I was tempted to go for a Seat, ive heard good things, but could resist going for another VW, especially as cute as the up! is. I've always driven VW's since i passed my driving test, we're a multiple VW household, mum has had a polo for years, dad had an eos as a company car, and now being retired has a golf convertible. my current car is also a polo, we've always loved them, quality and reliability.... the only reason I'm now changing my polo for the up! is because my polo is now 12 years old and being the open air edition unfortunatly the soft roof has finally got holes and is leaking and will cost more than the whole car is worth to fix it...
i know Skoda is amazing value for money, just never been tempted.
