Having got one just recently, it's funny how you can you up to 6th gear in them pretty quickly. I more or less do 1, 3, 6 for chilled driving. Definitely in many ways more fun than the Golf R I just had before it! :-)

Yeah there’s definitely a lot of gear changing going on but that just adds to the fun 😊

That looked like a lot of fun! I'm currently torn between Polo and Up GTI but leaning towards Up after seeing this 😄

The Polo would be a lot faster I think especially as it has a DSG gearbox. It’s also quite a big car compared to the Up. It’s basically a Golf. However, even though Up looks small but is actually very practical, I’ve basically used it as a little van in some situations. And with the mods that it has listen in the description with 150hp, it’s plenty quick enough for British roads and sounds amazing considering it’s just a 1 litre 3 cylinder turbo. I would recommend one if you can get one for 11k maybe 12k max for a 19 plate like mine. Wouldn’t pay nearly 20k for them new though.

Ze Hermans here, i liked that a lot, so funny that most uf the up gti seem to be sold in England. I ordered mine some days ago... Hopefully it won't take like 3 month...

Yep let’s hope you’ll get it soon 👌 I got mine as a demo car so I didn’t have to wait, but here in the UK, you could be waiting up to 9 months or more if it’s a custom order. Which is madness.

Great video buddy, I have a similar set up Miltek Road+, JBS stage1, also Bilstein B12 suspension and ST spacers (from JBS) well worth it for B roads.

Very nice 👍 I’ve poly bushed the front ARB on mine, that’s as far as the suspension mods have gone. I’ve mainly gone for power as it’s a daily driver and I want to get my money’s worth from the factory suspension

Is that some trick remap, or did you nail every downchange rev-match perfectly?? Very impressive 👍

It’s not got any rev matching capabilities no haha, it was all me.

How do you get the flutter sound 💥🤩

Hello ! Did you have gearbox or clutch or engine problems after reprogramming the engine to 150 horsepower?

Hi ! Can can we disable esp on the up ? Thank you

Hi, great video and driving. Looks rapid, do you think a standard up gti is still pretty rapid and most importantly fun as that is probably what I would just have? I used to own a twingo rs, great fun, then got an abarth which I hated, then got another twingo rs, then foolishly sold that one to get a bigger car. Was looking for something to give me the fun factor my twingo used to. Thanks, Will

Thanks, it’s definitely fun even when standard, the Twingo RS is a great car for sure but I would definitely recommend this. It’s a shame about their price though because I don’t think they’re worth it anymore new...however, if you can get a used one for around 11/12k then that’s still decent value in my eyes. I got mine for £12,300 around 2 years ago now basically new with a couple of miles on it as a demo car.

I had a Twingo and loved it. Bigger car upgrades and since Feb got the Up GTI. It is amazing and fast enough as is, leaving many things behind on twisty roads, from traffic lights and in convoy overtakes. it is just so agile.and gives that grin factor all the time like the Twingo did. Quick driving and I still can't get less than 5.5 litres / 100km and I go up and down mountains here.

Nice video mate! I got my up next month 😀 what cold air do u have? An type of exhaust love the sound! Be carefull!👍

Hi, the specs are in the description but it’s a Forge induction kit with a Racingline turbo elbow and a non-resonated Milltek cat-back exhaust 👍 the car was mapped before the exhaust and it made 150.4hp

All of the popping sounds is the exhaust, as it has been remapped, it’s also received the crackle on the overrun feature from JBS and it is really loud with a non-resonated exhaust but almost cannot be heard with a stock exhaust.
