Get the lupo - cheaper, cheaper on insurance, and a 1.0 polo would be slower than lichen. Or buy the carbon copy seat arosa for even less.

Easy, get the Seat Arosa or Seat Ibiza. More value for money, same car, cheaper.

Lupo- cooler looking than the Polo (how shallow is that :biggrin:

). Though it only has 4 seats so obviously not as practical. Can't comment on the 1.0 as I have the 1.4, but like lodzinski said the 1.0 Polo would be BEYOND slow.

I am biased of course...but I LOVE my Lupo. I've had a lot of compliments on it as there aren't many around (and lots of people asking what it is :biggrin:

). I originally looked at 1.0s but there didn't seem to be a lot of difference in the price between the two engines on digging around a bit- I had to travel 60 miles to get mine. :driver:

Id say the Polos already small enough! Golf?

I have a 2000 plate 306, which is a very capable tool.

I have a Polo GTi, and my friend has a Lupo GTi. Both are great cars, but I prefer having a car with more interior space, however Lupos look amazing!

Lupos are a woman's car.

Do these look like girl's cars?

Looks like a car that hasn't had its modifications declared to the insurance company.

That bottom set of rims look like the steel ones off of my mam's Escort van.

Haha, you'll be very well surprised to find out those alloy wheels are the ones that are impossible to kurb. Radinox Schmidts in case you are wondering
