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

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?0 -
If your looking to cut costs why on earth are you looking at new cars?0

talking to a bloke had one of these on hire in some junta country,said it was the worst slowest car he had ever driven0 -
The Up has got a lot of bare metal as well.0

Going to look at the Kia Picanto in summer, cheap to run and not such a blocky design.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

bare metal, is that something more technical than it sounds?
I have method in my madness in reducing my operating costs0
