up!.. has anyone else driven one?

[dubstyle]

Yeah the salesman stood in front and I hit the gas pedal, He wasn't fussed having a 1T car moving towards him haha

Gees he's brave. I heard it is only to reduce the severity of accidents and will not always stop you from hitting something. Also that it is designed to see cars and not pedestrians, motorbikes etc.

Even if the car hit you at 10kmh it would knock you flying and give you one hell of a bruise.

I liked it! Drove quite well, a little gutless but still manages to chirp second on hard shifts. I'd have one for around town in a heart beat.... sacked on 15x9's

went and drove, negotiated with one of these today.
very keen, drives great, cruises the freeway well, stereo is good, maps and more is awesome,
looks like the vr6 will be going! haha.
what prices are people paying, any negotiations? i got 17500 with maps and no other options. thats including delivery to Newcastle which is 2 hours from sydney.
Lowered, 16x7 or 8, vinyl wrapped roof and hood, and i think itll be a great daily.

[Tobes_WIR35]

That's a fair price. We paid $18,000 for the same thing, but in Qld so on roads and delivery costs might be more.

Ah cool not sure whether to add comfort pack. Cruise control would be good , not to fussed on the mdi as the maps device does that , and rear park sensors , really I can almost touch the back window haha

[Astron Boy]

I intend to wait for a good ex-demo with both the comfort packs already installed.
Don't really want much more.

Everyday I refresh Carsales, and the prices incrementally drop.
Basic model, no extras ex demo going for $13,990 (drive away) with the ability to add basic mods like floor mats, m&m, etc.
That works out cheaper than buying a 0k and waiting in line.

[jamie88]

Maps and more can't be retrofitted , it uses a different dash panel.

I had also read this, and the people in the UK have a thread on how to fit this if they didn't take the option.
I have rung a couple of dealers to confirm this and hear their bit.

It seems that some dealers are offering it in the adverts in a cheeky way.
They advertise one car with the drive away price, but will have another in stock with the option fitted, simply pay for M&M.
So, you have the base model listed $13,990 DA. But if you want the M&M option, then you would get a different car at $14,490 DA.
Same car, color, different kms, but still an ex demo with XXkms.

Advert: *ask about Maps and More upgrade*

But yeah, in the end, still cheaper than waiting for a newy.

[jamie88]
