Compared to a corsa i think it feels a bit faster and has definately got more tourque. But it wont be as quick as your mums yaris. Its easy to live with the power and copes well on long motorway drives.Great car i would recommend the 1.0, and ive seen ones which have 160K on the clock and there still going so that just proves how strong the engines are.Spec wise if your looking at a lupo the 1.0E offers very little: Power steering and thats about it really, the next grade up is the S which has central locking, electric front windows.basically the same for the Arosa only the S on the arosa adds alloys, remote central locking and a cd player.

Jen Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 i used to have a real poverty spec 1.0L and i loved him to pieces! didnt find him that slow really. go up and down motorways comfortably. even no power steering wasnt that bad! not great on the old fuel, about 250miles to a tank town driving, but still a car full of character!lets us know if you find one!Jen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo_1.0 Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 nope i have the 1.0l too, and dont think they are too bad they seem to be faster than old 1.0/1.1/1.2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luppie70 Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 (edited) I have 1l and to be honest it copes just as well on the motorway as it does running around town. When I first had I went to Birmingham and was a good 3/4hr into driving before I realised I was doing over 100, no engine noise until I started to slow to around 70-80 but I think that was the engine cooling after the exertion but then after a couple of mins no engine noise. If you want low cost through-out (insurance etc) go for 1l as they do roar better than other 1ls I've driven Edited July 10, 2006 by Luppie70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swoxy Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 It's fine around town but if you're going to be doing regular motorway driving you'll want something faster. I get 240 London miles to a tank which works out roughly 35 - 40MPG which I don't think is bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardaft Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 what do u need to take a test drive off a dealear by the way? like insurance? or is it all taken care ov?All you would need to do is to find a 1.0 in a dealer and go and ask for a test drive. Im not sure about the insurance but ive had test drives before and i didnt have to arrange anything so i assume their insurance covers you.

Max69vk Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 That was a 0-60 not a 1/4 mile! Fair play though, I wouldn't have done it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
