Nope. Fiancee had a Lupo as her last car. Loved the thing, decent (I hate this word but will use it anyway) "nippy" 1.4 engine, well built, decent (for it's size) sound deadening, even felt quite spacious.
Had an Up! last week as a (dis)courtesy car and I've never wanted to get rid of a car as much as I had this one. It was literally impossible to change gear smoothly whilst making progress (yes I'm aware it's a city car, so taking onto an A road between towns is not it's natural hunting ground), I resorted to matching the revs and changing clutchless to get a smoother change! The suspension is the most comically damp thing in the world, every single corner felt as if I was on a boat, with the car wanting to fall over. The seating was uncomfortable, the noise was unbearable, the engine is terrible and the random rattles/vibrations that came from the car when under load/accelerating were just random and annoying. To top the whole thing off, this car was listed on the documentation as £12,000 in value (I had it handed to me with 47 miles on the clock, returned it with 250~), I want to know who is daft enough to buy one of these monstrosities over a year old Polo?
I'll ignore how under powered and slow it is.
I'm amazed there's such a market for stolen Vauxhall parts given a bright yellow Corsa bumper is probably worth about 50p.
Then again the new Corsa's are probably driven by more chav's than any other car with the sick black rims and body kit draped over a stonking 85bhp engine.

I always have HDR turned ON, on my Nexus 5. But the camera is crap, its not bad. But compared to photos taken with S6 or Z3 its bad.
Edit
I had a quick go at lightroom, the picture quality is crap as its not as sharp or detailed.
Overdone it a bit on this one...
RAW
Yeah bit of overkill on the Saturation there
.Trying turn up the Clarity, Luminance and Sharping amount to get a similar effect to mine, also this will help loose the low quality shot of it being taken with a phone.
I imagine it's due to the crowd that own them, much more likely to want to deal in stolen parts.

My '06 Audi A4 S-Line. I've had four years of (touch wood) faultless motoring in this baby.

Slight impulse purchase. Same model as my old one, but in better condition.
Pipercross induction, jackson racing manifold, borla exhaust, clifford proximity alarm, lined roof, dynamat EVERYWHERE, waxoiled undercarriage, zero rust, 3000 miles since 2005, dry stored..... bought without MOT, but sailed through one with simply a numberplate bulb today. £600. I'm laughing, my old one sold for this and had a knackered roof, iffy sills was totally stock.
