I have driven a move up 60 bhp today and found it surprisingly good although in reality i will probably end up ordering the higher powered version and are wondering if anyone has first hand experiece of driving both and if so their thoughts.
I've not driven any yet, hope to get in a 75 black up next week. From what I've heard and read online there isn't much difference in the engines, the 75 has slight longer revs and both feel nippy. Glad I've gone with the 75 tho, technically has more power than my 1.2 60 polo
From what I've heard, the difference between the 74 HP and the 59 HP engine is minimal until you're above 3000rpm, so if you're light-footed, you're better off with the lesser powered model.
Interesting Point Phil we drove the 60bhp over 9xmph 3 up! no pun intended.
We have ordered the 75 anyway, but I am well impressed by the power train we have done about 120k in tri Daihatsu and Daewoo. But Gotta say the VW unit is a gem by comparison, maybe not as much torque as say a Twin Air Fiat Turbo, but the it won't .
I've test driven a 75bhp Up! White and ordered a 60bhp Take Up! but not driven it yet, so I'm hoping reports that there isn't much difference are correct.
