Brilliant little car! We just received about a dozen and have them ready to roll!

I think the only downer here in Perth is that the market the up! is aimed at here in Perth either can't or doesn't want to drive manual transmission

I would be very happy to buy my daughters an up! as their first car as it safe, looks cute & I'll teach them manual driving!

Thanks to Kylie at Solitaire Hawthorn

(Special thanks for the stickers & chat

)

Thanks to Dale & Rob at Duttons

(Special thanks

to Dale for giving me the keys for quick drive)

Quick Drive & Various thoughts.
-Likes to be revved and has a nice 3 cylinder thrum.
-Steering is perfect, turning circle to.
-The seat adjusters in the 4 door are on the passenger inside, on the 2 door on both sides???
-You have to adjust the seat in the 2 door after moving the seats forwards for rear seat passenger access.
-For those that use sunvisor mirrors only the passenger gets a inbuilt one.
-The bonnet strap is like on a Hyundai Getz not bad thing just interesting.
-maps&more would be distracting if you have to use it while driving - did not have maps&more on the demo I tested, just sitting in the car playing with it saw that you have to take time to actually use it)
-In closing I don't think any City Car comes close to the feeling you get while driving the up!.

Thanks for the pics and nice write-up.

I was inspired to go to my nearest dealer to grab a pricelist:

Can't help to think there's a mistake with the 5-door pricing?

It looks odd with the red accents, All the colours other than black the rear hatch looks odd not being the same colour.

Black looks like the weener.

Hoping to see a few around soon, thanks for the photos
