Welcome to the show down of the <a href="https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/best-cars/65220/best-city-cars-to-buy-2017">city cars</a>. 
Here, the <a href="https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/skoda">Skoda</a> <a href="https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/skoda/citigo">Citigo</a> takes on the <a href="https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/kia">Kia</a> <a href="https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/k
The Skoda Citigo was first launched in 2012, and uses the same platform as the <a href="https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/volkswagen">VW</a> <a href="https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/volkswagen/up">up!</a> and Seat Mii.
The Czech car had a <a href="https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/best-cars/14135/cheap-cars-2017-the-cheapest-new-cars-on-sale-now">low price</a>, which gave it the edge against its VW group brethren.
Inside there is a tipically no-fuss Skoda interior mixed with flashes of colour tying the car into its Monte-Carlo special edition which is aimed buyers wanting funky styling.
The <a href="https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-news/93132/best-new-cars-for-2017">new</a> Kia Picanto is the freshed car out of those we are testing having only recently been launched.
Like the Citigo there is a fun little three-cylinder under the bonnet, but there is more aggressive styling with this being the GT-Line.
Inside the quality is good, and again, there are flashes of colour.
The boot is not only home to onions after the weekly shop, but also a small engine which drives the rear wheels.
Inside the quirky Frenchness continues, with rounded trim and streaks of colour.
