My VW up! #UberUp Experience

[FiestaST]

Just got back from my UberUp "Test Ride" courtesy of the Uber/VW up promo that started today till the 8th.

"Custard yellow" up!; getting looks all over the place.

For a car with R133k + price it's got excellent build quality; proper "big car" ride quality; great space utilization for a small car.

Decent boot for the car size; with a false floor.

My vehicle was the "Move up!" top model & had options like parking sensors; seat heaters as well as a lovely panoramic roof.

Really (genuinely) impressed; VWSA is onto a winner here!

Saw quite a few of them when I was in Germany. Glad to see they are coming here too.

Pretty neat marketing stunt between Uber and VW.

"test drive it for free"? Do people pay to test drive cars these days?

Uber is a paid cab service... The Up is free for the week

It is a golf. Its VW's replacement for the venerable Citi

Interior looks hard, cheap and ugly. Outside it's nice

No bluetooth or USB?

It really looks very entry-level, and it starts at R133k? So it's basically a Citi, for R133k+? Damn.

Ah, no. Its much better specced than the Citi and much better build quality. For 113k its a good deal.

Still butt ugly.

Still butt ugly.

If you're buying a car at this price point (New, anyway) how it looks is not that high up on your list.

I checked every min Saturday and Sunday ,was never available

Disagree; styling is very much personal preference. For the price & vs its rivals the up! is a proper car; big car feel; great build & ride & has that badge.
