  1. On my second UP GTI, 14 months ownership in total with 5K miles covered and no issues whatsoever. The Up GTI is what it is. My wife has just taken delivery of a brand new Polo GTI and at £30K, I am not sure its 50% better than a 20K Up GTI. Each to their own of course.
  2. Remaining Up models are only available from dealer stock. Recently changed my 3 door Tornado red Up GTI for a 3 door Pure White one which is higher spec and a little newer. For me there is nothing not to like about them and they are an end of an era.
  3. Try living with one for a while and you might.
  4. I take it you aren't a fan lol. I have to say I am quite taken by my Up GTI. Things move on of course but I find it much more enjoyable to drive than my Lupo GTI's.
  5. Your comparison of an Up to "various Lupo's and Arosa's" is based on driving just one Up?
  6. Yep that's my understanding there are only 5 Laser Blue GTI'S. I know of 2 members on here who are long term owners and I have seen a third one pop up for a short while until the member moved it on as his daily commute had increased significantly.
  7. Thanks for the offer but having had three GTI's the next one has to be Laser so it could be a long wait. Its not so much the performance of the GTI that attracts me, it's the old school VW treatment to produce it. I believe the only body panel a GTI shares with any other Lupo is the tailgate. Add in the other things such as the changes to the body shell and the aluminium bonnet and doors and I think you have one special car.
  8. Good luck trying to find a laser blue GTI. I think you will be trodden on in the rush by quite a number of members on here.
  9. Good luck with your rebuild. Keep us posted on your progress 👍
  10. Decided to move to 205's all round. Fitted Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6's and delighted with them. Great handling, improved stance and excellent rim protection.
  11. This is the exact reason after 3 Lupo GTI's, I decided to step away from them. Each time I replaced a GTI with another, parts were becoming more and more difficult to source. I still think they are a special car but I can't see me buying another.
  12. Great job and very impressed with what you have done.
  13. Some pictures would no doubt help with your sale.
