Hi everyone!
Stumbled on this new forum as I searched for up! news on the web.
I'm from bonnie Scotland and have just ordered a High up! for July delivery. I'm a long-standing VW owner and fan although I've previously owned other marques as well. Been a member on various VW forums too over the years.
Most recently owned a couple of nice Polo Sports including a 130TDI which I will always regret having sold - factory ordered with nice list of options and one of very few in the UK. Last VW was a Passat Sport DSG estate which I loved but it had to go last year due to job changes and its ever increasing mileage. Have been a Lupo fan since they came out. The family has owned 7 of them over the years. I've had a Lupo as a second car since 2005 and will probably never sell it now as it will be 9yo this year but has only covered 24,000 miles. The up! is to become the main car in the household now as we don't need a big car as well as a small car any longer. I've opted for Tornado Red which also happens to be the colour of the Lupo. It's a tried and tested, and favourite, VW colour of mine for smaller cars. Looking forward to getting the up! and also getting my number plate off retention so that it can team up alongside the Lupo. The up! will get P33AAA while the Lupo will retain P22AAA. It's strange how people notice your plate and not your car after a while!
I'm really interested in the GT up! but can't wait that long to get my hands on it so the 75bhp will need to suffice for now. I test drove an up! Black at my local dealer and was impressed - no ball of fire but perfectly adequate for its use and just "felt" right compared to other small cars.
Looking forward to following everyone else's stories on here and seeing a few pics as you all take delivery. Cheers
