I think they are cute but I don't see the point. All the sitting in queues of a proper 4/5 seater without the versatility of a 4/5 seater when you want to take the kids somewhere/give a lift to 3 drunk mates/transport something bigish/etc.
I'd rather have something like an electric BMW C1.

BMW C1-E good shout for the advantages of the Ami - parking, not using some massive piece of shit that can take 5 but is generally only you. But for those who like a wheel in each corner the Ami is decent.

That's sort of the mindset that we struggle to get over - how often do you give a lift to 3 drunk mates, what are the alternative options? We are too used to the convenience of Big Car, fits everything in. The other positive is that they are very small, so working towards less congestion and safer for cyclists & stray peds.

You can get places not wet/ sweaty / affordably/ spending hours waiting for multiple public transport connections
Can use a taxi or hire vehicle for those other scenarios
Also in france you can drive them on a moped licence/ when banned from driving....

I have just discovered (in the car thread just now) the Citroen ami. Interesting concept this low powered "enclosed moped" kind of vehicle. I read something that said Citroen offer a monthly rental option in places as well.
