Volkswagen Fox (06 on) - Review

Review by David Ross on
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.

Cheeky styling, fun to drive, low running costs, cheaper new than near-identical C1 and 107

Back to basics cabin, tiny boot, optional navigation system dislikes built-up areas
