Skoda Citigo (2012 - 2019) 1.0 MPI GreenTech SE L 5d Owner Review

On balance I think this a great little car. I ended up paying a bit more then I planned to but got a slightly newer, higher spec car from a Skoda main dealer. So far i’ve done one journey of about 70 miles on A roads and motorways and lots of short journeys around towns. Its coped with everything very well, but is clearly more at home as a city car. Plenty of space up front and comfortable heated seats. I’m 6 feet tall, the space behind me is at a premium, but still good when you consider the dimensions of the car. The boot is surprisingly big (deep more than long) and easily copes with a supermarket shop for 4 people. Parking and manoeuvring the car is a doddle. Very light power steering suits it well. The PID takes a bit of getting used to but is ok and adds nice features (additional dials, door / boot open signals, sat nav, media player etc.). This car is fitted with a sunroof and rear privacy glass it helps make the car feel light and airy. The aircon works fine but isn’t as good as climate control. This is the Greentech model and that works just as it should, however, though we tend to have to drive in very congested areas i’m A little disappointed with the fuel consumption. Only once so far that its been over 50 mpg, usually low to mid 40’s. Tthere are a few signs where costs have been kept down; no interior lights in the rear, footwells, or glovebox, painted metal on show that is usually covered in carpet or other soft touch material. All in all a great little car that delivers more and is more fun than we expected. Main dealer service and warranty, £0 road tax, group 1E insurance and the kids approve. Expect to keep it and enjoy using it for several years to come.
