digital_descartesUp! Little but crazy (sweetheart)
Yesterday I was replacing the air filter in it, and oh my, what an adorably tiny, teeny-weeny throttle body drives it (my hand for comparison) (I have a 1.0 MPI with an impressive 60 horsepower power)

Blaster MThe funny thing is that if you don’t type “up” with an exclamation mark, the YouTube search engine, for example, completely ignores that word and just searches for “vw”
dual_sport_dork 🐧🗡️Maybe I’ll do swap in my from 1.0MPI to 1.0TSI, but it will be a lil expensive
My mom owns one that i drive occasionally and i live it too. Verx fuel efficient, still a lot of stace available if you only have two passengers and tilt thr back seats anf of course the size allows for easy parking and maneuvering.
I also like the engine sound of the inline 3 once you get the revs up.
𝕾𝖕𝖎𝖈𝖞 𝕿𝖚𝖓𝖆I cannot yell this loud enough from any hilltop. Small cars are the best. They conserve fuel. They are all you need virtually every time. It’s so easy to hold hands because the car is narrow. Many of them are so incredibly cheap to maintain. But most of all, they’re light so you can usually toss one around.
15 or so years ago, I hated the 8th and 9th generation Honda Civic. Perhaps unfairly so. Now that I have a 2012 model, I love it. The chassis is so good. It’s so planted. Sure, it’s slow as stink, but that’s not what it’s about. It’s about doing 40 mpg but you can also carve out some twisty roads in it. It’s a much more fun car than its egg-shaped appearance might lead you to believe.
Big vehicles suck. I also have a Toyota Sequoia. Sure, it’s incredibly comfy. I don’t mind the floatiness when it’s loaded up with people and we’re driving two states away. But it’s unengaging. I want to drive it on a straight road only because it feels like piloting a skyscraper. My wife likes an SUV, though.
But when I go alone, I’m in my little Honda.
Speaking of long-distance travel, it’s actually pretty fun to drive with four people in it because it sits low, but surprisingly, it sits normally rather than sagging into the wheel wells like you’d expect and it handles dynamic turns pretty well, too. And the 1.0MPI 60hp also seems to have enough power to handle it, because I don’t really feel much difference in acceleration, I mean, it’s not like it takes 30 seconds to get to 50 km/h when it’s loaded with people.
The UP and the Opel Adam are about the best of their class
