('innit pretty, lined up with @Microwave 's and @adamd 's machines)
A whopping 75hp contained in 3 cylinders of fury and nearly 200Nm of torque makes it a slightly nippy car that isn’t the smoothest at idle or pulling away, but hey broken exhaust means it sounds kinda neat and the wonders of PD mean even bollocking it around I haven’t seen under 55mpg yet
Now currently sitting at just under 105k mi on the clock (Barely ran in) there’s some work that needs doing when money is there, some rust issues and paint fade, and a nasty scratch coupled with a not looked after at all interior (Not helping that much myself). So far served me a year, gone down and back up the country in two days without a single issue, survived some controlled and not so controlled skidding in snow, but hey, at some point it’ll get treated to a new exhaust and a remap so that’ll be a nice treat. 105hp here I come!
I’m not a fan of mounting diesels in such small cars nowadays, but goddamnit, I like every diesel supermini that’s capable of doing 3L/100 km in reality.
And I love Lupos - to be fair, it’s one of the VWs that weren’t boring as fuck. Not to mention that, when Lupo was in production one of most thrilling performance cars from VW was… a Lupo GTi. Good luck with your lil’ box.
The GTI would be the dream, but they’re rare, expensive and not nearly as good on fuel, but hey, thanks!
Yeah, the 3L’s had a 1.2TDI but with careful driving you could get the SDI and the regular TDI up near that kind of value, my normal average is probably around 4.1/4.2.
The torque makes for a nice drive, motorway overtakes are stupidly easy but it has the downside of feeling completely flat after it drops off
Well it’s been an interesting month or so, lost a battle in the war for the Asda car park and came out with a lovely scrape and luckily no dents
The stance gremlins came and visited a single wheel, that was a fun drive to the garage
Got two new arches to replace these rusty POS’s so they’re getting painted and fitted when it’s not winter
Aaaaand then the lovely snow and such resulted in my rear bumper getting nicely acquainted with the front of a Fiesta, so that’s hopefully getting sorted soon depending on weather.
Funny little car. 200 Nm in sth that light must be cool
