Purpose

I will try my best to provide detailed info on various cars and what is like to live with them, I have already produced a few for Jaguar-car-forums, I will do my best to be unbiased, but it will be hard for some cars. I will re-produce press releases and copy from other motoring news.

Big brother is now watching you, especially if you drive this Citroen


CITROËN IS FIRST MANUFACTURER TO FIT INSURANCE ‘BLACK BOX’ AS STANDARD: C1 CONNEXION NOW WITH TELEMATICS & FREE INSURANCE FROM 19
  • Citroën is the only manufacturer offering a ‘black box’ solution as standard on a new car
  • Standard specification telematics can make new car ownership more affordable for younger drivers
  • Citroën C1 Connexion models funded on Elect 3 (PCP) or Elect 4 (Personal Lease) now available with free insurance for drivers aged 19 - 75
  • C1 Connexion production increased by 750 cars & new colour introduced


Citroën is creatively turning to technology to reduce the cost of younger buyers owning and insuring a brand new car by fitting its C1 Connexion special edition with a telematics ‘black box’ as standard. The Smartnav system, provided by Trafficmaster, allows Citroën to offer free insurance for the first year of ownership to all eligible drivers from 19 - 75 years of age when the car is funded with Elect 3 or Elect 4 finance.
This new initiative from Citroën means younger drivers can now drive off in a new Citroën C1 1.0i 68 manual 3-door Connexion for just £109 per month plus deposit on Elect 3 finance - complete with free insurance.   
The Citroën insurance included in this offer is free for qualifying young drivers subject to two years No Claims Discount (NCD). Thanks to the fitment of the telematics unit, Citroën is also able to offer heavily discounted cover to drivers with zero or just one year’s NCD. For example a 19 year old with no NCD can insure a new C1 Connexion with Citroën Insurance for just £950.

Importantly, renewal premiums will be based on the driving behaviour over the first 12 months of ownership. This means that, regardless of the age of the named individuals on the policy, good driving habits will be rewarded with lower insurance premiums in subsequent years.
To meet high sales demand Citroën has increased production of the C1 Connexion special editions. An additional 750 models will be produced and a new body colour - Carlinite Grey - is now available. The Trafficmaster Smartnav system comes as standard at no extra cost.
Citroën’s C1 Connexion is the UK’s first production vehicle to be created in collaboration with Facebook. More than 24,000 members of the public helped to configure the model. Based on the popular C1 1.0i manual in VTR trim, C1 Connexion retains its special edition ‘Scarlet Red’ detailing with characterful design cues including red door mirrors, door handles, speedometer trim, air vents and centre console.
There are two versions of the C1 Connexion special edition, both with standard specification Trafficmaster Smartnav;

In addition to the insurance offer, customers will also benefit from Trafficmaster’s other telematics services, which are available free of charge for an introductory period. These include;
