When is the volkswagen up released

It's better news with the TSi. Seemingly less than half the throttle in the Up TSI achieves similar acceleration, and while the TSI never feels supermini fast it still retains all the characteristics of the regular car — refinement, frugality 45mpg even in brisk driving, but frequently mids and relative silence — while adding welcome real-world performance. The standard five-speed gearbox now has a smoother shift, too. On paper? It feels remarkably grown-up for a small car; tyre, road and wind noise are relatively hushed, and the cabin is spacious and well-built.

There's a real sense of being in a scaled-down Golf. Another difference between the TSI and those early cars is a more substantial feel to the way the Up gets down the road. It never felt flimsy before, but you controlled the car through a surprisingly thin steering wheel rim, and on 14in wheels and section tyres, the Up felt like it weighed very little at all. It hardly makes the Up feel weighty or leaden, but it does feel more tied-down, a little firmer, and appropriately given the more powerful engine, sportier.

The flat-faced seats are comfortable in a straight line but unsupportive in quicker cornering, and front-end grip runs out soon enough when you begin attacking corners.

The low-down urge of the engine can rapidly overwhelm an inside tyre accelerating out of corners too, which can feel scrappy. The extra torque in particular no longer leaves the Up feeling out of its depth - and breath - on faster roads, the more substantial wheels and tyres generating higher cornering limits, and it's a sharp looker too. It's a good car then, but we're still eager for that proper Up GTI. The wait until its debut in will be excruciating, given the lack of suitable alternatives.
