Persuade me to NOT buy a lupo

Recommended Posts

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

They're small and old ladyish (at best girlie) and you will find your Lupo trying to take you to the bingo and knitting club; though to be fair it'smore exciting 'there' than it is here. (Allegedly)

You have nowhere to store your gloves.

:coffee:

You will become infuriated after years of idiots calling it a 'Polo', eventually you will descend into madness. Also, as Silver said, you will also be called, a 'gay' for owning one. That's the only two things I know of that are bad..

Mine is Fantasia green not been called gay yet (I think they are cool in cornwall lol not much of a selling point)

Bad points - The seats don't hug you when flying into some nice bends lumbar support seems to be for a fat woman. unless you get coilovers and such the car is really "bobbly" has a really high center of gravity. MY ELECTRIC WINDOWS ARE BROKE :( Road noise is horendous!! the car is teeny tiny. Standard audio leaves a lot to be desired.

So when are you getting your new car :D

for what lupo are i think they're great!...although i fancy a change now.

I've had nearly 2 years of absolute trouble free driving (touch wood!), bought the car on about 76k now on 96k - and thats with a sport! if i had of left it standard and sold it today i would loose hardly anything!

There are cheaper alternatives though if you just want something to go around town in, for example we bought a 1.0l 1997 polo with loads of history on 55k or something for 500 quid.

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

that's what I thought............

You will start to question your own sexuality.

ECU is the equivelent of a sponge.

Pedalboxes made of chocolate.

Gearboxes can be tempremental.

Get used to looking at an engine light and cleaning throttle bodys.

will have to your back seats out to get a weekly shop in the back.

Gay guys calling your car cute.

Dislocating your fingers changing a head light bulb.

Non self canceling indicators.

looking camp as **** in traffic.

On a serious note, there awsome little cars :).

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
