I wonder how many Up! buyers are new to VW, and what make of cars they have bought in the past?
I guess many of us have had a number of VWs (our family total is 8 Polos, 1 Golf, 2 Jettas, 4 Passats),but what brand did you favour before that? I had a fair few Fordies before I saw the light
It's just a car for me, and the brand has little significance. In my view the VW brand is created by advertising, which accounts for a large part of the purchase price e.g. 5%. It just happens to be a very good car.
This is my first VW, previously I had a Ford, and a Nissan. When I as young, my parents had a VW camper van. I have very fond memories of it, although a recent journey in a colleagues van was a disappointment. I think they were very spartan by today's standards.
personally ive always been a VW fan, but then my first only and current car is a polo!
mum also has polo, she had peugeot before and ford before that. dad has a golf now, eos before that, then before he had MG, rover, vauxhall, fords etc etc.
my brother is a vauxhall fan, and still is, but his run around is a golf currently and was a polo before that.
so id say the current love for vw is definatly running in my family!
I've mainly driven Fords in the past, with the occasional Nissan and Renault thrown in.
I've never owned or driven a VW (beforemy Up)and hope my new car is as reliable as VWs are made out to be. The fit and finish of the car seems very good, even though corners have been cut here and there.
This is my first VW my previous car was a clapped out fiat sciento. My other half used to have a golf gti , he absolutly loved it and very reluctantly gave it up as it was too expensive on fuel. He persuaded mevto get the up as i was **** bent on getting a fiat 500 ..... Until i took the up for a test drive and was fell instantly on love

This Black Up! is also my first Volkswagen. My previous cars were Opel Kadett 1.6 D (white), Opel Kadett 1.4 S (dark blue), Opel Astra 1.6i (caribbean blue) and Rover 75 2.0 V6 (midnight blue).
VW up! will be my first car ever, so I am a virgin in more ways. I have only driven a Toyota Dyna at work, as a delivery man, shortly after I got my drivers license in '97.
each car I've owned has always been something different, but this Up is my second VW !! I've owned a Vauxhall, Ford, Renault, Smart and now a VW and I have to say I dont think I would buy anything other than VW or Smart ever again!!
A few of the cars I have previously owned are: Opel, Ford (x2), Vauxhall (x2), Daihatsu, Mitsubishi (x2), Suzuki (x2) Smart (x2). Looking back I have only just realised the x2 thing!<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
As I work for a German company all our fleet vehicles are VW/Audi/BMW, so I have previously had VW company cars (I am now office based so no longer have a company car), but this is the first VW I have owned as a private vehicle.
this is my first VW, have owned alot of others. Cant say anything negative so far. VW do have a good reputation, role on the GT Up! and I'll stick with the brand
This is my first VW - I previously drove my husband''s Audi A3 convertible which he still has, a BMW Z4, BMW convertible mini cooper (when they first came out) several Mazda MX-5s Sports which I loved to name but a few
But I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my VW up! Our son has always had VWs and even his wife has a beetle

I had a string of Peugeots at the time when they were worth buying for the way they drove but I eventually got fed up with them falling apart and switched to VW. Been driving VWs for 13 years now but I have had my fair share of problems including a £2500 gearbox issue with my Passat.... they're good cars but not really that much better than most other modern marques nowadays.
Hi everyone,
Hope you are all dealing with this lockdown alright.
Having nothing to do so going to bed at 4 and getting up at midday has led me to start having a recurring dream, and I wanted to share it with you just in case anyone has anything similar.
