Here's my tuppence-worth...

Test drove one a few weeks ago - new C1 1.1 (Can't recall the trim level
for sure, but think it was the Design).

Not a patch on the C2. Everything seemed cheap, plastic and gimiky, like
some kid had already tried to "bling" it up. Very little space, too. Pretty
nippy to drive, but felt like it would fall apart after 10,000 miles: A
noisy place to be, too.

I know it's a cheap car in it's class, but the C2 is priced well in it's
class, too - and didn't feel bad like the C1.

The roadholding was ok, but we also test-drove the new 1.2 VW Polo that
week, and the C1 couldn't touch it (although I admit the Polo is a more
expensive car).
