A key selling point is that the cabin is so high you can run over toddlers without even noticing.⬇ pic.twitter.com/AXX7AXEJAG

I will compare the vehicles on the following criterea:
— Jordan Maris 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 #WeAreNAFO (@jmaris_) September 16, 2022
– PRICE TO BUY
– PRICE TO RUN
– CAPACITY
– OFF-ROADING
– SPEED and
– EMISSIONS
with additional bonus criteria at the end.
Lets see how the C15 holds up.⬇
First on PRICE TO BUY:
— Jordan Maris 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 #WeAreNAFO (@jmaris_) September 16, 2022
At the time of release in 1984, a C15 would set you back about €13 000 (adjusted for inflation, euro)
The Cheapest 2018 Ford Ranger will cost you €25k.
A Land Rover Discovery will set you back about €50k
Today, you can get a C15 for €2k

But what about fuel efficiency? Surely the C15 can't be more efficient than modern cars?!
— Jordan Maris 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 #WeAreNAFO (@jmaris_) September 16, 2022
FUEL COST FOR 100KM RANGE (at €1.86/l):
Citroen C15: 6.3 l/100km – €11.72
Ford Ranger: 11.3 l/100km – €21
Land Rover Discovery: 10.2 litres/100km
C15 Wins again.⬇ pic.twitter.com/YqTubq6rwG
I see you, impressed by the C15s fuel efficiency and low price, but you smile "surely", you say "such a small vehicle cannot meet my insatiable craving for capacity".
— Jordan Maris 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 #WeAreNAFO (@jmaris_) September 16, 2022
You are mistaken, dear friend.
CAPACITY:
C15: 2.6m³
Ranger: 1.8m³
Discovery: 0.8m³⬇ pic.twitter.com/56hc7SMPwr
In fact, one of my first experiences with a C15 was heading multiple cows inside one. Ask yourself, reader, do you need to carry anything larger than multiple cows?
— Jordan Maris 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 #WeAreNAFO (@jmaris_) September 16, 2022
If not, then the C15 is for you.
There are also convenient benches for humans.⬇ pic.twitter.com/1BI1NlMKg3
Slowly, you enter the second stage of grief: anger.

"A VAN LIKE THAT WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO OFF ROAD, I NEED TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE DOWN DIRT TRACKS".
Allow me to tell you a story. I was in a C15 at the bottom of a steep, muddy track. Then I was at the top of the track.
The End.⬇ pic.twitter.com/ZhlFPhTE5V
"BUT WHAT IF I NEED TO COMPENSATE FOR THE SIZE OF MY MANHOOD BY DRIVING FAST?!" I hear you say.
— Jordan Maris 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 #WeAreNAFO (@jmaris_) September 16, 2022
Dear Sir, fear not: though the C-15's top speed of 150km/h is vanquished by the slightly faster Ranger (170km/h) and Discovery (200km/h) …⬇ pic.twitter.com/7wN2C9grxO
… achieving such a speed would likely result in your vehicle being embedded into a tree and parts of your internal organs no longer being on the inside of your body. This is not an optimal outcome, so I consider this limitation a bonus. ⬇
