Love at first try...

Best is the Joy of Driving! What annoys me are the reflections on the windscreen. Should the console top (don't know the right world) be painted with matt black of something to prevent reflections.

New Citigo Elegance 75PS with ASG - Gearbox faulty or just plain bad?
catharsis replied to mikecro's topic in Škoda Citigo
Have driven ASG almost a year now both city and road and couldn't be more satisfied with the gearbox. If not in a hurry, I'll let ASG do all the job (it has never failed really) and if I am in a hurry I'll just use + and - manual mode. Citigo ASG is not a sports car. -
A Pleasure (with cruise control of course)
-
If it helps I would'n take ASG for a sports car. So if you want to burn the wheels, ASG is not the right choice. But can you do that by Citigo? For easy driving ASG is good enough.
-
Fun and easy
-
Actually, when ASG shifts the gear earlier than I'd do in manual, snow driving with Citigo is very easy and smooth. Haven't try yet to play a rally driver though.
-
I drive daily in snow here in Finland. No problem, Citigo works fine, thanks to ESC, ABS, TC and EDS. Winter tyres (studded or studless) are compulsory here, I use studless winter tyres.

It will not be a fault of numbers if superstitious people give them mythical meanings. I rely in numbers, rather than myths.

It was in my specification, just had to accept four spoke plastic steering wheel instead of a three spoke leather one (they were changing optional steering wheel in production to the new one you can have now) ASG is ok, see the ASG topic.
-
AGS is ok when you are not in a hurry or upset. Works well, just shifts early to bigger gear which feels quite odd (but saves fuel). You need to speed up? Use manual option with + and -. Sure, different to manual gearbox or real automatic, but nothing you couldn't clear. Hating this box is just inability to learn anything new. Looking for a sports car? ASG is not. (This is my 20th car in 41 years.)

I got my ASG in 8 weeks (Finland, left drive).
-
Well I am 59 and perfectly satisfied with my ASG. Yes, it is not a real automatic. I had Mazda 3 automatic earlier and it was a real one. Citigo changes very early and slowly to a bigger gear. At first, this made me nervous, but it has never failed or stopped and I'am used to it now. My landscape though is probably not so hilly as yours.

Mine is red only in car... Open doors are red though.

"The one-off Mii is more an FR trim level than an FR performance model, as the changes are purely cosmetic, the concept using the same engine and chassis settings as the standard Mii." Not yet, sorry...
-
Do the costs of spare parts or fixings have any influence?
-
Well, ordered an AGS in early October... But I am an old man, no hurry anymore (well, inside an impatient youngster)... Exciting, waiting for delivery.

Car sales Top 20 in Denmark - August 2012...
catharsis replied to pixel_viking's topic in Škoda Citigo
True, we had astronomical registration taxes last millennium, fortunately not any more. Citigo's cartax is 15.7%, Supeb's 23.7%, Supeb 3,6 FSI V6 has 40.8% cartax. -
Car sales Top 20 in Denmark - August 2012...

Very different here in Finland. There is no single citycar on our best selling 30-list. Longer distances than in Denmark? Citycars have never been too popular in Finland, except the original Mini in sixties. -
Condensation without heater being blower being on
catharsis replied to balltofeet's topic in Škoda Citigo
Should I say this but... the British way to ventilate and heat their cars or houses make me sometime confused... Seen that, been there. :sun: The fan should be used almost all the time when it is cold or rainy or foggy or hot or... The best is to use heat and air cond (if possible), it keeps the car dry and visibility good. -
No, it doesn't.
