meredydd phillips Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Do I get a 1.0 lupo as a first car? I love them but are they the ideal first car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparkes43 Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Well, as i have a 1.4 and its my first car, i love them too (especially the green ones), ands yes great first car, great to learn in as they are so small and manoeuvrable etc. good on fuel etc personally i would like a bit more than a 1.0 as i think they have 50HP? and even my 75HP 1.4 is OK but once i pass i will chip mine to 100HP, but for me i think mine is quite fun to drive no matter what one you get as they are so light and smalldefinitely go for a Lupo.james Edited June 15, 2015 by jparkes43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan96 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 ive got a lupo as its my first car 1.4, its a good little car to drive around town in and good for parking due to its small size although ive got stubby aftermarket mirrors which are awful, but like any small car when I was motorway driving for around 2 hours the noise was a bit annoying. ive been driving nearly a year and my insurance was only £1200 with a box (also including a motorbike accident claim) which is good considering I know someone who pays over £2000 for a 0.9L corsa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
