Vauxhall Adam (2012 - 2019) 1.0T ecoFLEX Glam (Start Stop) 3d Owner Review

1.0T ecoFLEX Glam (Start Stop) 3d
Vauxhall 2016 Adam

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

The 1.0lt Turbo is fantastic, the engine doesnt feel like a 3pot, it pulls and then some, more power than the 1.2 and 1.4 N/A engines. Has 6 gears, perfect, cruise control-even better. I would try to find a model with the built in SatNav and leather seats if I was to buy another though, the standard cd/dab head unit is a puzzle to figure out. The car is quiet on the road, lovely to drive, good visibility, cheaper and much better looking than the Corsa... It's amazing on fuel, £10 a year to tax, but more expensive to insure and parts are expensive yes, but treat it with care and don't crash it and you will be fine. Only issue I have had, which most Adams suffer from is the temperamental fuel gauge which is unfortunately not covered under recall by Vauxhall (but it should, this is my 3rd Adam, all had this fault)

How reliable do you find the car?

Super reliable but does eat the fob batteries, 2032 type, inexpensive.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Surprisingly capable. I use mine to carry my 15ft canoe on the roof and remove the back seats to fit all the camping gear in.
