Newbie considering a Skoda

Featured Replies

Hi folks, I' Matt from Doncaster and I'm here for a good look around, at the moment I drive a yellow-ish-green Seat Leon but things have changed and I now need to reduce costs so I am looking at the Citigo and Mii as I can have a new one on PCP for much less then I'm paying for the Leon (for some reason I don't fancy the Up, strange as they're all the same underneath).

 

I like the look of this site, so with that I'm off for a browse  B)

Hi Stonesie and welcome to Briskoda.

 

I found this site a goldmine of information when buying my first Skoda four years ago.

Hi Matt, welcome aboard.

Welcome.

Hello,i'm thinking of getting a citigo sport :)

Hi there, hope you are well. I am passionate about the brand and enjoy selling the cars. You are welcome to contact me as I work at a reputable Skoda Dealer :-)

That's good to know, I may well do that depending on how the chat with the bank manager goes next week, something about ppi :)

I have been a bit lost on my browsing, found a thread by BossFox and I'm up to page 28...

Hi and welcome aboard.

Welcome to Brisky.

 

I have a really simple question for you - Have you driven both of them before you buy ?     You actually might prefer the setup & drive of 1 over the other.

Not as yet, I didn't think there was much point pursuing it that far until I had a chat worth the the bank manager about digging the leon out of negative equity. I could do that within days if i could bring myself to sell my 'Toy'  (http://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/299828_10150441252198436_1007739298_n.jpg) bigger pic than I thought, but it's also the reason I don't really want a fast car... Fun, with gadgets to keep my inner child amused will do for me, and cheap running costs to help me get more bike time will be nice too.

Went to Barnsley seat today, unimpressed...

 

Salesman was talking utter drivel and then offered way below what I would ever accept for the Leon (5.5K for a 51K 59plate car with FSH and in good condition) and tied to sell me a used example for £800 more than a higher spec brand new one (both toca's but the new one had citysafe*... and free insurance so probably another £2-300 right there)

 

Although I do prefer the red dial illumination.

 

 

 

* Salesman kept insisting it was lane assist but refused to check the cars spec.
