Yes,quite surprised when this weeks copy fell on the mat today.Should be an interesting article next week.

It was their city car of the year though. Or whatever the technical name for that class is.

I was surprised tbh they didn't have one sooner

I wrote to the editor when they did the report on the Citigo 5 door as they made a few errors.

Mentioned my choice of cars and had a few emails back and forth, he was quite impressed with the Citigo.

City car of the year and overall car of the year as well,if I remember.

No report on the journey back to Blighty,but the story about the factory is quite interesting,1000 Citigo's/Mii's/Up!'s built each day and the waiting list is still 3-4 months long.

Yes kind of disappointed that they are padding it out a bit

Still nice to seen some coverage though

Looking forward to next week

Do not buy auto express but got both issues.

Does anyone else fancy picking their citigo up from the factory? Sounds like fun (or is that just me being sad again)

Also,quite surprised Auto Express did not opt for the City-safe pack,would have been interesting to see their views on the option.

Is this magazine available on the internet, or is it possible to get a scanned version?

The second part of the report is in this weeks Auto Express, i.e. the long drive home from the factory to the UK.Very positive review.

And a nice picture of the speedo being maxed

That's the way to run an engine in nice and loose...Give it some Welly!

Auto Express seemed to like the Navigon unit but What Car? are running a VW Up! and are having problems,sat nav sending people 3 miles away from where they want to be,the phone book display not showing names next to the numbers etc.Sound familiar to anyone on here?.

This sounds like the have got their maps software from Apple :D

satnav works perfectly on ours... I especially like the live traffic info, so it automatically re-routes you around holdups! genius.

Satnav has done fine on mine, but it refuses to import the contacts from my phone properly, it only gets about 4 of them. :S

How does it do that?

it receives live update data from traffic cameras, just like many of the aftermarket ones do. borrowed one for the brisky prague trip last year (and had to stick the "ariel" on my dash) but all built in on the citygo many built in sat navs do this, been standard on mercs for some time...

Latest update on the Citigo fleet car in this weeks Auto Express-seem very impressed with the car,have given it 5 out 5 which is a rare score and the comment 'The Skoda moves the city car goalposts'.

Aye cracking write up he does seem genuinely impressed with it apart from his rear window niggles
