Welcome to Episode 3 of the HotHatches.co.uk series - We join Chris for his review of the Volkswagen Up GTI .
A "back to basics" approach to hot hatches, this pays homage to the Mark 1 VW Golf GTI.
the 1 litre / 12 valve / 3 cylinder unit produces 115ps and 147 lb/ft torque is good for 0-62mph in 8.8 seconds.
More than the sum of its parts? Chris certainly thinks so!

Although not classed as a limited edition the UP GTI was only available for one year and production numbers were always low making any UP GTI a rare find. In today’s market rare cars do better with residual values meaning trouble and depreciation proof motoring, something you don’t say every day. What’s it like? In a single word - FUN!
If you look at figures it doesn’t really have much to write home about (in today’s world), but don’t judge a book by its cover! Behind these figures stands a very exciting and engaging Hot Hatch which is guaranteed to make you smile even if just popping around the corner. The torquey engine, quality interior, super-fast gear change, perfect looks and fun-loving driving experience mean that it feels like a true performance car bargain.
