VW UP GT

[maggi200]

3 pots can, and generally do, sound very nice. Theyre very charismatic engines and often sound quite fruity and raspy. Having driven a fair few 3 pots i could agree it could sound like half a flat 6

The price is gonna be too much but the vag fanboys will buy it anyway

People used to say my old C1 sounded like a mini 911 trust me through those higher revs they do sound good!

 

[maggi200]

Do you miss the old three cylinder shake as you shut it off?

 

[holliedynamique]

A little lol it used to suprise a few people a bit plus I think how quickly the back boxes rust on them didn't help lol

 

[maggi200]

Haha 3 cylinder engines rattle as they shut off as a nice characteristic which I loved

Every 107/aygo/c1 has had a blown exhaust since a few months old that I've ever seen. Doesn't sound all that great but before then it's quite raspy.

Mine surprisingly never went even after 2 years lol must have been lucky

reminds me a little of a new age Charade gtti.

I was looking at them although then I saw the release date isn't until next year so not into the car that much that I would wait a year for it.

Just seen the few new concepts for the up they're looking to bring out. I quite like the Winter-up

not sure about the 5 door, but the 3 door is really growing on me.

Know I'm reviving an old thread here, but there's an alternatives possibly appearing to the UP GT. Apparently, seat are considering doing an FR of their Mii version, and perhaps a Skoda Citigo rallycar in the pipeline.

Mii FR

Citigo Rally

Does look better

I have seen a Up! in the flesh, there is one knocking about blackpool... Now dont like it, looks like a microwave at the back

 

[maggi200]

Seen a couple of them. The front looks like its gonna overheat, no air can get in! It's a horrible looking car IMO.

And the fr version of the seat is a body kit only. No suspension or engine changes at all!

 

[JamesGT]

Not too keen on the Up!

Seen one or two about and they just do nothing for me.

That skoda however...............

Saw a white one in St Annes today. Bit of a biscuit tin, really :!:

Maybe the same one, don't think the white does it any favours

 

[Mike_Robo]

literally just seen one drive past the office window as i found this thread...i agree though looks like a microwave

Having mentioned the skoda Citigo Rally, here's the actual pics

 

[maggi200]

Looks like it might be good for Tarmac rally, but it's still an ugly bint!
