they are nice little cars which i don't think i've seen on the road ever!

but way too small aesthetically for me. even the fiesta felt small which is why i upgraded to a bigger car.

lovely though, there was one on here i think with all smoothed bits, looked awesome.

expensive though

Only want something small really, don't play golf anymore, so no need for a big boot

Like a diesel Punto

I gurantee that cost more than a Lupo for starters!

I test drove one of these before the Clio and was literally torn between the two but went for the Clio as it was a 5* rated Evo car. I would like to own one though to check off the list.

Once again they are popular for a reason.

before you dismiss these as girly 'small' cars, go drive one.

great build quality
fantastic handling
fast on any type of road
bigger inside than you would think
huge fun factor.

i keep hearing Vw and great build quality... its ok, nothing to rant and rave about imo...

Lupo gti's are fun little cars, but i do think they are still a little overpriced

Test drove one, nice looking little cars but nothing special when you compare the driving experence to other hot hatch's. Certainly not slow though and feel nice and tight but like a few have said overpriced when you compare them to other cars

Yeah they're more expensive.

I know they're more expensive, but they'd hold their value better than a corsa. My corsa's still low mileage but probably not worth as much as I bought it for.

Only the lack of a glovebox put me off getting a Lupo a while back. It was the best small car I test drove, even in 1.4 16v form.

VW's are supposed to be one of the best built cars.
It's not a vauxhall? So what, there's more than one car manufacturer in the world

Yes it was 8k,

It has a glove box, a 5* safety rating, back seats human beings can fit in and a boot that can fit a bit of my work stuff in,

It was also only a year and a half old with 18k miles on the clock

Im gonna say it, Id rather have a 106 GTi and the change TBH
