Lupo GTi?
Turbo Mini Forums

all the time driving ... to work and back every day plus the odd bit of nailing it about when im bored

does 42 mpg on a run or 28 mpg when im towing my 1300kg caravan

shame they drive like shit and are slow as hell, really. LOL!

Fair point i've been to sheffield in the last month and understand where you are coming from. The traffic is really bad !!

Hi Ric,

Been away for a while so just been catching up on the TM gossip!

as u probably remember from riv run i own a lupo GTi aswell as the turbo. it is a pretty cool car! ive had it for about 2 years and not really bored of it yet.

it does feel quick (0-60 time is abit deceaving coz it wont do 60 in 2nd coz of the 6 spped box makes gears really short). it certainly feels quicker than the figures look.

it also gets quite abit of attention round town. ive had quite a few people come up to me and ask what the hell it was and i usually get a "wow, never seen one of those before!" (only 1000 or so in country!)

wouldnt really say it has any bad points, petrol consumption is pretty good! helps that it only weighs just under a ton (all doors, bonnet front wings etc aluminium) the boot is stupidly small but that doesnt really bother me!

106 gti is quicker though know that for a fact

My mates had a lupo since new, he's had a good share of problems with it mind...

Although he has played with it a fair bit but stuff has always been covered under warranty.

that is the only problem, if it does go wrong u have to take it back to a VW dealer, and in my experiences they arnt the most helpful bunch of people ive ever met!

I know there a bit 'badboyboost' (understatement i know) but, I got a saxo VTR probably the only standard one left in the country.

Never had any problems with it, if anything does go wrong then parts are cheap, 'cause theres so many of them about.

And if you take the parcel shelf out you can get a mini engine and 'box in the boot no problem.

Its the most economical car ive owned soo far, and its fairly quick for a small engine.

Put it like this, after driving a miniturbo theres not many cars at a reasonable price that are going to be any where near as fun to drive.

It's great hearing Yanks harp on about how outrageous it is paying somet like 30pence / litre of petrol...
