Business Car Manager Road Test Rating

The five-door VW up! takes all of the virtues of the standard VW up! business car and simply adds a touch more practicality.

It’s by far the best city car on the market right now – a quality, good-to-drive and cheap-to-run runabout that will hold onto its value. Speaking of which, the fact that the five-door up! range starts at £575 less than a Toyota Aygo is the icing on the cake for a business car manager.  With an electric version and a hot hatch GT model on the way in the next two years, the up! range looks set to have it all.
