Joti Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I'm contemplating selling the Lupo and getting an Audi S3, of a similar age and mileage.However the Lupo gets a lot of positive attention and has a rarity value, so I'm in two minds!Anyone sold up and regretted it?

Dblock Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I would miss anything if I bought an audi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 There's nothing wrong with the Audi; it does most things better than a Lupo/Arosa to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) There's nothing wrong with the Audi; it does most things better than a Lupo/Arosa to be fair.No doubt. Just very very bland IMO. Even coming from any car the lupo is just fun. I genuinely don't know why but I really really like driving it. Even over higher powered more luxury German cars. It's just silly. My mate promised me I could drive his r8 though which is awesome. Wouldn't mind a tt-rs. Im broke though. But the a and s models bore me.

jon_273 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I still love driving the Lupo TDI - it's a great little engine when mapped! But sometimes you just want to get somewhere comfortably and quietly, and thats when the barge comes into it's own. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 I just know that if I sold my gti, it would bother me for the rest of my life. I don't know what it is about her, I just can't bear the thought of not being able to drive her ever again. I did come close to trading her in for a Mk6 Golf GT a while back, but with hindsight, best decision I ever made not to swap her in. I know I'd also never get anything else that compares or would replace her, she's part of the family! Even though I now have an Up! as my daily, I look forward to taking her out for a thrash at the weekends! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m8ngn Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Dont do it. I have sold 2 Gti's, should of learnt from the mistake of selling the first on but no. sold my previous one for a TT which is getting sold on thursday and bought myself a lupo tdi for hauling the mountain bike around. would have another Gti in a heartbeat and one day will get another.

Silver! Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 No, 'cause I haven't sold it!7 years this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Had my GTI for 6 years. Sold it for a mk2 TT over two years ago.I like the TT, and it's nice to drive. But it's not fun. I don't love it like I did the Lupo.But saying that, I don't often 'miss' it. Only when I see an old photo of it or when convoying to shows with other Lupo GTIs.My brother has it now, so I see it often, but it doesn't hold the same appeal to me now it's back to standard.

Dblock Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Not being funny but you guys are some vag fanboys. You guys all have the same experience lol. I had a gti then I bought a boring car. Boring car is boring though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I remember when we done a Scottish road trip. Philplop turned up in his A6 barge. Pulled up in Tesco for breakfast and his first words were: "wish I'd bought brought the Lupo GTI now." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 It was his Dad's, slammed on collies.I still don't see the point. It's still a barge and now you have removed the comfort by slamming it? I don't really understand vag modding lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
