The VW Up scored 67%, more than the Ford Ka at 60% and well
below the Fiat 500 at 73%, the Suzuki Splash at 74% and the Ford Fiesta at 82%. The VW Up
lags because it has "cramped rear seats, and a boot that's city car
sized". And the "thrummy 1.0 engine is barely up to the task of out of
town driving".
I don't think we should take the Which reviews
seriously. I've been doing a daily 30 mile each way commute on dual
carriageways and motorways and I've never noticed a lack of engine
oomph. And space in the back is surprisingly good, and I speak as
someone who regularly travelled in a range of small cars when we all
went to a pub at lunchtime on Fridays.
According to Honest John:
"Space in the rear is good, with room for six-foot passengers."
"The 251-litre boot is also significantly larger than is typical in this class. ".
"Performance isn't overly impressive - the 60PS model takes 14.4 seconds
to reach 62mph while the 75PS model takes 13.2 seconds - but the Up
never feels as though it's lacking in any way, particularly in town,
which is where it'ss most at home."
According to Andrew English in the Daily Telegraph:
"Inside, the first thing you don't notice is how the Up's cabin will
accommodate four adults with ease, along with their luggage in the narrow
but deep, 251-litre boot."
"The is a game unit which loves to rev and gives respectable round-town
performance despite its 59bhp. On the open road, progress is refined and
quiet, despite almost 4,000rpm on the clock at 70mph."
I could go on as you all know.
