That's exactly what makes the Up GTI a cracking little car to drive.

I’ve always regretted not taking one of those for a spin.
I never have as I know I'd want one and I have enough cars.  :grin:

Small, modestly powered cars often feel more fun to drive because they feel faster and you can drive them pretty hard without too many consequences.

But if you only have access to one car (like me), what are you going to want? Answer is a quick but compact quality motor. What might that be I wonder?
If you are a new driver with less than 1 year experience, insurance is a high priority. The i20 my grandson has just acquired is a fun car to drive with good spec - satnav, rear view camera, alloys etc and remains of 5 year warranty and 60 time of 12 secs. Horses for courses.
Mk6 GTI Carbon Grey, 2010 Bluetooth and voice fitted, a few VCDS mods still a comfortable family car. Red Scirocco 2011 twin charger stage 1 - enjoyable drive now gone.  White 2016 Polo GTI (roller skate on steroids) replaced with an Indium Grey 2019 7.5 GTI PP.

Cameron VW Perth has an R Edition 20 sitting in their showroom just now. Classed as “used” with 285 miles registered, it’s yours for £52,900.
Stunning car, stunning price!

A pain in the arse to maintain the paintwork but the black one looks good.

I quite like the blue wheels against the black. It’s a bit different and sometimes I like different.
Not so sure about the blue wheels on the white versions, but the black seems to get away with it.
