<p>2023 was the last ever production year for the Volkswagen Up!.<br />
<br />
The Volkswagen Up! was consistently highly rated throughout its production life for being a reliable, well-built, and fun-to-drive city car. Its low running costs, fuel efficiency (around 54-55 mpg), and easy maneuverability made it a popular choice for urban commuters and first-time buyers. Available trims in the final model run included the base model, Black Edition, Beats (with an upgraded 300W sound system), and R-Line. <br />
<br />
The electric variant called the e-Up! is considered a great city car, praised for its nippy and fun-to-drive performance around town, comfortable ride over bumps, and practical size. However, its range of about 160 miles is a limitation for long trips, and it lacks a traditional touchscreen, instead relying on a phone mount. It also won &quot;Best City Car&quot; at the AA Car Awards 2023. <br />
<br />
It officially ended in October 2023, with no direct successor immediately available.<br />
<br />
Spotted in Bradford, England.</p>

<p>Poem.<br />
<br />
Dawn beckons.<br />
Snow-tinged hills break the brightening sky-backcloth.<br />
Street-lights, house-lights, theatre-lights, Cathedral flood-lights and a fast, rising sun, pierce night’s gloom.<br />
Radiant, yellow-sodium beams reach out,<br />
like demented starfish <br />
across the pewter-grey river,<br />
warming the icy-chill.<br />
Freshly laid snow picks up the light sources<br />
and “wintrifies” a captivating scene.<br />
Its snow-time at Christmas in the Highlands.<br />
Magic……pure magic!</p>
