That looks rather pants. (not lucky ones either!) If going for a silly looking soft-roader, make it macho silly! Like this...








The Yeti Extreme, I saw it at Goodwood Festival of Speed and I liked it! No where for the dog though and its not on the company car list, so not for me.

Agreed.

Should have called it the "latrine"
It's french, and its the right colour. And other 4 x 4s will urinate all over it.

I like it....not because I actually like the design so much, but because it's a little bit different from the norm and...well.....it's a Citroen and they're supposed to be a bit odd.

No sooner had I made that comment about BMWs when I saw an advert for this monstrosity. And it's nearly 10 grand more than the Cactus, probably twice the price once you have ticked a few options it's not even RWD

The original post is the concept, there is now a production version being reviewed.

I like it for the price @ £13K, seems practical and cheap, just what I like about a car. Some things I am not keen on like the air bubble side panels, rear windows are fixed, and no rev counter but the side panel colours are changeable and the rev counter may just be a firmware update

YouTube Video
Error: If you cannot see this video, then either YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed to play it.


The question is what do you get for the basic £13K model....probably bugger all....

I am still considering a Dacia Duster Lauréate @ £13K with all the extras....*time to duck!*

Good car...
I have had an Access for over a year. Lugs stuff around no problem, was great fun in the floods last feb with its 30+cm wading height, not had a problem with it.

Didn't Dacia Duster have really bad safety ratings?
