I passed my driving test yesterday and went car (window) shopping today! I’ve decided to get myself one of these, it’s a lovely car! I appreciate proper handbrakes too, that was a requirement!
Most enjoyable and complete video. I write from France, ownn ig a 2014 metallic black 3 door Blue Motion Cool Up, same alloys,tinted rear windows air con etc, bought in 2018 from VW with 65000 km now 75000 . Retired_ local runs, have owned other makes of German powerful engines, this car has typical solid quality build and German friends find it a more than acceptable downsize if you have run larger German cars. Most economical and over here some are asking more than I paid in 2008 , first car in a lifetime that has appreciated through state of market.Have seen several European reviews but your one is far ahead delivered in a comfortable but detailed manner.
Love the video Barrie. Flipped a few of these and came across a black 5 door move up. Will hopefully be Retrofitting heated seats and electric mirrors in it. Already fitted 17 inch polygon alloys on it which adds a sporty look to the car. Hate to see the bad drivers you came across. The driving standard has gone down sadly and best to have a dashcam in place
it was a trying day yesterday to say the least, he Go pros are very wide angle and make objects appear a lot further away than they actually are, but a few close calls yesterday thats for sure
My little 2012 VW up! had had its last service at 95.580 km (late 2019), when would you do the next service? I regularly check the fluid levels and top up, the car is currently at 103.750 km.
yes. I think a lot of wipers get abused in the winter months, firstly by trying to wipe frozen windscreens and then the chemicals in de-icer finish them off
Then its a good job its my car and i can do what i want with it, by the way i sit/lean against the headlight not on the bonnet so no cars are harmed during the making of my videos

You have chosen well, congratulations on passing
Barrie Crampton thank you! I can’t wait to get it now!
Fantastic little car! Great contender for first cars or even just a second car, i'm tempted myself!
yes, really nice example, great car
You know you're living the rich life when you can have Aircon and heated seats both on at the same time

It’s all good but why the music at the start
trying to be different and better than other car dealers, although i have stopped using the music now

Adjusting that headrest like an MMA fighter
DID YOU GET BACK TO THE GARAGE OK AFTER THEM PRATTS ON THE ROAD
it was a trying day yesterday to say the least, he Go pros are very wide angle and make objects appear a lot further away than they actually are, but a few close calls yesterday thats for sure
I THOUGHT ALL THE PRATTS LIVED NEAR ME LOL @@BarrieCrampton
Too many idiots on the road and this video shows it. I've got a dashcam and try and report most of them with action being taken on most cases
It’s drum brakes on the rear of these. Pulsating/judder usually means that it’s time for a rear strip and clean brake service.
Dan L yep, its mainly coming through the steering wheel so probably more the discs, could be drums too, we will check thanks

I bought a low mileage vw up and the wipers were terrible too but they were very cheap to replace

Great video. Ive got the GTI model in Tornado Red and a 5 door model. Nearly had it a year with just 2,700 miles on the clock! Love it though.
wow that sounds like a great car
@@BarrieCrampton it is! Worth a drive if you get a chance!
The best thing about the review are your reactions to the other drivers.... had to laugh a lot.
👍 thanks for watching , glad you liked it !
@@BarrieCrampton Your reviews helped me a lot in my decision... I am currently looking at a VW take up!, passed my driving test this week.
@@Sir-Prizse great little car
i fitted new glow plugs today one was very tight but all done now for 7 years
wow, it must be virtually a new car now :-)
yeah it should be ok now for years hopefully
I have a Range Rover but my brother uses it more then me because I bought a Volkswagen up 2019
I was laughing really hard whenever he had a road rage from the taxi's driving 🤣🤣
Taxi Drivers in Preston are awful
@@BarrieCrampton trust me, when you get to Bradford, it's much worse lol
What is the difference between the regular up and high up please anyone?

IDEAL FOR YOU BARRIE TO GO TO ITALY SMALL CAR LIKE THIS
has to be an old Fiat 500 :-) there are hundreds in Sorrento
YOUR HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR ONE ON YOUR SITE @@BarrieCrampton
Great little car good to see a colourful interior instead of black.
Toyota iQ or wv up which is more better
i think i would prefer a Toyota IQ
looks like a well made car and cheap to run, just the interior looks boring lol
great cars
i wouldn't want you sitting on my car
Then its a good job its my car and i can do what i want with it, by the way i sit/lean against the headlight not on the bonnet so no cars are harmed during the making of my videos
