I like em mate. Some might say a bit girly but I like the look of them. VW = reliable should hold its value too. Dunno about performance but I hear that they are a bit of a let down. Lupo GTI ftw!

Lupo ftw but they are obviously much rarer and its hard to find a good one @ a good price.
However the polo's are nice and a bit more sensible.
BTW the white one is a cat d so i wouldnt bother with it.
I do love my Lupo though;)

lupo GTi any day.
its hard to find one though as they are so rare especially if you are fussy about colour, mileage, condition etc
i dont see why people think they are girly?
their looks can easily be beefed up a bit if you think they look too girly.
one of my favourite cars. i would have had one if i didnt get the golf.

Haha cheers Ben.
Diddnt realise it was a Cat D though. Shame because it really does look the part! Bet with a bit of money though and mods like exhaust, filter, re-map and a strip out a Lupo GTI will be el rapido though.

I was so lucky with mine.
Deposit was put on my Saxo on the Tuesday, with the new owner coming on Sunday.
Rung the owner of the loop on Wed and knocked him down from £6100 to £5500 (he needed the cash as he was going through a break up).
Went to see it on the Friday, put deposit down that i was given on Tue.
Picked it up on Monday.
Great mileage for price and completely standard.

Thats the reason its white. Was in a bump so he got it done in white.
There is a guy on club lupo doing a 1.8 20vt conversion and another lad in some eastern european country that hs done a twin v6 conversion.

bet a lupo with a 1.8t would be fairly quick

i know a lad that had one mk5 01 reg
125bhp and insurance group is alot lower than a vts its like 10 or 9
mpg is better than a vts
not quite as quick as a vts about 8.5 0-60 top speed about 130 basically a vts top end, its a lil slower slightly! 0-60 as its alot better built safer and that = more weight. get some good goodies im sure it has cruise con, it has xeon lights, and from me mate that owned one with 120k on the clock that was very reliable
