    I was looking at renting one from Europcar in August (overseas) but considering how much highway driving I had ahead of me, the Passat I got was a much better option.

    My fiancee and I just registered the first 3 door Up! in Queensland! A little white one with Maps n More. Wanted to get all of the options but VW had no idea how long it would take so we decided to go with what they had on the floor. Will shop around for some nice wheels to compliment it. Pick it up tomorrow!

    We took one for a test drive last weekend, they are great little things to drive, a country mile ahead of the other competitors like the Barina, Suzuki Alto, Mazda2 and so on. Everything about it just felt really solid and nicely put together, road noise was minimal, drove really smooth, and was quite nimble and zippy. The styling is pretty neat too in my opinion. The build quality felt better than my GTI (although the GTI now has 35,000km on it, so it's not a fair comparison to a car fresh off the dock).

    Drove a Up! last night and then walked away with my order placed for one. 2 weeks to I see it. I was very surprised at how it handles and feels like a much bigger car with so much room inside. Very happy with it indeed.

    Thanks, I got the 3 door in white with PID. The radar system is quite good and it's good to see VW putting this on the smaller cars.

    Did you test the radar system?
    We did at Dub Addiction HQ the other day. Works well for large standing objects like Mitch although moving Mitches are still in danger
