That is interesting. I have a Renault (Captur), just about everything under the bonnet is labelled "Nissan", I believe that mechanically it is the same as the Nissan Juke (which visually, is, in my opinion, hideous).
My son-in-law recently retired. He had a Company Car for most of his working life, so, needed to acquire a car on retirement. He is not bothered by the "street-cred" aspect, and, I recommended the Dacia to him. He did buy a Dacia, not sure of the model, but, he is very pleased with it.

Some Lupos are very good to. We had an early 1.6 GTI quite a rare car at the time. Silver with all the sports trim.
Volkswagen wanted the car and they bought it off us.

Mechanically, yes.
However, the outer structure, bodywork, doors and glass are all totally unique to the Aygo, and in their haste to give their own triplet a unique identity they bestowed upon it a propensity to leak badly from both doors and the tailgate. It was never resolved during production, and some of the 'fixes'applied under warranty were awful bodges, including glueing on a second set of additional door welts - not only did it look awful, it didnt fix the leaks and marked the car to any would be buyer as a wet one.

My last new car was a Lupo, back in 2001. 88,000 miles in two years before I sold it.

Didn't they do a 3 litre version? Ie, 3 litres per 100km, something like 94mpg. That would be fantastic.
Have you driven the 1.4 vrs with the dsg box, right little go kart, not my choice of a car though.

My Mum had one. It felt more bloated and wallowy than a small car has any right to. Im not a Skoda fan, but it can't be denied their modifications to VW designs are usually very successful. The Labia of all generations is the one exception - possibly because the Polo itself, unlike the Glof, has never quite been class leading. The high output 1.4 is also not an especially brilliant power unit. The headling figures are ok but its not the smoothest and the power delivery is oddly flat.
