    I wish Volkswagen decided to market the UP! GTI here.. It is a bloody shame, because I already lived the JDM life with a 180sx during my 20s now I want to live that UK boy racer style where you are just cruising the towns. The lines and curves on this car is eye catching too.. My Up! Catches way more looks than my 180sx ever did.

    Always thought the VW UP! GTI was a bit like the GR Yaris of the 1.0 3 cylinders in some way in that everyone seem to only think of them and not the Ford equivslent, personally had a 140 Fiesta for 3 years and didn't get to drive it a huge amount because I had uni full-time and commuted by train but even 140 in like a 1300 kilo car felt quick to me. Probably will get something quicker next but maybe any more than 250 is just overkill unless you're doing long straights

    These roads dodgy AF, but than again, the dodgier the road the less chance of finding cameras on it.

    i've got a vw lupo 1.4, its on coil-overs and its a bit low but it doesn't scrape at all, handles like a go-kart, but it needs a new engine, gonna get another of the same engine but ill get the head ported, bigger throttle body, bigger injectors, cams, intake and exhaust and it should be around 140bhp if its done right, it only weighs 870kg so it should be pretty nippy

    The up gti definitely has the looks and a tidy little package. But if you want the same performance at a fraction of the price then look at a fabia se. Same 1.0tsi powerplant.
