Typical vw imo. Nice inside, shame about engi :shocked:neering. I was a little concerned about underneath and wheel arches when I looked at one last year but that was as I was looking at long term ownership and mainly for winter use.
I much prefered the look of the SEAT Mii sport In black myself as its more car like looking.
But I can understand the apeal of the looks of the up! To a women.

i'm in touch with my feminine side! And can be in touch with real females too!!  :laugh:
Just configured one in light blue ('cos it's blue and free) with the sports suspension pack. About £11.5k
Considering my Ibiza GTI needs a service, cambelt soon, tax @ £200+ and exhaust repairs I'm going to give this a lot of thought.
I just need to try one over some speed humps and see how well they take the hills on Dartmoor.

Up is a cracking little car, really well put together and they have pulled off the bigger car driving position rather than sit up and beg like a lot of super minis

i'd been hanging out for the GT as a daily but couldn't wait, i really like the UP black when i spotted one in a dealer

the fox was awful

i think VW are missing a trick not putting more of these as courtesy cars as i reckon they'd shift a few more

Ha!  Hopefully she's got more sense than that!   Where I work someone has a Beetle and they've stuck those plastic eyelashes onto the headlights........it looks ridiculous.

Up is a cute car though  :smiley:
