The results of the Auto Express Car of the Year 2012 awards have been revealed.

And it's good news for Skoda as the Citigo has been named as the overall car of the year as well as best city car.

Steve Fowler, Auto Express editor-in-chief said, "The Citigo offers small car buyers the space, quality and comfort normally associated with much larger cars, but at a fraction of the cost. It’s simply sensational value-for-money."

This is an excellent result for the Czech firm, especially considering that the Citigo is just a badge-engineered version of VW's up! and SEAT's Mii. The Skoda is, of course, the cheapest of the three and therefore arguably offers the best value for money.
