Wow!
^^^^
There seem to be quite a few for sale, I was surprised to see Volkswizard advertise his own Clubsport S, is the UP GTi really that good?
My son has the same engine in an Ibiza FR.
It’s nippy and fun plus has the MQB chassis which is leagues ahead of an up! chassis.
The up! GTI is probably a more useable fun package than a Clubsport S if you’re just using it as a road car in normal conditions and don’t expect to be taking all comers from the lights.
The up! GTI has massive limitations though.
But it’s cheap and fun and does 45mpg without trying.
Andrew (volkswizard) is a car dealer and journo so probably doesn’t get attached to cars.
He has a highly modded Ed30 for track use and the up! GTI for a daily. Plus a good few more cars in the garage.
It’s probably just a case of “up for sale at the right price, but if not...”
