No

November 2005
Did you get a good deal and why?
Paid £7k for it which I thought was pretty expensive for a small car, they only sent 1k of them to UK so limited supply - however looking at retail value looks like depreciation is negligable
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I wanted go-kart fun but a well built car

Driving it

electric, great fun hurling it around, my other cars a z4 3.0 - but I still look forward to a spin in the lupo (gave it to the gf)

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Had this car a couple of years and nothing interesting gone wrong with it - its very cheap to run, very reliable - I thoroughly trust it
What's most practical about your car?
least practical are they tyres which are really random size and hard to replace. Its most aluminium car so light, wont rust, and good mpg
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
getting xeons and 6spd box on a car this size as standard is pretty cool
