I depends on what you want out of it, if you need a bit of size ( by rhe sounds of it you don't ) then it would be the Polo but I still think the Lupo is better, Has more personality!Good luck choosing though!

Tigz™ Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I'll be taking a mint 51k mile Polo GTI in Reflex Silver to edition 38 next month.Fully rebuilt gearbox, new cam belt, brand new refurbished BBS rims, climate control, gas disharge headlamps and CD Changer.The Polo is a much better car, much more refined and better interior than the Lupo.The Lupo is more fun to drive, although IMO the Polo drives better as an everyday car.Both cars look ace.

bossjohnc Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 As above, the Lupo is a load more fun - I wouldn't say that the Polo was a better car, although it has a higher trim level and is a bit more comfortable over long distances, and carries more shopping. If that's what you're after, then there's your car.If you're after something fairly unique, quirky and nippy, then the Lupo is your car.

Tigz™ Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Reason I say better 'car' is:Glove box.Full door panels.Cable clutch.Cheaper parts when it goes wrong.Cheaper parts if you want to 'play' with it.Bigger boot.Boot mounted CD Changer, so you keep your storage tray under the cassette player.Feel safe leaving it in a car park.Spare wheel.Cheap easy to replace exhaust system.But.Im selling my Polo.Id never sell my Lupo.
