Up Gti. Bargain at £13,750...?

[SydneyBridge]

Seems a pretty decent price to me

I like the look of that.

My daughter has a basic 1.0 Move and I was pretty impressed with that for a cheap car.

[JulianHJ]

Blimey, I'd never have guessed they were that much. They do look like fun though.

[Squadrone Rosso]

I think it’s on par with the entry level Abarth 500.

Quirky with the 3 pot too.

[LuS1fer]

Not a lot of progress in 40 years and the Golf still looks effortlessly stylish whereas the Up looks bland.
Not a bad price but I think I would go for the Swift Sport which looks more like a real car, has more power and weighs slightly less.
I wonder what a CitiGo VRS would cost....

[davidc1]

I really like it.i have a seat mii as a station car and it is a very good little car.this will be wicked fun.i will be test driving in the spring...

[ToothbrushMan]

i think a base price of 13750 is brilliant for a VW group badged GTi brand new car in 2018. its a steal.

whats the warranty these days 3 years or 5?

wonder what you can pay for one with the options list fully ticked? whats available?

the dark silver sounds lovely but not seen any pics of that colour. bet it looks rather classy against the small red details..

[andrewparker]

It’s on the vw.de configurator. The dark silver and black roof combo looks great.

Personally I think it looks great, I’m very tempted by one.

[Too Drunk to Funk]

Not a bad price, not sure it deserves the GTi badge.

[Dr G]

Love it, perfect for my commute.

If company car tax rules get much sillier...

[annodomini2]

I'm surprised they didn't put the 1.4tsi lump in this, unless it doesn't fit.

[ED209]

Maybe a little remap might sort it ? an extra 15hp would probably go a long way.

I prefer the 3 cyl

It's a surprisingly charismatic little lump (and I've only driven the 75PS version)

[sagarich]

Definitely a bargain, really like the idea of one of these as a run around.

[tigger1]

Drove the bog-standard Seat Mii a while ago - it was horrible. Slow, noisy, not particularly fun (not in the way an old, similarly slow Ford Ka was).

I'd imagine this is a bit nicer in terms of spec inside, and the extra 40bhp won't hurt, but I think I'd still prefer the polo / ibiza for a bit more money. The ibiza FR (115bhp?) can be had for £14600 allegedly:

Autotrader have just dropped a review!

A really like the idea of this, having struggled to use the power of both a cupra r and a edition 35 gti on uk roads, this is a compromise worth doing!

When we go on b road blasts, I'm sure my friend has the same amount of a fun in his corsa e as I do in the cupra r...

Good review, looks like only Auto Express don’t like it!

I'm in 2 minds, it doesn't fit in with modern power or styling, but it's a wonderful prospect, only a test drive will tell now.
