The Skoda Citigo is more than just a rebadged version of the Volkswagen up! and Seat Mii. It has the style to compete with the Fiat 500, the quality to rival the Kia Picanto and enough space to put it on terms with a Hyundai i10. Whichever version of the 1.0 petrol 3-cylinder engine you choose, you'll have decent performance and okay economy, too. But what impresses us most is how mature the car feels, both in terms of interior quality and the way it drives. The Citigo will seat four people in reasonable comfort and the boot is okay, too, while there are plenty of big-car options including air-con, an automatic gearbox, sat-nav and a full-length glass sunroof. The Skoda Citigo is one seriously good value and talented city car.
I'm 6ft 5 and this car is surprisingly spacious in the driver's seat
You’re 6ft 5 do you fight a little platypus 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Funnily enough my mechanic has an Octavia that has done half a million miles. I think that's testament to their reliability.
I bought my 14 plate citigo yesterday morning and spent all day driving it on A roads and in city traffic and I must say I wasn't expecting much from this car but man was I wrong!
This little car is amazingly nippy and gets to 70mph much quicker than I expected and certainly much faster than my 20y.o. Micra.
I bought the 1.0 MPI SE 5dr model and it really is a lovely car to be in even my partner loves it and she's not that impressed by cars.
On that I will say please don't be put off by the Skoda badge, this is seriously a car you should be looking at if you want a small practical car that will do everything exceedingly well!!!!
Onto our second Citigo now. Couldn’t be happier... excellent car
Came here to see Mat's early videos from Carbuyer and have to say very crisp and humorous as always 😁😁
The Citigo is lovely, practical, big (even though it is small), economical. I have a Yaris and I would definately get one of these to replace it.
vw up - skoda citigo- seat mii
Are the same thing- you decide the brand.. i like most the mii by the way
Ingenious! Get the Skoda Press office to do the technical bit of the review for you! Love it Mat!
It's wonderful the interior space than all Skoda's have! Octavia, Superb, Scala, Rapid, Spaceback, Scout, Yeti, Roomster, Fabia, and even Citigo! Not mentioning Kamig, Karog, and Kodiag, and like VW Group, got a very good engine consume
Nice little car. Can take 4 adults, manage a little shopping, is economical and quite practical too with the seats down.
Cheaper to buy used as well. That Skoda badge :)
I like the skoda badge it brings happiness in my already happy life 👍👍👍🥂🥂
@@MotorTorq_ZA Pity.
Now you just need a review of the Seat Mii!
Brilliant little car, had one from you and never missed a beat
I love my Citigo. Can carry 4 people comfortably and I can fit 2 suitcases in the boot. Full tank does about 380 miles and costs £35 roughly to fill. Only annoying thing is the parcel shelf which doesn't appear to come off!
parcel shelf does come off.
+alan carter found this out recently lol when I thought it had broken
Kira Anastasia does it have bluetooth?
When I serviced my skoda, I saw the citigo on display at the showroom.
I asked them if the stripes are from the factory, and why do they look so worn. They said it's because of the sun and the heat from the engine.
Not a hater, just pointing it out.
I like this one more than the up! and the Mii, though they're practically the same
Quite simply the BEST city car available. No question. Shame it has now been discontinued. However, the next model up - the Fabia - is also an absolute Superstar.
I it’s been discounted for a reason but Volkswagen will not say why worst car I have ever had and driven
To people saying they copied VW, well no because all three cars of VW Auto Group ( VW Up! , Skoda Citigo , and Seat Mii ) share mostly of their components except for some bodywork. :-)
I like both Mr. Watson and Miss Jackson
Well done Mat Watson, great work as always.
That's much nicer than the up and the mii. Would rather have. Sportier
I’d take this over the VW for the lack of gloss interior. That’s a total migraine trigger on the up!
that red verision in here is sooo much prettier than the green one appearing everywhere in commercials in my country. Great review, just as always ;]
loving each and every review from you guys @ carbuyer
"under the correct conditions the system works perfectly" that is the engineering way of saying dont test it because if you crush it we will claim the conditions were not correct and you have to pay for it
i think there is one more reason to buy this car instead of vw up except the price...it looks five times better :)
I hope Skoda have sorted out the Water Spray Tubes that have 'Pop on Tulip Connections in them as they tended to disconnect and leave a Wet Carpet area especially in the Rear Foot well. Repeatedly trying to force the Rear water spray to work after Cold Weather will cause the Tulip Connectors to 'Pop Off'. ( Briskoda.co.uk ).
...And Autobrake helps the car in getting 5-stars in EuroNCAP tests.
One US gallon is 0.83 of British gallon. So just multiply the MPG by 0.83 - that gives you 50 US MPG...
It's good to see that for the important reviews they use Mat, not some women.
True. But imagine a situation, where You're distracted for a second, what happens of course, and a child suddenly runs before Your car. Autobrake systems are designed especially for that kind of situations
I preference skoda over vw
That is a nice car
I appreciate that
I pick mine up tomorrow...the five door version :)
honestly id take this one over the UP
drove for a week rented Up! and it's truly great to buzz around city (Belgrade) Love the 12V engine, handling and comfort... dislike heavy door that require manly force to close, co0driver window can only be lowered from his door, noise isolation from the back of the car... on a rainy day it's almost like it's opened at back, behind rear seat! But fun little car, so City Go being re-branded Up can only be better thanks to more affordable price!
The Skoda Citigo looks better than the VW UP
Great car to drive, I almost bought one, but I didn't trust the gearbox on it, it made wierd sounds even on a practically new citigo.
I bought a Kia Picanto instead. The citigo was the better driving car, but the Picanto is reliable.
I would rather have the Mii, I love Seat!!!
Nice little car, for me it's either this one or the VW up! in white
"please work! please work!!"
Wow 8 years ago.
Mat...this is what you do best. Another great review. I would leave the R8s to someone else. Something about you in a helmet just doesn't mesh.
I don't get why people have to promote one car over another,as it's possible to have many good cars in any sector. That's definitely true in the city car sector. I'm a driving instructor and have had a Citigo for three months now and I think it's a cracker,it's easy to drive,well built with alloys,air con all for 7500 Pounds! The Yaris,Panda and Hyundai are all excellent cars too,but for me,the Citigo just edges. It just seems more solid and better built than the rest.
Another great review from Matt.
There are people who prefer the Up to the Citigo simply because the Up offers more "luxury". In my opinion, the Citigo offers much more for the same price. I almost bought the Up! White Edition for over €13.000 but I decided to check in on the Citigo first. Now I have the most luxuruous Citigo with parking sensors, panoramic roof, armrest etc. for even less money than the Up! configuration. Now that what I call bang for your buck!
I was at a Skoda dealership and there was a green Citigo in there :D
Next will be SEAT Mii? Right?
Matt you shaking up the show format again? :P
Thanks for this review helps my decision.
2 reviews in 1 day? WOOO!
It's not standard equipment, but you can have it as an optional extra in all countries.
I like the skoda
Because the Citigo/Up/Mi costs half the price of Audi A1. (£7500 versus £14000)
"Okay, bye, I'll be trying it!"
Right, so let's test it!
DiSASTer!
Yup it comes in a 5 door version as well
It's actually an interesting and impressive car.
Too bad the steering wheel can't be adjusted.
Are you going to Review The Seat Mii?
lovely car, gonna buy one
it differs from country to country. Also because somewhere greenline saves you tax, somewhere dont etc. But pretty much CitiGo and Mii are the same price lower than Up.
you finally made a review for Citigo!!! thank you!!!
Why does no other car have that Citysafe feature? Did it end up not working in the long run?
Nice review
I really do like this car! Great review :)
Head to head the Smart cdi passion and Skoda ASG both with options(!) in many different aspects almost tie on my scale. I love the Smart idea but they are unable to throw in anything to mach 3 years of Skoda's guarantee cost. What i could save on cdi's consumption would spend on service anyway. Silly now when Smart getting 'old' / outdated they just letting a me walking away. Looks like Smart losing me as potential costumer on this thing and want me to wait a few months for a Skoda ASG.
Nice review and an interesting little car that I'd never considered before. I don't mind the bonnet stripe, it's looks tapered towards the front so that it's not overtly a racing stripe. That said, I don't much go for the black wheels - a bit 'robocop' for my liking.
they have done the same with the Aygo/107/C1 which are all the same car as well; I think that they are trying to highlight the differences. Such as where the up! has the polished shiny dash, the Citigo may have the de rigeur grey dash. And he didn't demonstrate the citisafe system in the up! (if that car had it)
that safety feature is interesting
I know Skoda's owned by the VW group, and it's even supposed to be a poor cousin (which in my opinion it's not), but personally I do prefer Skoda over VW models. The Superb, for example, is a marvel! Cheaper in price, but never in quality. Great cars!
i pulled bare birds in this
2:35 a new way of parking!
Are these alloys and stripe custom or it can be ordered with the car? This is the first time I see these on any picture or video or review of a CityGo.
Btw, the exposed metal is actually a nice touch, reminds me of my Mk1 Golf. Better than squeaky and cheep plastic, that's for sure.
yeah i never liked micro cars either. The suspension is just not dimensioned for high speeds.
You can get the Up with a matt dash. I have one.
cool car, i like it. i even think it looks pretty cool!!
Everybody agrees with MAT!!! wow , congrats Matt...No dislikes:)
i also think both Mii and Citigo actually ended up to look better than Up.
The test car has a manual transmission right? If so, then did the engine stall when you did the garbage bin demo? Or the car has some sort of anti-stall device.
Mat, why is it written Skoda, not Škoda? There is no Š in english or in the keyboard you use?
Not being picky, just that it really is Škoda Auto, i mean what if we write Volksvagen from here on as well....not Volkswagen?
Out with Matt and back with rebecca wearing something tight!
Does anybody know if the stripe comes as extra? I didn't see the option on their web page
The Citroen C1 review was a re-upload, I already saw it yesterday
I think the up looks better though.
Totally agree.
Seat has it too.
Would rather have the Up! Nicer on the outside and inside
depends on trim
Is Navigon on standar equipment of the car in every country? In greece for example.
hey matt, im looking at getting a citigo elegance, is the 75ps worth the extra over the 60ps, i mainly drive on b and a roads very little on the motorway though. thanks =)
why is everyone so mean to skoda as skoda are made by vw. and skodas are better anyway
@Gruhak BluesRock you have to ask the dealer for it :)
Is there a different way of calculating MPGs in the UK? Theres no way that gets 60+ American MPG.
Props for using the word "sycophantic".
Well, of course you are not going to have a big market share, when your customers know where the cars are built. Kia did something much smarter, and started building their cars in Georgia, and that won them many many customers.
My wife's Octavia has so far proven more reliable than her Jetta.
Which is the cheapest: Citigo, Mii or Up?
I think both the Mii and the Citigo are better than the Up! The VW has got a polished and dashboard which may reflect the sun which is annoying and dangerous
howdy you know it didn't stall? if you slam the brakes in a manual while its in gear it won't start bunny hopping like it would when you stall while setting off, you'd feel vibration from the engine yes but it wouldn't start jumping about
or
he left it in neutral XD
agreed
Because VW for the US is made in Mexico. European VW are made in Germany, and are of higher quality. I don't know what possessed VW to do that to the US market.
But the problem is that yugo will break every year plus engine drinks 10l of petrol on 100km...but still the pride and joy of serbia :D
Since it's a manual, will it stall the car if the system detect a collision and stop the car?
Probably, but how is that even a concern
