Volkswagen Up long-term test - second report - What Car? 2013 

I have had one for over 8 years and never had any problems with it . It always starts , even when left for days in the rain or snow . It's cheep to run and the insurance and service is pocket money . Well done Volkswagen !!!!!!!!!!

Great city car shame about the shitty customer service. VAG really don't give a fuck about the quality (or lack thereof) of the customer service their authorised dealers provide to their customers.

okay , i buy that car on last year september and my car have repair it for 2 time changing gear box and one time power steering. Also i have a suzuki swift buy it at 3 year ago and without any problem. What did you think ??

Remember to road test the car only if it has been standing for a few days because there can be a problem with the clutch when selecting reverse then first gear. The UP will 'crunch' into reverse and resist going into first...not what you want on a Monday morning.

fine car to drive. but a point to attention is the gearbox, they do show problems.

For the last 4 years, Volkswagen group cars have been and still are statistically the least reliable vehicle on UK roads. It is common to see Toyotas reaching 3 - 4 hundred-thousand miles. VAG cars usually need a lot of money spent on them after 120K.

A shit 1st gear. Unable to connect from cold start. Move off in 2nd gear then after a few yards 1st gear will engage.

Main problems: you cannot turn up-down the right window . the air conditioning system is poor if you live in hot places.

"IF you leave your mirrors out, people might hit them!" No fucking shit Sherlock...

i can't believe he didn't mention....that you can't control the passenger window from the driver side you have to reach across which is a pain

Nice little car, I'm a big fan of the Up! Just can't make my mind up on which colour I like more

A Dacia Sandero is better and bigger too

TO ME IT DOES I LOVE BEING 1ST

2.10 poo stains

He didn't mention the very common intermittent 1st gear problem did he ? It can sometimes be almost impossible to select 1st gear from cold. And this problem can still kick in any time when the engine is warm. Very annoying at traffic lights as you struggle to select 1st gear to move off with guys sounding their horns behind you 😈

Japanese cars are fantastic. Toyota are the best, probably followed by Honda. Nissan are good but not as good as they used to be.

To me , German car are bull...... , did you have any Japan car ?

i have a 2014 vw up and owned it since 2016 .. its bullet proof what a car that just keeps going

Quality built car had one 3 years no problems also have a 208 like a bean tin on wheeels

Have you ever owned a Japan car ?

Then I can bet you don't even know much about car. Audi, BMW and VW ranked in the bottom 10 of a study into engine reliability.

So a Volkswagen through and through. Neat details and touches and terrible build quality. There is no excuse for the problems mentioned, other than the seats. Toyota can sell you an Aygo for less than 8 grand and nothing will go wrong with it for thousands of miles, yet people will say it isn't as well made just because the interior plastic look cheap.

Bought 3 yr old 22K High Up! Just couldn't live with the transmission. Clunky gear change, vibration through clutch pedal and strange noise when changing gear over 4000 rpm. Asked dealer to check it out, told all Up!s are the same! Handed car back and bought a Polo.

Ricky Bobby hands

And it's a worse than Janapnese car of that range?

I wonder how tall this guy is

Not effective comments

I talk from my experience,you talk wtah wikipedia tell you

Fuzzy crackly radios on our 2 Ibizas as well. Clearly VAG need to invest in better radio receivers in their cars!

Japan 's car is a crap ??

Have you ever owned geramn car

it's a VW, of course it will have faults, the ones that don't are built in Japan or Korea. By the way who built that dashboard, Beethoven? cause it looks cheap n nasty. £700 for a new compressor, firstly that's sounds like a bad design if it's stone damaged, secondly I would expect a manufacturer to replace free during warranty, as a matter of goodwill

yes

1st

i thought the steering wheel was off centre on the right hand drive models

yea , why ? I have volkswagen Polo GTI

VWs are highly overrated..

That's nothing new, really...

It looks like a box.... The toyota iQ is a much better car

Terrible looking car

VW Up! is a JOKE! It looks awful, and it really looks like a clown.. I wouldn't want to be caught dead in one- It's an embarassment
