Popped into the Skoda garage this morning to get something for the Fabia and walked out having ordered a Citigo Monte Carlo in red. Going to be a bit of a change from a 200bhp Mondeo Titanium X but as I barely use the Mondeo nowadays it seemed daft keeping it. I test drove a 60bhp Citigo and it is fast enough, and for days when I "feel the need" we still have the Fabia vRS. At least the Citigo will cost peanuts to run compared to the Ford!

 

The car is already in the country waiting 'clearing' or something like that, so should only be a couple of weeks for delivery.

 

I'm actually quite excited and looking forward to driving everywhere at full throttle! Plan is to take it to a show or 2 and maybe get on the track with it at some point; that would be absolutely hysterical! Perhaps we need a dedicated Citigo track session that will look like everything is happening in slow motion! 

Good news fella

I've had mine a month and it's a great little car!

Great choice. You will enjoy it

Agree on the race track [emoji106]

Just got an insurance quote for the Citigo; £138 with (and do you know how old this makes me feel?) Saga! I suspect I'm not their stereotypical customer!

Seems I misunderstood the salesman when he said my car was waiting for clearance at the port. I assumed it was in the UK but apparently it is at the other end so still has a sea crossing to go. Gonna be a few weeks then. Still promising September delivery though.

I don't like to boast but... 

 

 

;)

Reading through various forums I have the rear wheel arch liners and variable boot floor mod to do.

 

Need 16" alloys as well! Might need to look at retrofitting cruise control as well, 

 

Can't wait ...

Just a few tips though.. the boot floor is a must have yes, but when I ordered mine from the VW garage I didn't actually receive all my screws, not a issue though, and with cruise control search for it on the forum as you need a specific ECU no. to have it fitted

I'm not good at waiting...

Thanks for that, I have had a search and read a few threads. To be honest it's not a big issue,I plan to spend most of my time at full throttle chucking the little bugger around Lincolnshire lanes!

Still nothing.

 

Will it be here and ready before Boss Fox's Citigogogogogogogo?

Yay! Car has arrived and I will collect it next week! More excited than a man my age should be!

Thats great news.

Ordered my Red Citigo Monte Carlo a few months ago now, been told this morning its finally built :clap: and on its way from the factory.

Good few weeks wait still I suspect.

Seem to be a few Monte Carlos coming on the scene; so who's going to start the "Official Briskoda Citigo Monte Carlo Register"?

Will be collecting the car on 25 September; woo hoo!
