Hi all!
I've been browsing the forum for the past couple of months and have finally joined up! (No pun intended, honest
)
My question is based on the fact that I'm going to start learning to drive in the next few months and was wondering if the up would be a good car to do that in... It would probably be a second car for us and as such we don't need a massive car.
I though the best choice would be the Move up! with a spare wheel and Maps & More as I'd probably need things like a rev counter that there isn't in the Take up!
We're also considering the Polo for the fifth seatbelt but the fresh look of the up! as well as the cheaper insurance and lower running costs could well swing us in the direction of the up!
I know the up is possibly a little basic to some people but the idea of starting off with just the basics does seem attractive to me...
Does anyone else have any suggestions or views? I know that there's already a lot of threads on whether the Maps & More is any use but any ideas on it's use for a learner would be most welcome. I've seen reviewsespeciallyfor learners such as at http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/young-drivers/learner-road-tests/learning-to-drive-in-a-volkswagen-up">Honest Johnbut they don't mention much about the add-ons.
Edit: Forgot to add... 3 door or 5 door?
Thanks in advance!
