Just bought two CitiGo’s for myself and the wife. 15 plate Elegance 75bhp with stop/start which is at £0 road tax, and a 63 plate 60bhp at £20 road tax (no stop/start). Loving them.
I read about the potential rust problem round the filler neck. So last Monday I got my arm up there and brushed away the dry dirt off both of them, then got the hose pipe onto them. I left them to soak for a while, did the hose pipe again and now all clean. Going to get some Dinitrol to spray up there.
We live near Chester, took a train down to Bridgend (lovely journey) to pick my 15 plate up, then drove 170 mile straight up the middle of Wales. Again a lovely journey. I bought a Garmin info/satnav screen for it, that’s handy.
10 days later we went in my card to Llangefni, Anglesey, to pick up the wife’s 63 plate. The return journey was 160 mile and my car with Garmin was showing 69.4mpg.
We both had Toyota hybrid cars, and I learnt how to hyper mile my Prius, so I put that learning into the drive to Llangefni and back.
We both now in our 70’s and covid curtailed our journeys, and apart from holidaying I the uk, I don’t think we will get back to doing journeys we have in the past. So I took advantage of the high price being offered for good used vehicles and sold the two hybrids via internet buying sites (Best Car Buyer for my Prius and Motorway for the Auris). I bought the Auris hybrid for myself 4.75 years ago and lost just £700 on it. Then the wife inherited it when I got a Prius. I did well selling that too. Obviously the GitiGo’s prices were inflated too, but at a lesser price then the two Toyotas meant we have money in the bank.
I am surprised how nippy the CitiGo is, actually I cannot tell the difference between the 75 and 60bhp. Maybe I will on a MWay or long hills.
Really enjoying them.
