For TBT, here's our VW Up GTI buying guide - because who doesn't want to own the little pocket rocket?
Note for reference: car weight and power data are hard to pin down with absolute certainty. For consistency, we use the same source for all our guides. We hope the data we use is right more often than it's wrong. Our advice is to treat it as relative rather than definitive.
Back to the drivetrain now, and specifically to reliability. This appears to be truly excellent. One UK buyer of a new 2019 Up GTI reported engine failure in the first 24 hours/50 miles of ownership, followed four months and under 3,000 miles later by gearbox failure in the replacement car, but if borne out this would be an exceptional case as we couldn't find any other similar cases. In fact we were really scratching around to find any problems, let alone common ones.
The Up GTI was similar to the Mini in there being no driving modes other than the one the car came with. You couldn't disable the traction control by pressing the button as there was no button. You could knock it out if you disconnected the right wire in the fuse panel but then you'd lose the ABS too, so we wouldn't recommend that.
The choice of colours wasn't that exciting. It pulled off the classic VW GTI trick of looking good in white but you had to pay extra for that, red being the only 'free' colour. A panoramic sunroof was a nifty option for the car and not too expensive either at just over £700. For fans of slightly leaden Germanic humour, you could have a roof sticker saying THIS SIDE UP!.
The classic 'Clark tartan' Jacara seat material was a GTI tap-in birdie that you could easily imagine featuring on performance VWs until the company closes its doors for the last time. If you thought the tartan was cheesy or you didn't like cloth in general, you were a bit stuck because there was no leather-based alternative for UK buyers.
