I sold my Polo GTI and got an Up GTI, for the main reason you said really. The Up GTI has a lot more personality. Obviously, there is a compromise on performance, but it is one of those cars that you do actually want to take out on a drive. I'd recommend taking one for a spin if you haven't already!
Great video Neil, Own one myself and totally agree with everything you have said. Lovely daily driver. I missed out on getting it with the nav system though. Congrats on the new mini, looking forward to hear your thoughts on it.
Hi Neil! New owner of the Polo here 👋 so glad to find it’s had a lovey former life with yourself. Immaculately kept 👍 best wishes with the replacement 😊
Had mine from 8k and i wish i could say the same media screen goes black , exhaust rattles ,suspension creaks, seat back reclines itself dash rattles and wheels difficult to balance i want to love it but theres too many faults
That’s bad, feel your pain 😳 Ours was perfect and cheap to run, really impressed me. It’s been replaced by a mini now and although the mini is a car you just drive for the sake of it the Polo was definitely a better daily driver.
Don't rule out the Polo. Affordable, reliable & cheap to run. Perfect daily driver.

The Ups do look cool IMO, even the bobby basic versions. Definitely got to try a GTI sometime soon. Glad you’re enjoying it 👍
sure does if you are Postman Pat
