where are you based?
how many miles to a tank?
how much is tax?
-

Find me a VRS with decent mileage
oh that, and I'd rather have the Ibiza over Fabia anyday, lighter + better equipped, cheaper too
sold a 50k 1.9 TDi 130 '03 reg for £3950 a year ago
+ Tax is £120?
-
Pretty much all of those don't apply to the TDi
hydruallic clutch (Y)
Does anyone have any suggestions of other cars?
Budget 3k
really want £30/yr tax
50+ mpg
Only other thing I found is Clio, but there gearboxes are awful, or the 1.6 I test drove once was, hopefully just an abused one
-
I'll probably end up buying one xD
They handle better than a Citroen C1 which is the only other alternative I have thought of
and I can mod it really cheaply
tinted front lights, manditory peado bear sticker
-
There's something about Lupo's that I love for town cars
I need you make me not buy one (Y)
What goes wrong?
I can remember the window motors, starter motors, rear washer disconnects, gearboxes on most are dog, clutch cable stretches on nonhydraullic models (TDI+GTI)
I am thinking of getting a TDi because of the running costs, I need something cheap for a while
so £30 road tax and 65+mpg make sense

revs hard? lupo sport is stupidly slow!
the only thing I can think of is your car has been modified without you knowing or your first car was a mobility scooter!
get it on a rolling road!
5th gear at 30mph I can only imagine it would barely move!
-
they are great fun to drive, handle nicely, very unique but tbh I had more trouble than it's worth with mine
gearbox will break whether you like it or not! You can never push the car to it's limits without the fear of it destroying the car
the engine is always very limp below 4krpm and it grows tiring never having that low down power to just nip about town
then you think you have a small engine economical car... think again, probably get about 30mpg?
GTi just solves all these problems and seems a far better buy
I can't blame you if you buy a sport, they are great fun but expect problems
oh lol...
door locks may break
windows will stop going down
pedal box will break
starter motor will fail
I know every car have their problems but the Lupo just seems to have so many
-
PEDAL BOX
GEARBOX
both WILL break and will cost lots
my advice? avoid sports! wait until you can afford to insure a GTi
-
yeah you gotta upload pictures somewhere else and add the
tags
sounds really nice! could probably change door speakers & tweeters yourself it's really easy!
-
the Mk4 golf fits the 1.8T so I'd guess it would have different mounts and therefore won't be a straight fit!
just guessing tho
-
well it has got different alloys on different sides!
-
VXR is virtually at peak power at 4k and holds it till the end
but then again so did my FR until the remap...
-
doesn't happen on your TDi as it has a different pedal box so don't worry
for everyone else about £200 but go cry to VW and see if they will repair it free as it's a well known common problem!
-
probably been ragged... wouldn't bother trying to pick up a bargain!
-
£3000 + your car... what could you buy?
-
Good luck with that...
chips on eBay = lolz
-
not much tuning ?
turbo cars are easy to tune!
consider the astra VXR & focus ST as well in this league
I've read reviews of the MPS being numb & unexciting to drive compared to rivals
-
probs fitted stubby mirror ?
-
dildo n stuff
-
map map map =] turns it into a bit more of a monster! 300lbs/ft on tap!
-
do insurance on ibiza FR!
just had mine remapped to 205bhp =]
+ climate control wewt
just worth a thought!
though I do know the feeling of soft spot for a lupo
Lupo TDi
in Wanted
