Thank you everyone for your kind comments ❤ I couldn’t be happier! Just a few details I forgot to mention: The car has had 1 owner (another thing important to me.) The mileage is actually just under 55k (not 60 like I said.) plus it’s also been serviced at VW every 10k miles so 5 stamps in the book ✌🏼oh lastly I also forgot to mention that the yellow headlights are 🤢 especially comparing to the Lupos Xenon’s, so that is also on the list!

I've started to warm to these! I'm looking into a small fun hatch to go along side my merc for when I just want to zoom about town and these are great. Hope you enjoy! And great idea going for a higher mile knowing you won't be adding much more to it, I do exactly that and reap the rewards of saving a few grand and still getting a pretty new motor 😎

I have the same one 5door with digital climate/hight adjustable seats/auto lights/auto wipers/rear sensors and camera/black roof and cruise control. Love the little up and love the mpg it returns

[andrewsanton]

Glad you like you UP GTi, I use Des Winks and can confirm they are great to deal with. They are a VW and Skoda dealership in Scarborough.

I am a driving instructor and I teach in a Skoda Citigo. I bought it brand new in 2015 for £9, 400 with dual controls and thought I would replace it after 2-3 years but 7 years later it is still amazing. I don’t want to replace it. It is 59 bhp and I love it. I hope you enjoy it.

The UP! Gti is a superb little car, it’s just carrying on the mantra of the Mk1 golf Gti and the Lupo Gti imo

👍🏻

Enjoy the new ride - very eye catching in red! BTW, the interior visibility looks amazing.

Your passion shines thru! Good Call Tish! I own a 2013 Up! We don't have the GTI in Oz.
Next on your list should be a CYBRTRK! I have a Day 1 reservation.

Great review 👏👏👏I have owned my Up Gti nearly 3 years and I love it’s to the Moon and back ❤️ PS as someone mentioned Tish please watch out for Pot Holes I’ve sadly hit a few, luckily no damage but omg the noise u think the engine has fallen out !!!! 😮

[mikeabbott]

Great little cars, have had one since launch which we spec'ed up, have Auto lights and city assist along with digital climate, cruise and parking sensors. At the same time we had a Golf GTI Edition 40 but on some roads the Up! was more fun. Drives like a go kart 😀

[davidmoss]

Lovely, got my 5 door in white from Des Winks. 😍

[mr_glasgow]

I had the first registered Up GTi in Scotland and it was a great car. I'm also on my second Abarth 595 Comp also a great car minus the seating position for taller drivers like me lol

[jamescollins]

Just keep an eye out for potholes. Mine is a 22-plate and I've had to replace the front passenger tyre twice at £145 a pop because of sidewall damage. Otherwise your summary covers it.

[maltevosspetersen]

just found your channel due to my constant search for parts to my own up gti. cant wait too see what you do to it.

[richardhargrave]

Its like you got a good deal!
It suits your needs and you're really happy with it, which is what counts the most.
Nothing from VW Group does it for me, but I can see why you went for this UP!
I'd leave it red all over, but its your car and you can do what you want.
Can't think of anything else, except maybe a Mini Cooper (expensive?), you could have gone for, its totally different to an Abarth. You can't compare.
I had 4 Abarths and I loved them all, but they are not relaxing on a long journey, you have to "Drive" all the time, which is what makes them fun, but more tiring on a long run.
I think the UP! is better for your needs, with some fun thrown in
What really impresses me with your reviews is that, you are a massive VW fan, but you don't let this override your reviews of other cars

Dear Tish, as the old saying goes, " you pays your money and you makes your choice!" Any negativety on your choice is irrelevant. I believe you made the right choice and I trust in your judgement. As for power and performance, from everything said from the introduction of the Up! GTI, you can't go wrong! Many happy miles of motoring, Tish!

[Davidand-Goliath]

I love your car it is a looker and i remember Peugeot 1.6 GTI had about 115 bhp and yours is only a 1ltr engine it is true old school warm hatch.

[cliffhanger]

I currently drive an MX5 RF and looking to get an UP GTI next....hopefully this wont give me back problems but will still let me have some fun...

[craigtrigg]

great car tish i love it well done, loved watching your v/blog

Toyota Yaris Hybrid is also fun, and has more of the options you wanted.
