Had my new Skoda Citigo Automatic engine since 4th March 2017 and would not recommend anyone who has only been driving an automactic car to buy this it is a brand new car from Henrys and my experience has been horrible
for one the car does not have hill hold which I did not ask nor was I told I just took it for granted since mine was an only automatic licence and had explained this to the sales guy that the car would be good for an automatic driver but the car keeps rolling in the direction of a slope so when in a traffic jam on a bridge or slope the car keeps rolling back when you take the foot off the brake which is very scary so basically I have to hold the brakes down with one foot then slowly release it while pressing the gas to move forwar which is kind of like driving a manual car and when I called the showroom and also skoda I was advised to use the handbrake so do they want me to keep pulling the handbrake every second in a traffic situation and also for hill hold automatic car learners do not have hill hold and hill start in their driving lessons or test so please do not sell a car with no hill hold feature to an automatic licence holder one would think a company like skoda would do that much of research before selling their cars.
Secondly the fuel consumption is horrendous a full tank of fuel is approximately £35 ( I am going to put it down in simple language for all the women out there who are like me and just understand money and miles) and it gave me 220 miles whereas the sales guy had said a full tank of fuel would give me approximately 450 - 500 miles so if you are going to buy this car to save money on fuel please dont it will make a big hole in your pocket they do give you a free fuel car worth £500 but believe me it will not be of any use since the fuel consumption is way way more than that . I have been told by the showroom that cars need to run in at least 5000 miles to get the right fuel consumption so to all you out there who are thinking of buying a SKODA CITIGO ASG (AUTOMATIC ) CAR think twice and do your research.
