I remember Honest John covering the basic model a few months ago. The engine in my judgment is a bit under powered.

I think he is testing the 64bhp variant, the irish model in the High Up! is 75bhp, in a bean can that 11 extra horses makes a huge difference

Cool car though, all the snobs will buy them for their kids so they have the Vw brand and it looks like they spent a fortune on a new car for them.

LOL theyd want something with a better badge than VW if they are going for snob factor!

At this end of the market? What's snobbier than VW in a 1 litre city car? A Toyota IQ, I suppose, unless you go the full Aston Martin Cygnet.

I'd rather have a Panda Twinair, but they are inexplicably expensive at €15K.

The Fiat offerings (panda/500) are a bit pricey alright.

The wife had a look at a hyundai i10 and it was quike expensive too (12-14k I think).

I'd like to see a small turbo-charged version.... a GT-up!

Calling that car a "GT" is just plain wrong! It defo looks a bit like the pug. Fugly!
