Vauxhall Agila (2008 - 2013) 1.2 16V Club 5d (2008/08) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Not great as I'm a young driver, often get asked if it's my Granny's car.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Family love it and due to the fact I installed a 15" subwoofer in the boot, my friends share a laugh with me.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No, looks too ugly and isn't even that economical (38mpg).

What are you likely to buy next?

Thinking about a 06-07 reg Hyundai Coupe or something similar.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£2,800

When did you buy the car?

June 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

My mother was fed up of me using her's so took me off her insurance, this was the first car for the price and age that came in the rural area I'm from.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Pulls very well for a 1.2, overtaking is easy enough as long as you drop a gear a rev. Handling isn't great, body roll is a big factor on country roads, ride is a little harsh also. Definitely suited for City/town driving.

What's it like to park?

Decent, I find the rear window not great for parking, find a corsa to be a lot easier but it's small and light steering so parks well.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Leak in the gearbox but apparently not vital? Looking at fixing it in summer.

What's most practical about your car?

The 60/40 rear seats.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The fact it can take mp3 CD's.
