The Volkswagen e-Up! is one of the smaller battery-powered cars you can buy and it's brilliant so I think you should stop buying the big cars and get used to driving something a lot smaller like this because our Green Party really wants you to stop driving altogether

Bob I wish you the best with your treatment. I feel sad and sorry that you and your wife and children have to go through the worry and the pain of this, but I hope and pray that you will have the strength to get through it and make a full recovery. You have become a model for all Irish men. We appreciate you and we even love you Bob. Thank you for your honesty. You will not be out of my thoughts until you have recovered. Sean, Wexford

I was driving a Golf a few years ago and we were near Limerick when one of the injectors went. Insurance had us in an hire car within 45 minutes, a VW UP. We drove back to Kildare in the early hours in the UP and were absolutely charmed by it. We had no sense that we were in a small car, or a slow car. We thought it was truly lovely.

just bought this car used with very low km. If you use it for what it was ment for (urban driving with max 2 passengers or a young family) this thing is brilliant. I drive one-way 30 km to work a day, so i will only have to over-night charge 2-3 times a week. i would have happily paid extra for ACC if that was an option. And even though its clearly a city car, it handles quite well on the autobahn.

@David Quinn We too have a Mii electric which we bought brand new in September 2021 with just 8 miles on the clock, we paid £16,952. After taking delivery of a Citroën Ami in November 2022 we decided to let the Mii go, a big mistake! Sold it through carwow with just 3,500 miles on the clock to a dealer in York and received £17,600. Five months later and they still had it unsold with the price now down to £14,990 so we bought it back, mistake rectified and it will never be sold again. The Citroën Ami drew the short straw and has now gone to a new home.😊

The prices of all cars have gone crazy. I’ve decided to keep my 12 year old car with 330,000 kms on it until it finally dies as I’m not getting myself into debt for a “new” car that won’t do anything different to the one I currently have. As I maintain my own car, I know it’s in good condition and passes the NCT first time every year. The price of that car, which is half the size of my current car is outrageous.

Ich habe mir den Konzernbruder Seat mii gekauft. Ich kenne die Fahrzeuge schon fast zwei Jahre durch das Geschäft. Diese Fahrzeug haben ganz sicher Nachteile wie maximal 37kw Ladeleistung und die üblichen elektro Fahrzeug Schwächen, aber wenn elektro, dann so ein Fahrzeug und kein SUV Bomber. Ich mag das auch nicht bei Verbrennern. Meistens fahre ich alleine, daher ist das für mich das beste. Problem ich bin 1,90m groß aber im up habe ich genug Platz! Wer viel Autobahn fährt sollte eher zum eco up greifen. Tolles Auto mit ausreichender Ausstattung. Eine lenkradheizung wäre noch super gewesen!

Best of luck with your treatment/s Bob, give that cancer the rear wheel. Thank you so much for the lovely review, I had been waiting for that to come out for a while after watching my all time favourite car review bar none of the up, created by you a decade ago or so. Much inspired by that review I bought an e-up! in 2021, it was a campaign model fully equipped, priced at 179.000NOK ~ 15.700€. I just love the car for what it is as much as what it is not. It's not a big overpowered overpriced electric SUV, but an unassuming small car that gets the job done while putting a smile on my face. Once a year I take the car for a spin down to Denmark and the range is just amazing, 300km when pacing behind a trailer and around 220 when not. I run it in eco+ mode at max speed which is then 95km/h on the speedometer. On loger trips my only gripe is the lack of an adaptive cruise control which would truly make these trips relaxing. We travel at 500km legs at a time, leaving with a full battery I spend down to 1.5hours plugged in at the charging stations and then arrive with an empty battery before the night. My wife and kid however are somewhat slower than that, so the car will be waiting for them haha. Anyways, all the best mate, will be looking forward to seeing more from you in the future.

As a citigo owner who likes the small run around and looking for a EV replacement. An E up would be my first choice if it was not for the price and very very low driving range. So, currently running the 70k mileage citigo that we bought new worth about £3k. So come on car makers. Where is that ev for people like me.

It's a second car Bob, unfortunately, VW has priced it out of the reach of anyone looking for a second car. Better value to spend the money on a good EV and an E-bike. TBH it's the kind of car manufacturers should be producing as mass-market cheap options. Instead, they are intent on driving the market to larger vehicles.
