I keep darting about the forum with my posts, as I'm not sure where the best place for Citigo/Mii talk is, so sorry about that! Anyway, here are my thoughts after my second day of ownership (in which I have mostly been driving about here, there and everywhere with a big smile on my face!).
The not so good first:
The boot is smaller than I had realised. It wasn't until I put a few shopping bags in that I really appreciated how much smaller it is than the boot of the Yaris I just traded in. I think I will miss being able to slide the back seat forwards to make the boot bigger, however, on the plus side, it is very easy to fold the back seats down (this was a right faff in the Yaris).
Accessing the back seats is a pain. I rarely have any back seat passengers so not really an issue for me, but I wouldn't buy the three door if regular access to the back is required.
The wide door sills are muck magnets. The roads were wet today and when I got home the sills were filthy.
That said, I'm loving the car! I'm driving fairly conservatively at the moment but it's just a pleasure to drive. I'm really impressed with the start/stop - I've never driven a car with this before and wasn't sure what to expect, but it works so well, the engine restarts so quickly that there's no delay in pulling away (I've been really pleased every time I've come to a red light so I could try it out!).
I love the big car feel you get from these little motors, the seats are very comfortable, and it just feels like a good place to be. I especially like the big chunky leather steering wheel. I've had the PID on today, trying out the satnav, phone functions, car info etc. Impressed with it so far, although I'm not sure how often I'll use it once the novelty wears off!
Oh, and since I've parked it up, I just can't stop myself from peeking out of the window on a regular basis just to admire it
