people who know about cars are always interested in it

gf loved it so much I gave it to her when changed cars

Would/do recommend them to everyone

Didn't buy from a dealer

No

What price did you pay?

£7,000

When did you buy the car?

November 2005

Did you get a good deal and why?

Paid £7k for it which I thought was pretty expensive for a small car, they only sent 1k of them to UK so limited supply - however looking at retail value looks like depreciation is negligable

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted go-kart fun but a well built car

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

electric, great fun hurling it around, my other cars a z4 3.0 - but I still look forward to a spin in the lupo (gave it to the gf)

What's it like to park?

couldnt be easier!

Have you had any problems with the car?

Had this car a couple of years and nothing interesting gone wrong with it - its very cheap to run, very reliable - I thoroughly trust it

What's most practical about your car?

least practical are they tyres which are really random size and hard to replace. Its most aluminium car so light, wont rust, and good mpg

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

getting xeons and 6spd box on a car this size as standard is pretty cool
