Just wanted to say thanks for all the info and input into running my Citigo, family needs means I a moving up to a Fabia! I need four doors. So, So long to my brilliant Citigo Sport, I will be just next door in the Fabia room instead.

Good luck, cracking cars the Fabia. Maybe you could find time to post your opinions and comparisons on here once you've run the Fabia for a while. Would be interesting.

The Fabia is a huge leap in price, despite me buying 2nd hand, its still what I paid for a nearly new citigo, so I think a lot of the improvements are in that extra spend, but overall its shows up the citigo is pretty well specced for the money

 

fabia vs citigo 

• no more hill braking :(
• quieter cabin
• slicker gear change and clutch,moved like a feather.
• built in PID isnt as good - phone has no stored fave phone numbers you have to use the contcts or previous calls or a naff find or voice call (which never gets the right name) but calls much clearer :(
• no more status screen (mpg/miles to go, range etc) its in the dash trip computer one by one, but no "all in one" screen like the citogo has :(
• nav, next direction can be on the dashboard as well or instead of.
• DAB!
• SDCard media cant play "all in folder" in a way that uses sub folders. eg I have "dubstep" folder, with several albums underneath. I can't choose dubstep as a random mix folder, only a sub folder with one album in. :(
• twin window electrics with "all the way" switch and works without ignition (a)
• less headroom :(
• seats all the way back now :( , but more rear legroom  
• only driver door opens on remote, two clicks for all doors - annoying but may get a s/w update
• remote can open and close the windows surely there is a s/w switch for the citigo, its not complicated, but might be tied to the electrics needing ignition on as in (a)?
• boot shelf lid with string!
• aircon option to feed the glove box for cold cans - but not an option on mine :(

 

 

 

You should be able to ask your Dealer to re program the door remote. It was the first thing I did on my Mk11 Fabia as the 'one click two click' thing drove me up the wall.

Interesting comparisons, how does the drive compare because my little Seat Mii is probably the easiest car to drive I've ever owned and after my recent 1150 miles trip I found it to be very comfortable. No disputing the cutting of corners in the build though, compared to the Fabia.
