Just wondering - would the citigo horn fit the fabia? On my Citigo the horn is loud, two-tone, masculine with a bit of oomph! The fabia horn is like... pfft...meh!

Also note that If you park and the engine stops, it does not engage again if you have removed your seatbealt.

The lack of cruise control was one of the major reasons as to why I went with the elegance instead of the sport.

Cree is one of the worlds biggest and best LED manufacturer. They do also manufacture and sell LED bulbs. But be careful, as with any other manufacturer they have a range of LED qualitys, ranging from the best there is, to really poor. This all has to do with quality consistency in the manufacturing process of LED chips. Even the best manufacturer will get some percentage of chips that are of poor quality, so they sell these cheap. In other words - you get what you pay for.

Ive had several account where my PID did not do the countdown automatically and as a result did not go into standby. Result - flat battery when I get back to my car. I havent been able to trace the conditions which make this happen. Ive tried leaving it in various modes (radio, media, maps), but so far it all seems random.

My CitiGo was delivered with just over half a tank full when i picked it up.

It's the same with a belt. If the belt snaps, the entire engine goes out of sync and could possible destroy itself. In general i would say that chains are more reliable than belts. Usually the chains are designed to last the entire lifespan of the engine. They should be inspected at regular intervalls (can be done with engine in car), but unless the inspection finds any problems it does not need to be changes. Also, chains have a tendency to stretch prior to failure - giving a forewarning of failure. Belts usually just snaps, without warning. Belts are the common solution for most cars these days, but that more due to cost-saving, noise, emmisions etc. For the most part you'll find chains in performance engine. As an example, most high revs racing motorcycles use cam-chains. Keep in mind that belts are designed to last a lot longer than the specified service interval - but when the consequence is engine failure, why risk it?

A colleague of mine at work owns a dark blue citigo with silver colored dash. His car used to be a demo-car at our local skoda dealer, so it's not something that he specced himself.

Continental Conti Viking Contact 5. Yes, I have the winter tyres on already (Continental Contacts for the summer tyres aswell)

Yeah, true for the most part. Car prices are still expensive though when one takes into account the differences in yearly gross income. But hey, always fun comparing prices

I bought my elegance GT for about £17000 (converted from NOK). (Thats with most accessories except sunroof.) Norwegian car prices are really really really really expensive. As cars go in general, thats considered a cheap car here in Norway. The starting price for the base model is about £13400. (Did i mention that cars are really expensive in norway?) Btw, all skodas get "free" 5 year warranty included in Norway.

But what if you had to pick one - and ONLY one - thing that you like. Which would you choose?

I like that little flappy square rubber thingy thats hanging on the door retainer strut :P

If the ASG changes gear anywhere close to the gear-change indicator on the manual then I suspect the ASG is terrible. I have tried driving according to the indicator on my manual Citigo, but the indcator makes all the wrong choices - just as you describe for the ASG. Uphills are the worst - It constantly wants me to be in a too high gear, which of course makes the car struggle and slow down. Then, once the speed falls it advise on a lower gear, but as soon as the car speeds up it wants me to change up again - which of course makes the car struggle once again. Just silly.
