Hi all, just orfered a new Citigo today... had to downsize and needed cheapest of the trio so went for a Citigo S in white. No extras just billy basic. I test drove an Elegance Greentech and havent even seen an S so itll be a culture shouck but hey needs must.
Luckily, theres one just been built so only a 3 week wait or so as its at factory.

I nearly went for the base Mii S but went for a base Up! instead. Even as a basic car they are pretty decent. Higher spec models just add more electrics, posher dash and a bit of leather on the steering wheel and gear lever and on the Citigo a rev counter.

The plug in satnav/bluetooth/media is worth having. Skoda comes with the socket pre-built as on the Mii but not the Up!? So you can add it at a later date if you feel the need.

Yes, it does have the PDI socket so can have one in future

Shame the Citigo does without rev counter and proper fuel guage, but I just had to get the cheapest. In future, when circumstances change then I can go posh!

Its my third new Skoda, I think I like them.

The basic Up! still has the fuel gauge and rev counter even though the brochure says not??? If you get the PID that gives you the option to have a rev counter and temp gauge visible, so is worth the £275 later on.

Skoda's are decent cars I have had three SEAT's only ended with the Up! as the deal on the Up! was better than the Mii, so my first VW.

My car is at Emden, awaiting a boat

I already have 4 mudflaps and some 14" Skoda alloys from an Elegance for it.

Excellent, getting closer

Just got an email from the garage today, my car is at Emden too!!

 

[barryG]

Cool, they can have a chat

 

[Itzben]

Ooooo car buddies lol

 

[New Girl]

Does anyone know where they sail into?

 

[Itzben]

Uk hopefully or its got on the wrong boat : s

 

[New Girl]

Haha! A little more specifically??

 

[barryG]

I think its Grimsby? Shame its not Southampton as I pass the docks a lot!

 

[New Girl]

Mine has to make it all the way to Inverness after that, might take a while!

 

[Itzben]

Ask your dealer where it sails to, it can't just go to 1 place! I'll ask mine tmro when I go in

 

[barryG]

Depends on what ship, there are several huge container ships that sail to the UK from Emden. I know they go to Grimsby, but I think other places too.
Hope the weathers not too unkind to them at the dockside!

Dug was delivered to newcastle, then brought up by transporter.
I think it depends where your dealers are based?

 

[New Girl]

I got in touch with my dealer today and the ship my little Up will be on sails into the Tyne. Not long now!!

 

[barryG]

I hope mines sailing further south

 

[New Girl]

Im sure it will be barry, mine is on route to the highlands, so thats probably the most northern shipping destination they sail to.
