Three-pot engine a cracker in Up!dated VW city car

You do learn something new every day. During my tenure with the latest version of the wonderful VW Up!, I was waffling on about how Volkswagen came up with such a silly name for their micromini.

Not so silly, however, is this great little car which, having made its original debut in 2011, has recently been updated with a slightly revised exterior enhancement and a new three cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, which is an absolute cracker of a thing and which has made the car an entirely different proposition than previously.

Now you should all know by now that we here at Examiner Motoring just love small cars. There is something about the essential wheel-at-each-corner design of most small cars which makes them alluring to drive because they handle so well.
