First of all I'll introduce my car which is a 2004 Volkswagen Lupo GTi in Black. As standard these cars push out 125bhp, from the 1. 6 16V engine under the bonnet. In the UK the lupo has always been seen as an expensive small car, which when compared to its rivals, it was. The majority of Lupo drivers you see on the roads in the UK are generally over 50 and use the car as a A to B car, to and from the shops.
