I think the point of the Ami is being missed by most, here's my take....
I'm a manual worker who for 6 months of the year has to cycle/motorcycle to work.
A cheap basic car with no daft unnecessary extras, no road tax, , no driving license, charge it off the mains, park easily, keeps me dry and warm....
Its a no brainer, this car, sorry quadricycle, is not supposed to be direct competition with ev cars.
Also, regarding the 10mph top speed, it was probably reduced due to the low battery charge

[teastroyer]

Americans when a "car" has no 7 litre v8 with 120 hp and is 8 metres long.
It's not made to compete with cars, it's made to compete with scooters, bikes and other inner city ways to come by. In europe you can get a drivers license for this about 2 years before you can drive a full size car. Why it's available in the US is a real question to ask.

You've completely missed the point of this vehicle....

You're supposed to compare it to an electric moped. Unlike the moped you don't get wet in the rain, you don't get cold in winter, you can't fall off it and you're more likely to be seen by other traffic.

I have one instead of catching the bus, unlike the bus it always turns up and I always get a seat! Best of all, it costs £4 to fully charge it!

It's the perfect vehicle for running around town - just don't go on a road faster than 30mph!

It's easily the best worst car I've ever owned 😆

[J.S.A.]

Looks great, one of the most interesting things car industry has done in decades - rather than the constant oversized, insanely expensive and largely pointless over powered cars the industry chucks out. Basically an Affordable run around, bit more top speed would be good - 40mph probably make it more palatable on many British roads.

The panoramic roof is a nice touch as you will be able to see the angels descending from above as you trundle towards certain death 😂

[EelingStudios]

Looks like a lot of fun to me and all you need for local journeys. It's low charging rate would be ideal to charge from home solar too. You have criticised this as a car, it is not a car it is a quadricycle, a similar but very different vehicle.

If it's only got 4KM its in limp mode - which starts at 10km

[BrianJeard]

I got mine(2022) back from 6 month in citreon garage for a new battery pack 3000 kilometres later it’s gone back in to citreon as battery pack needs replacing again

[alunhoskins]

The non cancelling indicators is a nod to Citroën’s of the past. Up to the 70’s this was still a feature.

[Dpegg]

I still really want to drive one as a 13 year old

[Bram]

10 years from now this will be the standard in many city centers as many cities have emision free zones and whatnot or they clog city centers for bigger cars.

Mark my words.

[sidevalver]

The reason the indicators don't self cancel and the windows open upwards is as a reference to the 2CV. However, those were shit too...

[marklittler]

Cheerful in some two tone non drab colours but not cheap

[RobinHarding-epud]

Biggest pile of crap Citroen ever made and they have made some crap over the decades .

[guillaumearnal]

I love my ami, i have done12000k in one year!

[handsomeblackman]

Who wants to drive an oven in the summer???

[gencrow]

i think there for people that drive mopeds etc if you want to sell it ill buy it from ya

[TonyLaChica]

Or u could just strap wheels on yourself and wrap yourself in foil

[niklex]

Just add some 5000-6000 and get a 2020-2021 Nissan Leaf with 30000-40000 km mileage...

[edicostantini]

What you wont for this price ?! If you can make something better we will buy !
