I no longer needed a Chelsea Tractor. The Citigo has enough features, is not over complicated, it is easy to drive , comfortable and economical. This is my fourth Skoda ( each a different model ). Need I say no more ?

Skoda Citigo (2012-2020) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Better value than a VW Up | Interior not as posh as VW Up's |
| Fun yet comfortable to drive | Equipment can feel a little basic |
| Cheap to run | Limited performance |
Quick Summary
The Skoda Citigo (2012-2020) is a practical, fun, and exceptionally affordable city car from the Volkswagen Group. Available in three- and five-door variants, it offers surprising spaciousness for its size with a 251-litre boot and comfortable seating for four. The light steering, responsive gearshift, and planted handling make it a joy to drive around town, whilst the 1.0-litre petrol engine delivers willing performance with fuel economy of 45-50mpg. Safety is excellent, with a five-star Euro NCAP rating and optional autonomous emergency braking available.
Running costs are exceptionally low, with insurance in groups 2-4 and road tax free for pre-2017 models. The electric Citigo-e iV, launched in 2019, offers up to 161 miles of range and costs just over £5 for a full charge. Depreciation is steeper than the VW Up, but the Citigo remains one of the best value small cars available. It's practical, reliable, and efficient—ideal for budget-conscious buyers seeking a versatile urban runabout or those considering an affordable small EV.
Best for: Budget-conscious buyers, urban commuters, first-time car owners, and those seeking an affordable small electric vehicle (Citigo-e iV).
Not ideal for: Those prioritising premium interior quality, high performance, or requiring a three-person rear bench seat.
