In this video I share with you the purchase for stock of a 2021 VW Up! GTI. Owner Jonathan was a good sport and was happy to be in the video which I think adds a lot to it. His location meant I just couldn't resist going home via some gnarly peak district roads which seemed be perfect for making the most of the Up! GTI unique size/performance ratio. Is it just as fun today as I remember it in 2018 when I first drove one? Watch this video and find out!
