• VW Lupo GTi - Recommendation for sporty city car 9 Feb 2015 (Forum)
    I thought of the Lupo GTi as it seems to be a shrunken version of my old A3, but those cars are 10-15 years old now, and I'm sure that there are more modern equivalents which are out there.   Presumably a small diesel is out of the running due to the high proportion of short journeys we do.
