Need to downgrade my car.. looking at a...

VW Lupo S 1.4 1999 - 62k on the clock.

I currently have a 2.0IDE Megane Coupe 2001 and my change of job means I need a more efficient car.

Basically I just wondered what people think of Lupos? I'm quite fond of them but don't know a great deal about them.

If they are crap, what else would you consider that is similar, for around 3k. Small and economical without being a corsa, fiesta or saxo?

NO DIESELS

3k might get you a mondeo diesel?

why does it need to be a micro sized car?

I want to avoid a diesel because of servicing costs. It doesn't have to be microsized but if I'm avoiding diesels, that narrows my choices somewhat. Really keen on the lupo tbh but just wanted some opinions

I see where you guys are coming from and I appreciate it - but try to approach the thread and leave diesels out of the equation.. I'm just curious about petrol options.


And what are peoples thoughts on the Lupo?

I should mention at this point that I've owned a smart car
