This superb VW Up! Move Up! is one of those cars that instantly puts you at ease. It’s cheerful, brilliantly engineered, and feels like it’s been designed with real everyday drivers in mind — whether you’re just starting out behind the wheel or you need a dependable, compact commuter that makes city life simpler. It’s upbeat, solid, and quietly impressive in that classic Volkswagen way.

 
A superb choice for learners and first‑time drivers
The Up! has long been a favourite among new drivers, and the 2017 Move Up! shows exactly why.

Light, intuitive steering makes it easy to place the car on the road.
Excellent visibility thanks to large windows and a tall, upright driving position.
Compact dimensions mean parking, reversing, and tight manoeuvres feel far less intimidating.
Predictable, confidence‑boosting handling helps learners feel in control from day one.
It’s a car that forgives mistakes, encourages smooth driving, and never overwhelms. For someone learning clutch control, road positioning, or low‑speed manoeuvres, the Up! is a genuinely reassuring partner.

And then there’s the running cost advantage: the low insurance group makes it far more affordable than many rivals, which is a huge plus for younger drivers or anyone trying to keep monthly costs sensible.

 
Brilliant as a city runabout or daily commuter
The Up! thrives in urban environments. It’s small enough to slip through tight gaps, nimble enough for busy traffic, and efficient enough to make daily commuting inexpensive.

Tight turning circle for effortless city navigation.
Smooth, economical 1.0 MPI engine that’s lively around town and frugal on longer trips.
Comfortable ride quality that absorbs bumps better than many small cars.
Easy to park anywhere, especially in cramped residential streets or multi‑storey car parks.
Despite its size, the Up! feels surprisingly grown‑up on the motorway. It’s stable, refined, and doesn’t get blown around like some ultra‑compact rivals. For short hops, school runs, or daily commutes, it’s a joy.

 
Volkswagen build quality — small car, big standards
One of the Up!’s greatest strengths is how solid and well‑made it feels. Volkswagen’s reputation for quality absolutely shines through here.

Tight, consistent panel gaps
Robust interior materials that resist wear
Switchgear with a precise, engineered feel
Doors that close with that unmistakable VW solidity
Even after years of use, most Up! models still feel fresh, rattle‑free, and dependable. It’s a car built to last, not just to meet a price point.

 
Reliability you can trust
The 1.0 MPI engine in the Move Up! is one of VW’s most proven small petrol units. It’s simple, durable, and known for excellent long‑term reliability.

Owners consistently praise:

Low maintenance costs
Strong real‑world fuel economy
Minimal mechanical issues
Affordable servicing and widely available parts
It’s the kind of engine that just gets on with the job — ideal for both new drivers and busy commuters.

 
Structural strength and crash protection
Despite its compact size, the Up! is impressively strong. Volkswagen engineered it with a rigid safety cell and high‑strength steel in key areas, giving it excellent crash protection for a city car.

The Up! earned top marks in Euro NCAP, including strong scores for adult and child occupant protection. Features like well‑designed crumple zones, a stiff passenger cell, and advanced restraint systems help it punch well above its weight in terms of safety.

For parents choosing a learner’s car — or commuters who spend time in busy traffic — that structural reassurance matters.

 
Easy, friendly, and enjoyable to drive
Everything about the Move Up! feels designed to make driving simple and pleasant:

Light clutch and gearbox
Smooth throttle response
Predictable braking
Comfortable seating position
Calm, uncluttered dashboard layout
It’s a car that feels instantly familiar, even if you’ve never driven one before.

 
Overall verdict
The 2017 VW Up! Move Up! is one of the best small cars of its era — and still one of the smartest choices today. As a learner’s car, it’s confidence‑boosting, affordable, and incredibly easy to live with. As a city runabout or commuter, it’s nimble, economical, and built with genuine quality.

It’s solid, safe, reliable, and surprisingly refined. A small car that feels big on reassurance and everyday usability.
