Volkswagen Golf or Up - which should we sell?

We currently own a 2017 Volkswagen Golf SV (14,000 miles) with all the bells and whistles, including park assist, and a 2016 VW Up. We need to make savings, which car should we sell?

Realistically you should be keeping the VW Up because it will prove to be the cheapest car to run with better fuel economy, cheaper insurance, tax and servicing, plus it should hold its value well. Whether you can live without the luxury features of the Golf SV is another matter...

Funky little city car. Cheap to run with low CO2. Lively and fun to drive. Large enough for four adults.
Spacious and flexible interior, almost as nice to drive as a regular Golf, comfortable for rear-seat passengers.
