How to GTi your Up experience
Back to basics
Bring on the fun
Simple pleasures
Accommodating value
To recap
Small car, bigger engine is always a fun recipe, and although the Up GTi isn’t outright fast, it’s quick enough and lots of fun to drive. Great to look at, nice to sit in, and good value for what you get, it’s an old-school sort of car that takes you back to your first car by forming an emotional bond, and making you smile when you get behind the wheel.
