Woodymc Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) Hello there , im new to this site Basically about 8 days ago i crashed my little corsa B into a hotel wall in windermere ( if anyone is from there it was me that drove into the wall in bowness nere the Old England Hotel). Im basically wanting to buy either of the two cars, but have no clue of the difference between. Id probly be choosing the 1.4 model or even the 1.0, ive noticed that in general the Arosa seems to be cheaper?. Any help on choosing between them?Thanks Ollie Edited May 16, 2009 by Woodymc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 You get more for your money with the Arosa.The Lupo looks better modified in my opinion...I think you're best off with the 1.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodymc Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Thanks for the heads up , i presume same engines ect in both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Yeah, except the Mk1 Arosa gets the 1.4 8v engine which no other versions getThe 1.4 TDi powered cars are worth looking at. Good power with a re-map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_ Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Arosa's were mainly built in spain, Lupo's in Germany / Belgium.Make of that what you will... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Some later Lupos were also built in Spain.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamD Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 After being in both (Lupo & Arosa), I'd say the quality was exactly the same, so who cares where it was made!I prefer the Lupo personally, just looks better modified in my opinion. Jazz blue and yellow being the best colours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I wouldn't have the 'Rosa due to the crap dash.Give me a blue cockpit any day of the week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Compared to the Lupo they are ****.Compared to a mk4 Golf or Bora they rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Compared to the Lupo they are ****.Compared to a mk4 Golf or Bora they rock.Slag the Arosa again and I'll suspend your bum!I like the red display in the Arosa MkII.Basically just differences in the cosmetics. There are more VW badges on my Arosa than SEAT badges.I think, as Liam said, that the Lupo looks better simly modified, but if you smooth the bumpers on the Arosa, your on a catch up.Same car for less money.

Woodymc Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 hmm this is giving me alot to think about , im 19 with 0 years no claims , think the 1.0 would be a cheaper/easier option than the 1.4's? also any idea on price range for both car's and both size's of engine? thanks ollie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 if you smooth the bumpers on the Arosa, your on a catch up.Completely agree with the above, all a Mk2 needs is Coilovers, some nice Brembo brakes, Motor Spoke 16s and IMO its a better looking car than (can I even say it?) a lowered none GTI Lupo?I wish someone would build a red and white Arosa Racer.Lupo GTI engine on throttle bodies, new Polo GTI interior and you'd be onto a winner.

Woodymc Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Yeah been reading different things on this site , the 1.4 sounds good . . . basically i want a lupo/arosa to put my 3k's worth of install in it as a side topic any1 know how these do with a ton of audio inside? can they take it?

little rich Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 ^Now your talking!I just sold my 145.8db lupo of boom,They cope well with vibrations and can pull the weight, your mpg will obv go down, and speed!Id look into a 1.7 sdi Great mpg, and would stand alot more chance pulling the weight (and the insurace is cheap as they arent quick!)What install are you planning then? what audio do you have etc?Here is my old one,http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=45972Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunderland Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 If you have the money too, then get a loop. Nicer interior and just look better IMO. And i have an arosa. Ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
