These Reviews are so good. A breath of fresh air. It’s a joy to watch a proper car review, full of such great detail - and so delightfully different from the usual mad journalist driving a road car like a maniac on a race track, tyres smoking, complaining the suspension is too soft - or programmes on TV, (naming no names) where it’s just a program to massage the ego of the presenters, a chance to ‘blow-up-caravans’ or some other crude behaviour, and which don’t give us car-nuts any proper details on the car. No, here these Reviews are so good, narrated by a calm person, illustrating the minutiae we car-nuts want to know about, saying nice things, mentioning interesting technical features and driving sensibly. I’ve been following this channel for months now. A breath of fresh air. And on this Up! review during the driving part, there were more shots looking forward through the windshield and showing the instruments, which was great - more of this please, if possible! Good filming/editing/sound - keep up the good work, team.

This is still one of the most useful VW Up reviews out there. Especially if looking at second hand cars as well. Think yours is one of the few sensible reviews that compares the TSI vs MPI and doesn't just say "Buy the TSI because it's faster!".

I agree with your opinion on the metal door inserts as well. Just pick a Peugeot 108 par example, and see for yourself how cheap the plastic panelling is there. You can press it and it bends a few centimeters deep. I'd pick painted metal any day over that trashy solution.

Great review Thomas. It's often interesting to see the choices manufacturers make in designing small, low-cost vehicles. I think this one is good. I wish we had this car in the US. Maybe they will bring an e-up! in the future.

Great Review. Going to buy it soon.

Another great review Tomas! I heard they will be doing a GT/GTi version - did they say anything about that? (still watching your review, so maybe you will mention that yet). and I love lake Como, I've sure I've been to the town where you started your review.

Very good review! I really don't like huge reviews but this one I watched every minute, very well done!!! We were the first to have TSI engine, Brasil, and it has 105hp with etanol. I drove one and that's really cool to drive. But I thougt it was missing some small stuff like this new steering wheel with its controls, new panel and diagnoses! I'm waiting to have this new look in Brasil.

Finally a mature interior without the red font display under the speed indicator. I also like the iPhone integration (with a shorter cable ofc :) It is finally a fast sat. nav ;)

As usual, a very thorough review - and thanks for being the no. 1 ressource regarding car reviews on YT. In my opinion, two important security features are still missing in the up!: the steering column is only ajustable in height and not length/reach, and the seatbelts are not height ajustable. The driving position is therefore compromised for many drivers, and that affects both the passive and active driving security.

Nice place to do a review Thomas, if a bit of extra work with the camera-person there because of the busy background. Quite sad though that the Up got axed here in Oz considering all the accolades and praise it got. The old model looked more sensible I think while the new version is more of adding some nice dressing ( f/r lights treatment, larger diameter wheels, boxier theme - not really sure about addition of Beats ). Volkswagen should have at least designed the new mounting system for mobile/sat nav feature to be moved by a couple of degrees left-to-right. Hope you can do comparison review with updated Renault Twingo GT vs Volkswagen Up TSI.

I love this car !!!

Nice. The turbo seems to make a real difference, but I wonder if it's quite as refined as the i10 I tried recently which is pretty quiet for a tiddler.

I love the new white interior!

Very great and depth review! Thank you! Btw did I just see a automatic headlight switch in the video? The switch you missed on the previous version of the up/mii 😁. I'm allso curious what the weight is of the TSI? Mmm just 90pk/ps, that is a little on the down side of this engine, and could be done a lot better, with some after market chiptuning. Overall this car, esspecialy with the TSI engine is very interesting car indeed.

Hello Thomas, finally I have tested the vw up! I am driving a Peugeot 208 ehdi 92. So my idea was to go down a segment when buying the next car. Here my impressions of the test drive with the 75 hp variant of the vw up!: pros: 1. good suspension 2. sound isolation quite good 3. shifting very smooth 4. motor silent cons: 1. seating position not fitting 2. annoying reflection of the vent slots in the wind screen 3. chassis a little bit too soft 4. start stop system not refined at all, the whole car is shaking 5. cruise control very uncomfortable 6. car computer awkward 7. cockpit makes a cheap impression 8. digital speedometer not permanent At the end I come to the following conclusion: I really like(d!) the vw up! and seriously considered to buy the 90 hp variant. But after the test drive I am completely disappointed of this car. In comparison to my Peugeot the up! feels like an old car, sorry to say that so clearly. With all the extras I would have ordered the vw would have cost about 18.500 Euros in Germany. For that amount of money I will surely get a nice new Peugeot 208, with a little bit less extras admittedly. I am looking forward to any other comments concerning cars of both the mini car segment and the small car segment. Thanks Thomas for your great reviews. They can be a first step to get good practical information about a car. But finally everyone must of course judge for himself/herself what he or she likes best.

Great review as always! By the way Thomas, do you realize that you "kind of" laugh like Sheldon Cooper in Big Bang Theory? Hehe ^^ Question time, how's CNG in Germany? Is i primary Natural Gas or BioGas or a mixture of both? Here in Sweden we have Biogas 50 and Biogas 100 where the number indicates how much of the gas is renewable. Have a great day! =)

Hey Thomas, yes, I have seen the video about the Peugeot 208. Since I have been driving this car for almost three years now, I was very interested in the review about the facelift version. Next time I will probably order the panoramic roof. It creates such a great athmosphere in the car. One can see it in the video. My personal statement to the Peugeot 208: I like everything about this car. I can't find any detail that is in any way disturbing or annoying. For me it is just perfect. Drivingwise as well as designwise in interieur and exterieur. The only disadvantage of the car is the Euro5 classification. But that's an issue of the car industry and politics. Do you have any information about when Peugeot is going to build in soot filters in their turbo petrol engines? Could you do a review of the 110hp version of the 208 with the automatic gearbox? Thank you for your great work.

excellent you have chosen the five door variant! both TSi and non TSi version. coral blue would have been even better to review it :)

Thanks for your answer. Before my Peugeot 208 I had a Citroën C1, the first generation model. So I actually stepped up a segment. Although I was very satisfied with the Citroen, I don't want to miss the comfort and refinement of the Peugeot anymore. Because of all the great test results however I thought the vw up! could maybe keep up with the 208. The up! is a Volkswagen! As a car enthusiast for many years I am very well aware of the fact that the up! belongs to the mini car segment and the 208 to the small car segment. But, as the old Romans said: De gustibus non est disputandum. Please Thomas, talk also about such small details. They can, like in my case, very well decide pro or against a special car. Thank you for the great videos.

Great review Thomas for such a small car but with a lot of colour combinations. I would definitely go for the red colour with brighter interior or the blue one, also with brighter interior, cloths seats or alcantara seats, Turbo engine, for a little more power and 17 inch rims of course. Overall I would definitely go for a DSG transmission, Compact SUV, 4 whells drive and definitely a car from the VAG.

Hallo Thomas, heute schreibe ich mal auf Deutsch. Hoffentlich hast du das noch nicht verlernt ;-) Ich schaue gerade das Video über den VW up! Facelift, bereits zum xten Mal. Nach der ersten Enttäuschung aufgrund einer eigenen Probefahrt (die Details habe ich ja schon in einem anderen Kommentar aufgeführt) habe ich beschlossen, dem Knirps mit dem großen Raumangebot noch eine Chance zu geben. Ich finde deinen Gedanken nach wie vor sehr reizvoll, den VW up! TSI als Gelegenheit zu sehen, ein Segment niedriger einzusteigen. Das Parken ist noch leichter als beim Kleinwagen. Die monatlichen Unterhaltskosten sinken um 50 bis 100 Euro im Vergleich zu einem Kleinwagen und umweltfreundlicher ist es wohl auch, wenn für die Herstellung eines Autos weniger Material verbraucht wird. Den TSI möchte ich auf jeden Fall auch einmal fahren und das Auto noch einmal wirken lassen. Kann ich mich mit den bei der ersten Fahrt festgestellten Macken arrangieren? Das Gesamtpaket oder Gesamtkonzept des kleinsten VW ist unbestritten hervorragend. Erstaunlich für ein mittlerweile fast 6 Jahre produziertes Fahrzeug. Neuralgische Punkte sind nach wie vor die fehlende Lenkradweitenverstellung, der Tempomat ohne Geschwindigkeitsanzeige und die fehlende permanente Anzeige für digitale Geschwindigkeit und Kühlwasser. Beides hätte ich gerne in den Instrumenten. Die Bordcomputerwerte sind meiner Meinung nach gut auf dem zentralen Display aufgehoben. Wenn dann im März 2018 tatsächlich ein Neuer ansteht, kommt es natürlich auch darauf an, welche Marke das beste Angebot machen kann (Leasingrate, Wartungsflat inklusive Verschleißteile, Versicherung, Anschlussgarantie, Rabatt...). Das schönste Auto nützt nichts, wenn der Händler und sein Service nicht passen. Danke noch einmal für das schöne, ausführliche Video. Fast hätte ich es vergessen: Wie kann es bei ein und demselben Auto zu solch unterschiedlichen Angaben kommen? Auto Bild sagt 71 dB bei Tempo 130, du sagst 75 bis 76. Machen unterschiedliche Straßenbeläge so viel aus?

Hi Thomas, another great review as always! I've always found it fascinating how you say "oh" to 100 kph. Are the letter O and number 0 interchangeable in German as they are in English? In the UK we say Zero or Nought to 100 kph, but never "oh" to 100. However if reading a phone number, often people in the UK would read out 01234 567890 as "oh"1234 56789"oh", or even "zero"1234..., but never "nought"1234. Aren't languages fascinating? :)
