Mrs G's new CitiGo.........

[Auric Goldfinger]

Picked up Mrs G's latest car Today.  CitiGo Colour Edition, Crystal Blue with Black Wheels and Sunset Glass.

 

A really big thank you to  Des Winks Skoda, Scarborough, Excellent First Class Service.

Interior pictures please

[RickW]

Looks great! My wife picks up her new Citigo in Crystal Blue next month.

 

Any chance of a picture of the instrument panel please? It may answer the binnacle debacle on another thread.

 

And when when did the order go in please?

The Colour Edition is based on the SE Trim, manual/non heated mirrors and no Multi Function Steering wheel.

Des Winks had the car in there Stock, it's only a runner around so no fancy gadgets. ( came with a spare wheel )

 

The SkodaMore & Fun App works very well ( iPhone 8+ )

Good to hear the local Skoda dealer offering a good friendly service, I’ll end up taking the Monte for its service!

Really good service, we are down in Nafferton so not too far away

[RickW]

Thanks for the interior pictures. 

 

There's been some concern if the latest Citigo's still get three dials on the instrument cluster,but this proves there's nothing to be worried about.

Poverty Spec only gets the Speedo. The Move and Fun app works really well and gives more Info plus Sat Nav. It's an absolute hoot to drive only 60 bhp but goes and handles like a Go Kart

Nice one! Thanks.

Fantastic colour there for Mrs Goldfinger, I had the colour edition as a loan car while the Fabia was in for some repairs to the bodywork.

 

Never realised Des Winks did Skoda’s now, do they still do VW?

One thing I couldn’t work out... how do you actually get into Skoda?

Well, The Story goes, in 1999 Mrs G and myself didn't own a car, we looked around for weeks looking at different makes etc etc and Mrs G suggested a Skoda, let go look she said.

 

" NOT IN A  MILLION YEARS AM I HAVING A SKODA " was the reply. Well wind forward a month and here we are in a Skoda Showroom.  Within 30 minutes we had bought a Skoda Felicia 1.3 Pacific, Special Edition and never looked back. Mrs G new CitiGo is our 27th Skoda. We have had every model, in almost every trim level but we have never had a Superb or a Yeti ( we arn't that old )

 

We just Love them

The youngsters do not know about Skoda's past ridicule. My 28 year old son does not understand Skoda jokes and looks at me bewildered

I agree, it's only us oldies remember how bad they were. A chap I used to work with bought an Estelle and it was rusting within a month.
