lupo1.0se Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) I have, here are some pics.... (i couldn't get one of the front though)DashBoot - suprisingly big!So what do i think.Bits i likeSeats are mega comfyInterior is a roomy as the lupoBoot is massiveEnough space for a spare wheel (or subwoofer)Easy to use dash layout.Some little reminders of the lupo.Boot felt strong and weighted (not what i initally thought as it looked like a glass boot)Things i am not sure aboutThe gear knob seems an old style (maybee model variation....)was not able to see new alloys (as it had trims)But otherwise it is marked improvement on the old fox Edited February 18, 2012 by lupo1.0se Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupo1.0se Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 The central heater controls are lupo based.So are the seat belt holders, sunvisors but as i said 'little' reminders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaily Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Those hubs are hideous! I also don't like the tiny rev counter, apart from that, not a bad looking car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koop Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Don't like them, rear end just looks wrong Would have a GT though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) i like this, i think from the pictures the Dash looks a bit plasticy and maybe a little cheap? but i reckon this is the base spec and Quality will go UP as production goes along and small things may be changed (Just like the lupos)From the side this looks like a Suzuki alto or Nissan pixo Edited February 20, 2012 by James827 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStryder360 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 The more I look at the dash the more shocking it looks. Hope it isn't 'that' bad IRL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Dials remind me a bit of the old single pod mk1 Golf ones.Although I am disappointed with how cheap the interior looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 but isn't this like £1000 cheaper than the lupo was? 12 years ago too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rapidebrothers Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) I think I'm going to have to pop along to VW sometime & check this new little car out!The lights look pretty different on the back, not sure about them at the moment but might get better after you've seen a few!Also have to agree that the dash looks Proper cheap!! Wonder if they will bring a Diesel & a GTI out? Edited February 25, 2012 by rapidebrothers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzm Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 i was quite interested till i saw the glass tailgate, its ugly just like my fox, why couldnt they just relaunch the loop and have done, then us fox owners wouldnt have to slope down behind the wheel and hide in embarressment when we spot a loop owner, haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_273 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Ive seen one, thought it was pretty good compared with other new small cars, although the one i looked at was the top spec 'black' edition.The thing is though, when the lupo came out it was literally just like a mkiv golf but smaller. The up is no longer just a small golf, it's designed from the ground up to be a small city car an in some ways i think this makes it feel like more of a toy, whereas to me the lupo always felt like a proper car just smaller.
