Good stuff. Havin' a less than great day myself and this cheered me up loads, glad it's finally sorted ....

Good, interesting review and what I like to see; someone who has driven their car over a long period of time and posted honestly what it is like in real world situations. Good stuff ...

FWIW, the starter motor may not be involved with stop/start. I know others (Mazda for instance) make one piston stop at TDC. When you're ready to start again that cylinder is ignited, forcing that piston down and turning the engine over. No starter motor involvement at all, very ingenious. No idea ...

I happens. Seems it's either a sea of white, or silver ....

I've recieved such offers in the past: "As your PCP is about to end it's now time to change cars, come on down to a special event and see for yourself the exciting latest VW models." When the PCP was nowhere near about to end, current agreement finishes in 2020....

Additional benefit is that it cost nowt! Also if thieves break in would they look in a tin box for the keys? Plus you enjoyed the sweetie...

Bwing a bit of a tighty I use cheapo car wash & shampoo as I've found there isn't much difference than better quality, branded products and the the locknut cap always goes 'a bit white' after a short while. Seems you just need to give it a wipe every now and again regardless, think it's prob due to ...

One is seeing a few more new Polos in this area, almost everytime I think "I wonder what aftermarket headlights are on that Go--, oh it's a Polo"....

Well, if you had a base model Polo then it would have been the same engine as the Up but in a larger, heavier, car!
