Hi All,
For context, I'm 31 and I've never owned a car - but I do love driving, go figure. My wife and I currently live in a city centre, hence never needing a car (or rather seeing the point of owning one). But we are looking to move out to the countryside soon and would like a small, cheap, but reliable car that gets good miles per gallon and has low running costs. We will occasionally use it for longer trips (i.e. going out on motorways), but it'll mostly be used for the weekly shop, exploring the surrounding area, etc. All my research so far has pointed me to the VW Up!, plus I seem to have an affiliation for VWs in general.
So, does anyone have any experience with the VW Up!? Other than the ridiculous fact it has a form of punctuation in its name, what are the things I should be aware of with this car? Are there any alternatives I should be considering?
Cheers!
