Hi. Collecting my new Move up! tomorrow. Tornado red 5 door, I resisted most of packages but opted for full size spare wheel and the sound pack. Looking forward to it but have you guys with longer ownership got any tips for a new owner - or things to watch out for? What mpg is realistic? My neighbour has the Skoda Citigo and gets 60mpg on a run. Is this your general experience? All thoughts welcome.<div id="LCS_FE1DEEEA_DB6D_44b8_83F0_34FC0F9D1052_communicationDiv">

Hi and welcome.Lots of useful stuff on this forum....and snap ( tornado red 5 door ).We have only done about 240 miles as yet so all I can say at the moment is no problems at all.Great cars for the price. We did a 60 mile trip over Easter and the maps and more showed 62.7mph....so well pleased.
Enjoy tomorrow,
Go well.

Mpg depends on your driving style and type of journey last summer I was getting 75mpg on way to work and 65mpg on the way home, more down hill driving going to work.
Things to watch out for are leaving your parcel shelf up, you will do it at some point
Fuel filler cap if your not used to key type familiarise yourself with it before you go to buy petrol (it has caused some confusion to others)
And take it easy for the first 750 - 1000 mile, don't expect to be able to overtake, straight away acceleration falls flat till engine bedded in

hey welcome! things to watch out for hmm... haha there's one thing circulating on here at the minute about the parcel shelf staying up! When you open your boot you have to manually lift it up and manually close it again but sometimes us uppers forget and then get frustrated when we look in the rear view mirror to see it up haha
also the fuel flap doesn't lock at all so always make sure you lock the black twisty cap!
In the colder weather peoples up!s have been misting up quite fast and regularly I find driving with the a/c on stops or slows it down in mine!
as for fuel consumption the m&m will tell you a better average than you are actually doing, people state on here about brim to brim fuel stops and calculating it, but I downloaded and app and have kept it up to date for day1 and I am averaging around 45-48 mpg I could write the list out but theres no need! hopefully when it warms up a bit my mpg will be going up with it!
You chose well with your extras lol spare and the sound pack! Well worth it in my opinion!
hope everything goes well tomorrow and up load some pikies lol

Thanks. I was told by the dealer about the filler cap problem so I hope I remember when I next fill up. Two days in, 47 miles on the clock and I've already been caught out by the parcel shelf. Looking forward to using the forum over the coming weeks/months.<div id="LCS_FE1DEEEA_DB6D_44b8_83F0_34FC0F9D1052_communicationDiv">
