Lupo GTI's - Pricey bugg3rs!

If I had to have a small car I'd defo go for a Lupo GTI and mod it. Pocket Rocket and having used one I can say that they are much roomier than you may imagine.

indeed, anyone see that episode on top gear where they had two on the motorway and clarkson couldnt get over how roomie they were inside and it was very good fuel and great little runner even frequent motorway use

I've got one as well as a mk3 16v. And they are easy to live with. Lights are good. And very reliable. I've got a Raceland manifold and a janspeed cat back system and this transformed the power and response . But is still fairly quiet. Its surprised a few bigger cars.  For its size it can carry 4 fairly comfortably but the boot space is it comprimised. Enough for some ICE and a little luggage space.

It definately needs a suspension change from standard. Handles brilliant and is still comfortable with coilovers. The brakes should be 280mm too. Otherwise the ABS likes to cut in all the time when braking on uneven surfaces.

Didn't realise they were still holding their prices tho.

I had a look at my mates Lupo GTI the other day and have to say I would have his over my mk3

I did price up how much it would cost for one + making it look good when I got my car but it wasn't worth it. He paid just over £7000 for his, but its one of the ones that was featured in PVW a few months back and has alot of moddifications done to it already

Nothing below about £4.3k! 

Not even the grey one, the red one & the black one then ?

Hold their values really well and always will. How some one would choose a mini over a Lupo is beyond me. In a Lupo you look cool, in a mini you look like a girl.

Lupos are actualy a small car aswell...yet they manage to be roomier inside then a mini but smaller on the outside and just as much boot room
