Automatic experiences

Hi Guy's,

I have a Citigo Elegance 75ps ASG had it for 4 weeks now, I knew about the ASG as it's called by Skoda (Duel logic by Fiat,Senso drive by Citroen,also in pugs,ford,Vauxhall,Smart,Toyota,mazda etc. etc)

I've had the Fiat version, it was very good in fact better than this one in the citigo? sorry skoda. The only problem with the Fiat one was that every 45 to 60k the Hydrolic pump had to be changed at a cost of £1000.00 not cheap. I said I would never have another of these semi-auto things again, until i saw the Citigo (lol) Lovely car great value (mine was ex demo at £9400 for the Elegance which I thought was top of the range? being a person of a few years !! 55, top of the range came with everything!? Ho no not this car.... Only 2 speakers (the sport has 6?) no parking sensors (I know it's little car but you can't see the nose or back to well) Only one window switch each side?? all cars even budget ones get 2 window switches on the drivers side!! (come Skoda) Those strange pop out windows on the back! (very strange) why they could not put a vertical separation and given it a small wind down window is beyond me?

How about the height of the instrument clock with the steering wheel set where I am comfortable I can only see the 40 and the 80 mph (lol) I would like it lower but then I can only see the 20 and the 100 (pmsl)  The electric power steering sometimes is a little slow when you first start off? etc.etc.etc.etc.....................................................But lovely car

Anyway the gearbox, I have had that 'False neutral' thing twice(Not funny when it happens) I have found with this one it does not like change from driving on the flat to incline or decline or releasing your foot of the pedal and back on as you do in corners etc, So what i do is floor it until the revs start then release a little to normal revs, it seems to like this and cope much better.

The consumption! .........At first i was only getting 35 to 40, now I average 48, In my job a delivery driver with stop, start I think 48 is good, when I'm not working and the distance is little longer I get 60 mpg !!

I also have a nasty dead spot on the accelerator, but the dealers say they can't find anything wrong? 

Would I buy another ...............maybe not .....next time if buying new I would have the Fiat, as the system is much smoother and feels like a normal torque converta auto.The new 500L or even the Qubo as its 6 speed auto  

Thanx for reading. Marcus
