The C1 is a bit sportier than the Mirage/Spacestar, but has bone-shaking suspension that gives me backache. You feel every little gravel stone the weheels touch. The engine compartment is very much more cramped, you need to remove the bumper for most servicing jobs. The "luggage compartment" is extremely small, it doesn't even take a crate of soda pop unless you fold down the back of the rear seats. It almost always comes as a two door, and if somebody has to put some groceries in the back, the enormously oversize seat-backs are in the way. If you do fold the back of a seat to make room for putting a small bag in the rear, the position of the seat is lost and you have to stand outside to put the seat into a usable position. Only then you can actually sit inside and adjust the seat to normal position. A true PITA you don't repeat unless you really have to! I could rave on a lot longer, but its not worth it.
The Aygo is no comparision to the Mirage!
