Hi Trevor. Yes my parents have told me about the RUclips channel too! Apparently a sun shade is around so think they will buy one. Yes they went shopping the other night and got a few bags in there! Thanks for watching and your comment and happy new year to you!
Also check out the Me and Mon Ami RUclips channel in South of France. Tim and his partner Mr Boo are from the UK and get into amazing places there in their Ami…😅😅😅
Speechless. Epic quote: “Funny but dangerous.” Too many Bro Dozeers over here in the US for something like that. Sounds like the Walt Disney Monorail. Enjoyed the drive. Merry Christmas.
I had pre-ordered one too, but the max speed of 28mph, and idiots wanting to tailgate me kinda put me off, so I bought a second hand electric smart car instead.
@@Driven247 thank you, oh, i still would love to drive one. i did actually buy a Renault Twizy too for that reason, but its always been too cold to drive :D
Ive seen these things in France and they definitely make sense in certain circumstances, handy for nipping around short distances, its a pity they're so heavily speed limited though, i think they're gas pure little character of it
An Ami?! I would quite fancy one of those for nipping around town, and there's something funny about watching that leading a Type-R down the road at all of 28mph! From getting a Proton back on the road to this... Great fun!
Brilliant. I have driven a 2cv for over 20 years in London and France. The Ami is a modern take on the 2cv. Hope your parents have lots of fun. Bon chance !!!!
Tesla Model 3 driver here. I got one of these for my granddaughter. She now uses the Tesla, as I have so much fun with this thing, that I use it all the time. It is city transport, what I do (and she) but with this, you never have a parking issue, you can charge it really anywhere, runs basically for free. However, here in Spain we use the car for transport and not for the looks we are getting. I could not care less what people think if the thing is suited for my needs. I think I might get a second one and get rid of the Tesla, for the three times a year I need a "real" car I could rent one.
Thanks for sharing. Oh the looks the car gets is obviously a bonus, they bought the car for other reasons one being that it’s electric! That’s cool you use the Ami more then! Thanks for watching and for your comment!
What a brilliant little car! Gets more attention than a lambo! 😁⚠️ I like the 'dress up kit', those orange design details make a huge difference to personalise it and make it a but more unique. Needs some decals next!! 😁👍 Happy New Year 👍
Thanks decals are on and will do another video on this car very soon! Gets loads of attention yes! Thanks for your comment and for watching! Happy new year!
Gets so much attention as it looks like a clown car from the circus missing the bright paint and stickers but has the clowns inside. Mouth goes faster than the car.
Loved the video. There is a Matchbox die cast version of this car you have to get for your parents. That's how I found out about it this model of car as never heard of it before. Looking forward to the other vids on this as curious to learn more about it. I own a Abarth 595 Comp, so not a fan of electric cars, but at least Citroen as usual make quirky cars and they have done it with this AMI as well
I want one, but I probably won't until my daughter can start training for her license. My main concern s about charging when it's really cold, because we would want to use it even the few weeks/days when it's -5 °C and colder outside.
Apparently, all it takes to give an Ami a top speed of 50mph + is to tweak the software- In this country it needs to be able to keep up with the urban traffic flow and 28mph is dangerously slow on our narrow roads.
Yeah I get that 28MPH is the max speed allowed in the AM licence (the target market in France naturally) At least an ‘ami +’ option would be an idea though… like how the Renault Twizy came out on the continent with two powertrain options…
I saw one of these recently when I went to a customer of mine who is a motoring journalist. He had been loaned the car for evaluation. He said it was very different. Anyway, just as well you were in the Type R, or you would never have been able to keep up with them.
I seen 1, 3 weeks ago, i remembered it from a car throttle video, when alex drove one in coventry. I think there wicked likes, classed as a quadricyle. Oh and the red saloon was a nova. 😁
I think these are brilliant. It should cost pennies to run too. Are they keeping the Panda 100 too? Reminds me of the time I had to drive a Renault Twizy, with no doors, up a 70mph dual carriageway at 40mph with lorries zooming past. So much more fun than it should have been
Yeah 100hp is still around currently in two colours….yeah don’t see many of the Twizy’s but at least my parents are enclosed in this one! Thanks for your support as always Alan!
Fair, but this car is pretty different to the other cars my parents own and actually, they went through a test drove a few of the Dacia's the other year and they weren't sold on any...but thanks for watching and for your comment!
Now that's a unique dinky electric vehicle.👍 I can't call it a car because it's a quadrocycle. You would certainly need another vehicle to go far with, because of the Ami's limited top speed & electric driving range, but a perfect EV city car though.
Yep, your right, isn’t a car really and luckily my parents have other cars to choose from for other longer journeys etc! But a cool car for around town none the less! Thanks for watching!
Can it even be considered a car? Top end is less than 30 mph. Can't ride on any highways, that's for sure. It's basically a 4-person bicycle with a roof.
Not really, it’s a road legal “quadricycle” it’s not something I would own and wouldn’t be great in a crash/accident I agree, but it exists for a reason! Thanks for watching!
I'd vinyl wrap it if I had one, a dark metallic red or something, I'm around your parents age so good on them for getting one.
I will tell them this, not a bad idea and assuming a wrap would stick to this plastic as its not really smooth...thanks Paul!
Probably one of the best videos you’ve done.Really enjoyed watching.
Oh really? Glad I captured all this for memories and I captured the moment! Thanks Les, can’t wait to film the car some more!
What a cool little car 👍 can't wait to see them on the roads, happy Christmas
Thank you, it’s a bit of fun! Have a great Christmas, thanks for watching!
I had no idea these were available to the public yet. merry Christmas to you all.

Your parents are very local to me. I recognize a lot of places here. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled, I'm yet to see an Ami
Aw ok nice one, you’ll probably see the car around no doubt! Thanks for watching!

Yes have heard of that channel, think my parents watch it! Thanks for watching mine!
Another great video. The wee Citroen looks funky
Thanks. I’ve done another Ami video since, check it out ha ha! Thanks George!
Magnificent, merry Christmas and a wonderful new year to all in RUclips land .
Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas!
Brilliant video mate. What a fab little "dangerous" car lol. Look forward to seeing more of this. Merry Christmas x
Thanks Alex ha ha! Hope to bring the car to my meet in Feb! Thanks for watching, Merry Christmas!

@@Ineedyoulou thanks and hope you had a great Christmas!
I remember Dec 24th 2001. The Day I collected a EP3 type R. It was so new the Salesman hadn't seen one.
Oh I can imagine: selling a brand new model of car you haven't even seen/experienced yet, cool! Good memories then? Thanks for watching!
Ive seen these things in France and they definitely make sense in certain circumstances, handy for nipping around short distances, its a pity they're so heavily speed limited though, i think they're gas pure little character of it
Yeah, my parents only use it for around town stuff, trips to the shops, its ideal for that.

@@iana6713 thank you, he he!
Morning Amber, I test driven one of these a few weeks ago at Robins and day on edge lane dealer, very easy to drive 🙂

Thank you! Sure it will attend some meets, locally ha ha #rangeanixety thanks for watching
@@Driven247 if you ever take it to a Rivos meet or one of your Driven247 socials then i'll come along and see it 😁
congratulations, the Ami is super fun!! I recently filmed one for my channel.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Perfect for shopping and nipping locally , shame it's restricted to 30 mph ,, happy Christmas 🎄
Yes ideal for that, they have already done a shopping trip and got quite a bit in! Thanks for watching and have a great Christmas!
@@Driven247 they have a quiet a big floor pan design on those lots of room in something tiny , just go careful in it whom ever may be driving it .
@@carguy792 yeah true and thanks, don’t think the car is even allowed onto motorway etc actually.
I don't think it would be safe , other vehicles will be going 40mph more than the citroen, horses for courses though ! Thanks for the videos
First new car I've seen on RUclips for a long time, that I can honestly say I am jealous 😂
Yeah? It’s a cool thing and very different, it’s just fun and it’s electric! Thanks for watching!
Very quirky car!! Love it.

Apparently, all it takes to give an Ami a top speed of 50mph + is to tweak the software- In this country it needs to be able to keep up with the urban traffic flow and 28mph is dangerously slow on our narrow roads.
If only they had made them just a little faster, so 40-50mph! But sounds an interesting tweak…thanks for watching!
Yeah I get that 28MPH is the max speed allowed in the AM licence (the target market in France naturally)
At least an ‘ami +’ option would be an idea though… like how the Renault Twizy came out on the continent with two powertrain options…
