VW Up!

Obviously when CAR does a shoot-out the VW always wins, however this time I agree with them.
 
True. I do believe the general consensus is that when it comes to the Up! we have a winner.
 
Reporting in that the Fender sound is really good for the price. Listened to Opeth's Blackwater Park in its entirety today and it sounded fantastic. Decent soundstaging, really nice elastic bass and solid mids and highs.

A trend I have noticed as well. How more practicality (two more doors), a superior infotainment system and safety features (EBD) trumps a smoother ride has me stumped.

I'd like to see them redo the test when/if the 5-door version of the Up exclaimation mark lands on our shores

5-door won't make it to SA, it will steal too many customers from the super profitable Vivo.

If car does a shootout between a Zonda and a Vivo they will pick the Vivo because it is more practical, it has more cup holders, uses less fuel and has a VW badge.

I just confirmed for someone. Already on their way. There will be 2 models.

Lame.
 
I'm thinking of trading in my polo for this. Build quality seems a bit cheap but fits the price.

Reminds of that car show on TV with Alan Johston was it? Except he had a hard on for all things Toyota. That that first version RAV was the bog's balls cause it had cloth seats.

In terms of practicality, the Up! has a much bigger boot, so I'd say they're on par there. Same with safety - the Up! has ASR, which the Aygo doesn't (also it scored 5 stars in the Euro NCAP vs the Aygo's 4).

A debate on the rear section of this vehicle is not part of the topic? :)

There won't be a five door coming to South Africa, they're intentionally keeping it this way to maintain Vivo's spot in the sales chart. Problem with the Vivo is it's pretty much ancient, I think a lot of folks would rather have a five door Up.

It's miles ahead of the Jap. I drove the Up! briefly about a year ago as a temporary car and it actually felt pretty solid, it's a lot different to what I was used to driving, so the contrast was there, but even amidst that, I could tell that it was a solid little car, and it certainly looks better than the Aygo. Pity there is no auto variant in this country either.

The 5 door is coming to SA. I got inside info. ;)
