Interesting to see those figures after watching that Mustang in Camp Bay getting 50L / 100km.

Revised 2021 Citroen C1 line-up brings new Urban Ride variant
New entry-level version will be available from £12,815 when the latest C1 arrives in May
Citroën has revamped the trim levels for its C1 city car and added a new entry-level variant called Urban Ride, which, it says, is intended for “the urban adventurer”.
The company previously applied this badge to the range-topping version of the outgoing C1. Now, however, it is used as a replacement for the old Sense and Live trims, sitting a notch below the mid-tier Shine and now range-leading Airscape Shine.
The new trim will be available in the UK from next month and can be purchased from £12,815 with a five-year/100,000-mile warranty, provided that it is ordered through Citroën’s online store.
The C1 Shine, by contrast, starts at £13,305, with the Airscape Shine priced from £14,305. First deliveries of the latest C1 are expected from the end of May or early June.

SEE | Be careful not to slam it - These small passenger cars make use of glass boot lids
• Glass boot lids are most commonly found on small city cars.
• Toyota, Peugeot, Volkswagen and Honda all have their own models with 'fragile' boot lids.
• The rear bumpers are generally bigger to compensate for where the boot is normally situated.
All vehicles have it, and some are bigger than others - it could be a plethora of things, but the answer to this short-lived riddle is a boot.
For prospective buyers where space is a priority, SUVs and sedans are the stand-out choices. Most boots are made of the same material as the body, for obvious reasons, but some were designed a bit differently. Glass boot lids are most commonly found on some small city cars, with the likes of Toyota, Peugeot, Volkswagen and Honda all having their models with these unique sections. The rear bumpers are generally bigger to compensate for where the boot is usually situated. Instead of a rear window within the body, the glass boot lid is one complete piece.
It definitely improves the aesthetic appearance, but caution must be taken not to slam the boot too hard or receive a knock from the rear from a vehicle with higher ground clearance, as this could shatter the entire boot lid.
Vehicles have undergone fascinating evolution over the years. Whether it be doors that open vertically, engines situated right behind the driver or headlights that have their own wiper blades, upon a time, it was considered a masterstroke. Most cars have metal boots that form part of the body, but the kind found on these small hatchbacks are consist entirely of glass.
Peugeot 108
Peugeot has been on a model offensive in 2021, launching the 2008 SUV and 208 hatch right at the forefront for the French automaker. First launched in 2019, the 108 is one of the brand's smaller offerings.
Under the 108's bonnet, the source of power was a three-cylinder 1.0-litre VTi engine that produced 53kW, mated to a five-speed manual transmission, and returned an average fuel consumption of 4.1-litre/100km.

New Peugeot 108 offered as five-door model only in 2021 update
Three-door variant's production run ends, but update brings new colours
The Peugeot 108 has received an update for 2021, which brings new colour and design options and a five-door bodystyle only.
Prices start from £13,320 for the supermini, which will no longer be offered in its original three-door form. All 108 models will be powered by the firm’s 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine with a five-speed manual gearbox.
“With new colours and interior ambiences, the 108 remains a stylish city car,” said Peugeot UK boss Julie David. “Now offered exclusively as a five-door variant, the 108 is suitable for drivers wanting to travel with friends and family.”
Customers have the choice of the same Active, Allure and Collection specification levels as before, with Active models continuing to offer a charcoal grey interior with white detailing and trim. The step-up Allure trim offers an additional gloss black detailing on the centre console.
The range-topping Collection model offers body-coloured door handles in place of the previous chrome design, with 15in alloy wheels and orange wheel caps.

Environmental rules make Citroen C1 "nearly impossible" to replace
Citroen CEO Vincent Cobee confirms that the city car is likely to be killed off once it goes off saleThe Citroen C1 will be "nearly impossible" to replace as a result of tightening emissions regulations and market conditions, the firm's CEO Vincent Cobee has revealed.
Reports last year suggested the city car was facing the axe, along with the jointly developed Peugeot 108, with partner Toyota having separately confirmed it would continue with the Aygo alone for a further generation having been able to prove a business case for it.
Cobee has now nigh-on confirmed that decision, saying: "That segment is being erased by the environmental pressure. It is nearly impossible to continue.
“The fact is that a Citroen C3 is almost the equivalent price when you factor in residual values and ownership costs. On a lease the price is almost the same."
In recent years costly development of engines and exhaust filtration systems to meet ever-tightening emissions laws have made city cars increasingly difficult to manufacturer to a cost that customers are willing to pay for them.
Prior to forming Stellantis, PSA previously al sold its stake in its joint venture with Toyota, through which the C1 and 108 have been related to the Toyota Aygo and built alongside it in the Czech Republic since 2005.

Peugeot 108 and Citroen C1 no longer profitable due to strict regulations
As we know, the Peugeot 108 and Citroen C1 will not be sharing a platform with the upcoming all-new Aygo X. In fact, it’s apparent that these badges will be discontinued by the French group solely because they are no longer seen as feasible products.
Speaking to Autocar, Citroen CEO Vincent Cobée confirms that the Citroen C1 is likely to be discontinued once its lifecycle comes to an end. This comes after a report hinted that PSA’s venture with Toyota was due to come to an end with the Japanese manufacturer still being able to prove a business case for the micro product, which we now know is to reshape it into a small crossover.
Vincent Cobée has now pretty much confirmed that decision to end the Citroen C1 badge, saying: “That segment is being erased by the environmental pressure. It’s nearly impossible to continue.
“The fact is that a Citroen C3 is almost the equivalent price when you factor in residual values and ownership costs. On a lease, the price is almost the same.”
Due to the ongoing stringent emissions standards, development of engines and exhaust filtration systems has become rather costly to manufacturers.

Peugeot 108 successor in the frame as new rules favour city cars
New 'E-car' category could preserve margins on cheap cars, paving the way for a fun-sized Peugeot comeback
Peugeot could launch a new city car in the vein of the old 108 if the EU's new 'E-car' category is successful in making such models viable again.
Peugeot withdrew the 108 – closely related to the Toyota Aygo and Citroën C1 – from sale around four years ago and the larger 208 supermini has been the brand's entry model since then.
The 108's retirement brought an end to three decades of Peugeot city cars - a lineage that began with the 106 in 1991 – and came as part of a mass exodus from the 'A-segment', where increased regulation and production costs had strangled margins to the point of unviability. The related Citroën was also axed, and rivals including the Ford Ka, Vauxhall Viva and Skoda Citigo bowed out at around the same time.
But now, Peugeot CEO Alain Favey has given a strong indication that the company could return to the segment - if law makers sign off a new framework for small car regulation that helps manufacturers build them profitably.
Asked about the potential for a model smaller than the 208 in the future, Favey told Autocar: "There was a 108, there was a 107 and there was a 106 in the past. We've sold more than a million cars in the A-segment in the not so distant past. So definitely, if there is this new category that allows us to produce smaller cars at a profit, then obviously there will be a space for Peugeot in that area, as there was in the past."
