whats your favourite part of the lupo?

[Unheard]

Inside space gets me every time. Whenever some one else gets into the car for the first time they say "It's big in here"...

so true iv had that from almost everyone thats been in my car, was the first thing my mum said about the car

The thought that went into it, they made xenons standard (which is remarkable these days as they're nearly always an optional extra), the fact that when you switch the lights off the dash lights fade instead of just switching off, the fact they put the battery in the boot, the center exit exhaust and the fact that you never see another one on the road.

Although lot's more love since i've had the coilovers style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wub:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" />

Many parts....

Xenons, dials, rear end, exclusivity, colour and as previously said the closest modern thing to a Golf mk1 GTI style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wub:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" />

The dash with red and blue dials, the 3L front! Ah, and of course, the MPG style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

I love it when people try to beat you away from traffic lights. You can hear them reving the engine and when the lights turn to green your away and you can hear them way behind you thrashing their car throught the gears and your still only in 2nd gear!

i love the colour of mine.

[MattyA]

I like the petrol cover, and the fact that the lines run into the rear lights, also the little piece out of the drivers rear light to get your finger in to open the fuel cover.

Gotta love the whole interior, and the Blue/Red combo.

I like the fact that the boot is small. Bigger boots just tempt you to put all sorts of crap in get full of rubbish. This is the cleanest boot I've ever had.

I think they look small, solid and well proportioned. I don't like my aftermarket sunroof as it leaks. Need to get it in to get it fixed this summer.

The rear end gets my vote, i like a lot of things on the car, but the design of the rear is stunning style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wub:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" />

I liked the Lupo because it wasn't another Fiesta, although it's not cheap to maintain.

[Picola]

Also they ae just damn right fun. A bit like a hyper kitten, zipping about the place looking cute and mischeivious at the same time.

[Gavs_arosa16v]

They have character, unlike most boring tin cans on the road.

I don't like my aftermarket sunroof as it leaks.

Aftermarket sunroof? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

Aftermarket sunroof? border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />

I'll need see the body shop lecturers at work to see if they can lift it out, clean the roof and surround, and reseal it.

Maybe aftermarket was the wrong chioce of word.

Ah, just never heard of a retro-fitted sunroof before.

Ah, just never heard of a retro-fitted sunroof before.

On searching for that pic, I found out that the one in the pic would have been about £300+!

I could think of better things to spend £300 on. Especially with the amount of sun we get in Scotland.

I just love the cult following that goes with it even people that know nothing about cars understand the greatness of the lupo gti and i love the way 106 gti drivers always say oh i wanted one of them but they were just too expensive oooo and no matter how much my girlfriend tries to cutify it (my own made up word for when women make things sound cute eg. i raced a starlet glanza last week and the missus was like awwwwwwwww it squeaks when he changes gear) I just press the little 125pedal and feel the note of the bmc at 5000rpm to remind me it's a rugged manly beast
