Vauxhall Agila (08 on) - Review Review by Dan Harrison on 27 February 2008 Last Updated: 27 August 2009 The Agila is a small car that's roomy and flexible on the inside, much in the same vein as the Honda Jazz and Renault Modus. Its height makes it slightly more versatile than a traditional small car (like Vauxhall’s own Corsa) and fold-flat seats means that it has the carrying capacity of a small van. It’s available with three engines and the 1.2-litre is the pick of the bunch for a mixture of performance and economy. The Agila is actually built for Vauxhall by Suzuki, which produces its own version called the Splash. The big difference is that an equivalent Splash is better value - and comes with more standard equipment. 4 out of 5 Other Vauxhall reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £8,495 - £13,350 View all new prices Used price range: £3,492 - £8,687 View all used prices See 6 new models for sale from £8,695 Get a Vauxhall Agila (08 on) information pack Next steps Vauxhall Agila cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
