Here's why I think the new Volkswagen up! GTI is the best GTI product in years!

Finally a car reviewer who's NOT a totally idiot. Reviewing a car for what it is. I'm tired of stupid car journalists complaining cars can't hold a 1litre bottle in the pockets; or comparing the 720s to a 718; or reviewing every bloody car reminding me its infotainment isn't as good as BMW's ... Great job! You surely should have more viewers... 😉
Perfect! You nailed it. This is the true essence of this car 🚗
I’ve had my Up gti for nearly a month now and it’s simply a joy to drive . Cheap to buy and run ( compared to say a golf gti) yet absolutely brilliant fun to drive . How can something with 3 cylinders and 1,000 cc be such fun ? Great car for the real world and people who live in the real world.

True, would rather drive a fun slow car on its limits than a fast car slow
You have a great personality. Warm presentation. Good car. Just Subscriped. More of this please.
Your views align with mine. Small, basic, affordable and FUN! Well done VW.
Great video mate and love your style of presentation. Keep it up. Subscribed
Best review of this car I've seen!
Ive just ordered mine, coming in 2 months and I can’t wait, this video gets me even more excited for it to arrive!!!

What? 2 months? I got to wait like 4 to 5 to get mine 😂
Damn right, had mine for nearly a year and it's an absolute joy to drive, looks sweet and was a downright bargain. I don't like too much distracting tech and this is just the ticket :).
Great video 👍😉 It is a real fun car to drive!
Great video!
Lupo GTI was the true successor, this carries on from where that left off imo
I love that 3 cylinder sound

It's a peach.
Absolutely agree. Thoroughly brilliant little car. Had mine just over two months. Well done Vw!
Bought one recently. 3 door Tornado Red on a 19 plate. What a fun little car this is. My first petrol car in nearly 15 years too.
You're great dude. Keep it up. Nice review.
You just earned yourself a sub, well done! 👌❤️
Awesome video, bro!
Hate the people that say this isn't a true GTI. As it's not just about speed, admittedly it is the slowest GTI but them 3 letters mean more than just speed, can't wait to see how they evolve the UP! GTI over the decades. Like they've done with the Polo & Golf. If you want speed get one of them.
good video 👍🏻
I like your thesis about being the true successor to the Golf Mk1 GTi - it's a superb looking little car, great review!
More manufacturers should look at the less is more approach.
lo habrá aqui en colombia??? no he visto el primero
Love your style
Very good and funny video! It's often the more basic and smaller models that are the most fun! Used to have the Smart Roadster Brabus and even with its flaws, it was so much fun!!! Keep up the great videos!

Drum Brakes on the rear, just like the original 1976 Mk1 Gti, so the Up remains true to its heritage.

2:16 Uhm, you know that the problem with drum brakes isn‘t the breaking force? The force, drum breaks do deliver, is higher than disk break force. Main problem with the drum break is the bad heat dissipationand the complicated procedure of changing the drum it self, compared to replacing a disk.
Changed the Gray shoes with red ones
I drive a Peugeot 107.... but I would like a Up! GTI 🤩🤩

There’s only One that’s 205 gti 1,9 looks great and rolls even better !
Man took that opinion straight from James May.
I don’t know why vw made the emblems on this car so huge. It’s looks strange to me, especially on the wheels.
We don't get the Up GTI model .... we got the Mk1 Golf GTI

No, Paul is from Romania. Do you have a problem with that? I am a bit suspicious about why you asked that question. Yes, the car has Swedish plates and it is obvious that Paul may not come from Sweden. But so what? It is a great review and I agree with his comments.
Very funny and honest review, thanks for that. It just have 2 needless things - too big rims and too much doors, otherwise it would be perfect gti. Subscribed to channel.

What do you mean the 0-100kph time isn't relevant for such a car? it's a GTI!! it's one of the few things that is relevant about the car.

I think fun factor and handling are more relevant. GTI's have never had impressive acceleration times. They're FWD cars at the end of the day.
Lol sure the best besides a real GTI :P
Nice ,but too slow and underpowered, needs a stage 1 remap ,and ram air induction kit.👍

I'm sorry but I'd feel like a tool without rear disc brakes, drums are just so archaic and horrible to look at. I get the point of this car but frankly it needs 0-60mph times beginning with a 7 not an 8. Needs about 50% more power than VW gave it. 160-170bhp be perfect

I get what you're saying but I think VW's Marketing Department wouldn't have wanted an up! GTI with 170hp because it would be too close performance wise to the Polo GTI. Plus that would have made this car more expensive that it already is.
