Lupo Gti
I know it's a Ford forum
but has anyone on here ever had a VW Lupo Gti?
What are they like as a daily driver? Can they be re-mapped etc?
Thanks

Good laugh, NIL luggage space and tyres are hard to get hold of
Used to call mine 'The Pellet'

How come the tyres are hard to get hold of mate? Are they a weird size?

They also shit gearboxes with hard use... I think they look brilliant though.

Engines are very VERY expensive to get power from. No parts for them either other than air filters etc.
