Just over a week old and the citigo has just carried two bags of cement, a sheet of plywood 4*4ft,4 bags of garden waste. So much for keeping her pristine. 750 miles now and starting to settle down.

Great cars

1000 miles now. London and the dreaded M25 yesterday. Picnic in Greenwich park with the family. A grand day.

Citigo will be three in May. OSR seat belt socket has broken. Exhaust ( I think ) is banging and knocking when starting and accelerating or decelerating. Hope it's not a drive shaft. Dealer to look next Tuesday. Had a valuation too. They have offered £3750 which seems lower than expected. Will cost £8000 to change. Any thoughts anyone? If I change before April then I keep zero VED. After it goes up to standard rate £140.

8000 to change to what? Has it been cheap motoring over the time you have had it?

Changing to a similar spec Citigo new. Certainly it has been cheap to run. I used Groupon vouchers for 10000 mile services at £50 plus the cost of genuine skoda filters, better than the £140 dealer charge. Nothing else needed until now when a rear seat belt socket has failed and the exhaust ( I think) is knocking.

A good quick little car that regularly does 300 mile trips. I am retired but do 10,000 annually.

I prefer taking it to Wales over my wifes focus 1.6 estate. In fact if I'm on my own I prefer it that way. If someone else is coming I upsell to there car; normally bigger.

 

I've found it to be very cheap motoring really. the only down side I've had is I took the floor out of the boot to access all that extra space. Unfortunately the spec sticker got trashed on the first weekend due to a very wet weekend.

I hadn't thought of groupon for servicing... clever chap
