Volkswagen Fox (06 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 24 April 2006 Last Updated: 25 September 2009 This is the cheapest new Volkswagen in recent memory - a roomy, easy-to-drive city runabout that's cheap to run and well built. It effectively replaced the Volkswagen Lupo, but is far superior with better refinement and more interior space. It may lack the charm and personality of other small cars like the Fiat Panda or Toyota Aygo, but it makes up for it with a versatile and comfortable interior. There are just a handful of engines and trims available, making the range simple and easy to understand. 3 out of 5 Other Volkswagen reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £7,800 - £8,535 View all new prices Used price range: £2,885 - £6,690 View all used prices Get a Volkswagen Fox (06 on) information pack Next steps Volkswagen Fox cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
