7 years and 11 months ago I joined this forum to try learn more about when the UP GT (as it was called back then) was due to launch. I was pretty excited about it and remember looking all over for every bit of info I could find. As were quite a few others here at the time.
There was a secret demo car that a few journalists got to drive and yet VW remained very quiet about how likely it was for it to make it into production. Little did we know that it was another 5 years to go before it appeared.
I just went back and found a thread from 2013 where I finally got bored of waiting and gave up but ended my post by saying "I'm sure I'll get one at some point"
Well, 7 years later - the itch is finally scratched and this was delivered today
TBH, it's the fact I'm WFH (with no signs of that changing) which has made me choose the UP. It's replacing a Tesla Model 3 Performance which just wasn't being used and it was driving me mad to have such an expensive car sat in the garage. The UP should be a fun car and I won't fret at all if it does next to no mileage for the next few months.
