    Hi guys.
    I've recently changed my car from a VW Passat 2.0 Highline+ to a VW UP! 74bhp High UP.

    I was surprised how much room there is inside these tiny cars, after looking at it from the outside.
    Getting around 45-50 mpg, which is great. Handling is fun, especially round town or country roads.
    Speed isn't anything to write home about, but is sufficient when in higher revs, on A roads or the
    Motorway.
    I've only had it a few weeks now, but I like it so far.

    Good Man, they’re a great car.
    My wife’s on her third Up!
    An original 60PS Move Up , then a 74PS High Up just like yours and now she drives a 115PS GTi. She looked at a Polo and other makes but there was nothing that she liked as much as the Up! They drive like a much bigger car and don’t feel lacking in anyway on the road. If you get a chance of a test drive of a GTi - give one a try. Although that might cause you some car change dilemma!!

    I'd love an UP! GTI.
    But the insurance group is just too high. The main reason I changed from my Passat to an UP! was the insurance premiums. My Passat was insurance group 28
    I think, and my UP! is group 3, so my insurance premium was halved almost. I live in a post-code area that's shocking for insurance quotes, and not looking to
    get any better in the near future, so I had to make a car change just to keep up with the insurance.
    It's a good car, as you say, although I'm still getting used to it.
