Skoda Citigo reviews

I have the mid spec Citigo and love it. Excellent in town and more than capable on A roads and motorway. It’s obviously not a fast car but doesn’t struggle at 70mph (just slower to get there). My only gripe it’s a bumpy drive & my brakes squeak a bit after wet weather but no problems with it and I hammer it all over the place (city, countryside, motorway). 5**** for running costs.

I traded in my 2 litre turbo diesel for this citigo and I'm definitely not disappointed. These may be called city cars but they would be adequate as a family car, they may look small on the outside ( from a distance) but step inside and they are very spacious, easy to find the comfortable driving position, and everything Inside is of high quality. The boot space is very generous so no problems with shopping or luggage. I bought the colour edition with the 15inch alloys and rear tinted glass, the road holding is exceptional with good driver feed back, there is more than enough power, I regularly drive on a combination of motorways, A roads and B roads, the citigo simply glides along at 70mph quietly and without effort, I've had no problems on even the steepest hills, ok you might need to use the gears but that is no effort considering the excellent gearbox. I'm achieving around 62mpg (combined) and with road tax at £20 a year. My car came with a full size spare wheel which I would recommend having. As regards parking, well it's a breeze, the citigo has speed sensitive power steering which makes parking effortless. I consider my citigo to be an all round perfect car, I'd say if you're down sizing go and test drive one.

Now on our second Citigo since 2015, when we downsized from a TOTR larger car. Initially I opted for the 75 BHP version, but with the benefit of experience, on the second occasion I stuck to the bog-standard 60 BHP elastic band, as it is only above 4000 revs that one can actually notice any difference, and it is my contention that the car was designed with the 60 BHP engine in mind anyway. The car IS NOT fast (anything but, actually) but when on a Motorway, & having climbed up to 70 mph, one only needs to flex ones' toes & the needle's is hovering around the 85 mark - in other circumstances it's more than easy enough to keep up with traffic flow - as long as one doesn't insist on passing everything in sight. Reliability (over 3 years & 2 vehicles) is 100%, & the mpg could hardly be bettered, although it's only on a long run that one sees a mpg in excess of 60 mpg - in normal driving, the mid 50's are the norm. Comfort-wise, we (my wife & I) find it very comfortable, & the enhancements since our 2015 car (rear parking sensors: upgraded radio: 15" Alloys & twin headlights) have benefited the car - although I do have to say that the removal of the DVD Player & installation of a "Smart Phone" device was not welcomed by us. Neither was the removal of the previous Sat Nav system, again replaced by the Smart Phone App, although we bought a fairly expensive Sat Nav & simply ignore that Smart Phone options. The bulbs in the new headlights (as in the previous headlights) are about as powerful as a Toc H lamp, but again, it is easy enough (albeit a little pricey) to replace the bulbs with much better ones. All in all, the Citigo is a most impressive little car & although the space available is but a fraction of our previous car, we don't miss it (it was left empty for most of the time anyway) & have adapted extremely easily to driving & living with a much smaller car. One does not have to have a large car - the car gets us from A to B very comfortably economically, & more to the point, RELIABLY, and that is all that we now want from a car.

Excellent little car for driving around town. Surprisingly speedy and manoeuvrable. Very easy to park in confined spaces. Somewhat cramped for leg room space in rear seats. Economical to run and very reliable. Lives up to the reliability of its predecessor - a Skoda Fabia.

Overall I am very pleased and impressed with it, far better than the fiat 500 I had before, if I was going to be picky I would like the satnav to be built-in and the boot lip lower as it is awkward to lift heavy shopping

My citigo sport is fantastic on country and twisty roads.It could do with a tad more power but work the gears and away it goes.Always puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

The automatic gearbox belongs in the 1950s if you like jerky gear changes and driving in the wrong gears then this is the car for you. When complaining to customer services it was like hitting a brick wall, all they kept repeating was that they were sorry I was disappointed and that I would have to learn how to drive the car! What a joke

A very inexpensive little cr. Well made. Drives very comfortably. Not, of course, a very powerful engine, but good enough. e mostly use it fairly locally or school runs and shopping, but sometimes visit family/friends 150 miles away. Economical t run and breakdowns and service covered for, at least I think, two years. Seats four and stil has quite a big boot for a small car. Suits us perfectly.

After a long period of time in my life having big cars, it came to a period in time when i was not driving many miles per year (approx 2,500) so i decided to opt out for a smaller/economical vehicle and the Skoda Citigo fits all our needs, all i can say is "LITTLE IS LARGE". THANK YOU SKODA.

The original Mini was clever, innovative, fun, and unbelievably roomy for its size. Ditto the Citigo, except it is also well built, refined, and a genuine four seater. It is amazingly quiet, and whizzes down the motorway at 70 in a quieter and less stressing way than my big Touran! The smooth 3 cylinder engine is a gem. Very annoying to discover it is only supplied with one plipkey, and that they want £180 for another! We paid extra for a pack that included alloys and a spare in the boot. Also the radio reception isn't great. Apart from that, I love it!

Great for city driving and especially for tight parking. Nips around town with ease and still comfortable when on country roads and motorways. Needs time to get up to speed on some hills but overall a great little car.

For the journeys that I make on a daily basis my little red Citigo is all that I need; it meets all that I require. It's small and compact and yet I can still fit my weekly shopping in the boot. The only thing that is missing is a light in the boot as at night times it is extremely hard to see into unless you have a torch. It is the green version and I love the fact that it switches off when waiting at traffic lights or caught in traffic. I would recommend this car.

Small, funky, roomy, fun - just like the original Mini. Comfortable, refined, well screwed together - not like the original Mini! I love my Citigo and it seems to me to embody the spirit of the original Mini much more than the bloated, cynical marketing exercise of the BMW Mini. The most amazing aspect of it is its quietness and refinement. You can cover short or long distances without ever feeling you are in some small buzz box! The only things I hate are the name (yuk) and the fact I had to pay extra for a second plipkey! Only one supplied! How cheapskate is that!

Compared to previous small automatics that I have driven, the Citigo has excellent fuel economy, good space and boot space and some excellent design features. Thr back seat space is adequate but not comfortable for adults for a long journey. Value for money is superb.

Swaped my beloved smart for this after 9 years...delighted
