CAT’S INSIDE LINE: CITROËN C1/PEUGEOT 107/TOYOTA AYGO

In this issue we are focusing on the first generation Ka which entered the market back in 1996 as a budget city car. A testament to its success is its longevity, with huge numbers sold for over a decade until it was replaced in 2009 with an updated model
