Once again I have just spent a long weekend in the UK and as usual there were relatives and friends to see all over the country, so I hired a car. Instead of the usual Peugeot 206 I end up with (I’ve written reviews for the 1.1 and 1.4 HDI diesel models I hired previously), I was slightly taken aback this time to be given Volkswagen’s “baby”, the Lupo, in it’s most basic 1.0E form. This model currently lists at £7,445 on the road. As a mid-twenties red-blooded male the Lupo isn’t really my cup of tea car-wise (although I wouldn’t kick a GTI model out of my driveway if I was given one). No, small cars generally ...  Read the complete review

I bought my little 1 L VW Lupo 6 months and 13000 miles ago and I love it. OK, so it is my first car so I guess I would be chuffed even if it was a Lada. However this is a genuinely great little car. It small engine means the road tax is less and also puts it in insurance band 2 which meant as a driver with no insurance history I was able to get fully comprehensive insurance for under £500 (from direct line, online). The other boon of an engine this size comes at the pump. Now the car is well and truly broken in I pay about 7-8 pence a mile in petrol. Overtaking can be a bit of an ordeal however once it gets upto speed the car feels comfortable at 90 mph and can do 100 ..  Read the complete review

I bought my lupo 1.0E a year old/12,000 miles. I was used to comfort in my Citroen but decided to opt for a small, economical & reliable car. Initial impressions of the lupo suggested I could live with the harsh ride and noise, but after 4 weeks and 1100 miles it has totally fallen out of favour. It is just too noisy and uncomfortable compared to every other car/van/lorry I have ever driven. An uncomfortable vibration resonates through the cabin whether at rest or on the move, and after 10 minutes both feet and hands tingle from contact with the pedals/steering wheel. The clutch pedal assembly broke shortly after purchase and was fixed under warranty, but the garage says  Read the complete review

The VW Lupo 1ltr was my first ever car. I bought it for £2599 a couple of months after passing my test. The insurance was £1200 (good job I bout a 1ltr!) but in the coming years it soon went down to £300. My Lupo was a pale blue colour which always managed to look clean. The paintwork was in very good condition apart from on the roof where I had some rust coming through on the roof sills. After speaking to my local VW dealership I found out that I could have this repaired for free under the 12 year corrosion warranty (12 year!), whilst they gave me a courtesy car to run around in. This I was really happy with, especially as mine was a 2001 model. ...  Read the complete review
