Have to say I'd never even seen a picture of the Citigo so thought I'd take a look at them side by side and having done so, the up! is most definitely the classier, more striking and more eye-catching of the two.
I know they have to make certain cosmetic differences between them but I'm afraid the very square lines and "typical" car look of the Skoda don't do anything for me, I much prefer the smoother, curvier look to the up! and I think it's cute, cheeky grin is what makes all the difference.
Can't say I'm overly keen on the Skoda colour range either, even though it's a bigger range than the up!
Said it before and I'll say it again, the only way is up!
