recharge] on a UK household supply.” It weighs 485kg & seats 2.

    “It’s not a car, of course, it’s a quadricycle…”
    Special rules (France, UK) apply apparently.
    Still, a nifty solution that could suit some.

  5. I hope our next home will allow us to never need to have a car again. But if we do, I would like it to be a Fiat Topolino (Based on the Citroen Ami, which I always found cute)

    It's adorable.

  7. These are very popular in Spain, with good reason. 75km range and plug in anywhere. Dry, space for shopping, fits through small gaps.

    Disadvantage is that they are not 90% of cars on the road. F=m.a

    Also, the choice is grey or grey.

  10. Here's a walk-around of what kind of quality issues you can look forward to if you buy a #CitroenAmi

    One of the big myths about Chinese cars vs European brands is that the Chinese quality is, allegedly, poor. Worse than this? Really?

  14. A total lipstick-on-pig scenario. They're still making these in the same factory (not in Europe, BTW) so it's still going to have the same shitty welding and random chassis shapes - a quick YouTube search will show you the horror.

    These things start at EIGHT THOUSAND euros. No wonder shitty EU car companies lobby for heavy taxes on Chinese EVs that are actual cars for that money.

  16. TIL that there’s an Opel version of the #CitroenAmi and that the Fiat Topolino isn’t a ripoff but a variant:

  18. Every few weeks I need to drive to the shop to buy a 10kg bag of cat food and this morning was the first time I was looking forward to it, because it meant I could take the little #CitroenAmi and zip through the streets.

    Drove past a petrol station thinking “never again”.

    Rotary phones, fax machines, spinning hard drives, ICE cars. We’re done.

  20. And there it is!

    In an unbelievable turn of events I've had the third flat bike tyre in four weeks - this time on my old e-bike - just yesterday afternoon.

    So this delivery couldn't have come at a better time as both my e-bikes are out with flats.

  24. In conclusion: Amis practically sell themselves without any additional sales effort and all the Amis I see around have been bought without a test drive 😎

  26. Trying to book a test drive of the #CitroenAmi in a few easy steps:

    -> citroen.fr/ami -> car dealer 1 -> no response 🙃

    -> go to car dealer 1 -> say to call this number (turns out to be the same as on citroen.fr/ami) -> called number -> you need to contact dealer 1 -> 🙃

    -> citroen.fr/ami -> car dealer 2 -> they call back and say they have no cars 🙃

    -> citroen.fr/ami -> car dealer 3 -> no response 🙃

    -> email [email protected] asking for trial -> go to citroen.fr/ami to book 🙃

  28. This is a long shot, but does anyone here own a Citroën Ami who'd be willing to answer some questions?

  30. There can’t be better cause for “cars” such as #citroenami, the maximum speed 45km more that enough. The only problem is lack of heating and window misting issue, this is why it might be no-no for me. #urbanmobility #ev

  31. Firstly, all cars are bad. Obviously.

    But if you really need a car, it had better be 100% battery powered. But not a Citroën Ami, please. Awful design, not cheap, eye-wateringly bad build quality (check YouTube). Let's not encourage Citroën to make any more.

    Here's one I found on the street this week - they're *that* bad that the owner of this one has simply dumped it at the side of the road. It can't be more than two years old.

  33. @richardknott @xtaran I think that of all the cars mentioned, or from the 2CV era, the one I’d most like to own would be the #CitroënAmi Super, with the flat 4, 1015 ‪cm³‬ engine.

    I read somewhere that this engine was originally designed for the brand new #CitroënGS but they decided it was too small for that car (including driving the hydropneumatique suspension). So to exhaust the supply, they stuck it in a fastback Ami and called it Super. 😂

  35. @davidho most people only need the #citroenAmi

    plug-in charging without any supplemental installation /100km autonomy / costs less than 10k euros

  37. Anybody under the illusion that Chinese car manufacturers will fail because "European auto manufacturers have much more experience and therefore much better quality" need to have a look at this #CitroenAmi #fail.

  38. Compare and contrast with the Chinese Geely Panda Mini. Same price (or cheaper). But, the Panda Mini has:

    * Proper doors and windows. That fit.
    * Much more power, range, top speed, stability, space and charging speed.
    * An infotainment screen
    * Back seats
    * Hatchback

    In every, single, way better than #Stellantis ' offer.

  39. Oh my life. #Stellantis is doing Chinese car companies a MASSIVE favour. The Citroën Ami, FIAT Topolino and Opel Rocks-e - same car, different plastics. Same awful quality.

    Just take a look at the welds in this video. Holy smoke! I, hand on heart, could do better with a stick welder. It seems as though the fundamental problem is that they can't make any two chassis anywhere near the same shape or size in their Morocco factory.

  40. @timfoster @thecarfactoids @vitaminsludge anything that small is going to be impossible to manufacture at a much lower price than the 208 with any emissions controls, or proper safety ratings.

    The 45 mph #CitroënAmi quadricycle with a range of 75 km (and no safety other than a seatbelt) is €8K.

    I rented the €12K #DaciaSandero sh*tbox. It’s horrid in comparison to the €19K Peugeot.

    The best hope I’ve seen lately is the #CitroënOli concept.
