I really wonder how it behaves on long trips. Since this one has 6 gear manual... Although I'm curious about how loud it gets inside when driving with highway speed (130/140kph) and how comfortable are the seats as well as how good the fuel comsumption is. It seems to be a pretty good car for 1 or 2 people to the city, but what if they travel sometimes with a little luggage? let's say a distance of 600kms... How this little car behaves on highways and if it's possible to not die because of loudness and lack of comfort inside.

Im ordering an up GTI next month and would like to know if you're sure that it has an oil temperature display. The UP TSI doenst have it (maybe depends on location? at least here in germany its nowhere to be found) and i think its a nice feature for being able to tell if your engine is warm enough for some more revs. ;)

You can put your silly big phone in either the door pocket or glove locker. iPhone 6/7 etc fits perfectly on shelf in centre console above gear stick - or in that MMI bracket. Google maps is perfect from there.. Door size and length, plus rear access - the 5 door shell woks so much better from my experience. Otherwise good review. Remember not every Up! driver is 6ft 2
@CarManiac_Chris7 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your comment. Well - it´s not a silly big phone tho... I have sat in many cars where this isn´t a problem. The Up has a really lush interior and that´s nice. But storage space isn´t really given. I don´t pu my phone in the door pocket because I hate nothing more than things doing sounds while I´m driving as it´s flying around in the door pocket. And I even dont want a scratched telefone. To me it belongs in front of the gear shifter. And there it doesn´t fit. As the telephones are getting bigger so should the manufacturers adapt the interior. And I know that the Up drivers aren´t 6.2 - anyway I was surprised how well I fit behind my self!

Das einzige ist halt dass ich wirklich so ein wahnsinniger LED Freak bin und wenn ein Auto sowas nicht hat nehme ich das halt als Kritikpunkt. Aber ansonsten hat der Wagen wirklich Spaß gemacht und fühlt sich auch vom Fahren her wie der Golf 1 GTI damals an, der mein erstes Auto war.

This car has too little power and acceleration. 115 BHP and 0-62mph or 0-100kmh in 9.6 seconds is not good enough. Ideally this car should have 130bhp and 0-62mph or 0-100kmh in 7 seconds or so.
@mikecustoms6 жыл бұрын
vhira it weights more than 1000 kg, so 130 hp would make it do the 0 - 100 km/h in about 8.5 seconds. This would be good enough for a TSI model, for a GTI, not quite
@vhira6 жыл бұрын
mikecustoms actually I think I might have underestimated this car. This car weighs about 997kg, and if you compare it to a 2010 Renault Sport Twingo which has 133 bhp, the Twingo weighs just slightly over then a ton. Also the Up GTI’s 0-62mph or 0-100kmh is 0.3 seconds slower than the Twingo Sports 0-62mph or 0-100kmh time of 8.5 seconds which isn’t that far off, plus the Up GTI has more torque than the Twingo Sport because the Twingo Sport has 118lbs ft of torque, and the Up GTI has 147lbs ft. So that shows that the Up GTI’s performance is quite promising. My only criticisms of this car is that the chassis needs to be a lot more stiffer, to reduce the roles into the corners, fit integrated mmi systems rather then using your phone and also to use LED lights rather then the old fashioned Halogen lights.
