Brilliant, some small faults but all cars have them.

I can be seen more as a girls car but in the right colour is a wee beast.

Security and Service
Security
I've never had anyone try to break in, but I'm sure it would be able to handle it.
Service
Only thing I went to VW for was a front speaker coz I had blown 1 but they said they couldn't source one?

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Battery terminal was loose and it keep cutting out, but it just needed tightened up.
Other
Ignition switch decide not to work and also a common fault with all lupos, the windscreen wipers that don't clear when you're doing over 60mph. The best way to resolve this however is to invest in a single wiper conversion witch will solve the problem.
Ownership
Did you buy the car new?
Used
Would you buy the same model again?
No
Did you buy from the same manufacturer again?
Yes
