vw UP or skoda citigo

I have been to look at these 2 cars today, plus a polo. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas about the UP or the citigo, I realise they are going to both be premium prices as they are new models. I would like to downgrade from my golf, trying to cut my cuts etc.

I sat in the citigo but it didnt feel immediately comfortable like the UP, could this have been psychological? I tried a used polo 1.2s 3 dr, with 6000+ on the clock, which worked out about the same price as the UP, the skoda being about £1000 cheaper than the UP. Any help or suggestions will be gratefully received.

I am erring on the used polo, as its not going to be the premium price of the other two

    Wait for the Seat Mii, it looks the far better of the three.

    I was looking at the Mii but I'm put off by all the bare metal.

    what about the Fiat Punto Easy 1.2 - £9900 with Blue&Me Sat Nav, Climate, rear parking sensors,cruise control?

    If your looking to cut costs why on earth are you looking at new cars?

    If you don't find joy in the snow,
    remember you'll have less joy in your life


    ...but still have the same amount of snow!

    Going to look at the Kia Picanto in summer, cheap to run and not such a blocky design.

    bare metal, is that something more technical than it sounds?
    I have method in my madness in reducing my operating costs
