2003 volkswagen Lupo reviews

Volkswagen Lupo 1.4 SE 2003

I bought this car in November from the VW dealer as an approved used car. It had 7000 miles on the clock. However, I’ve never used it for more than 2 weeks worth of consecutive days, because it’s always been in the garage. In fact, it was in the garage for the whole of December. Electrical niggles are the order of the day. I’ve been through 3 alternators, a new ECU, battery and FULL rewire in 3 months and 2000 miles... Lucky it’s under warranty. I don’t fault the effort VW put into trying to fix the problem, but they simply can’t diagnose it. The dealer (Heritage in Salisbury) has been top notch. It’s a lovely car to drive, and it’s a real shame. I picked it up from the garage this Monday and it went well all week until this morning, when on the way to work I experienced the same problem. I’m taking it back to the dealer this afternoon to get my money back. Absolutely useless piece of junk.
