Volkswagen Fox (2006 - 2012) 1.2 Urban Fox 3d (2006/06) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I go for value for money and economy rather than high expense. I prefer cars that dont ruin the climate and are as environmentally friendly as possible. This car may not be the best looking, but its cheap to run, has good fuel economy and low emissions

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

They like it. Recently took parents on 400 mile trip with no complaints.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I wouldnt buy again as I prefer to have new models when they come out. But I would recommend one to a friend

What are you likely to buy next?

Another small car, will see whats on the market in the next 3 years

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

£6,995

April 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

Had a friend working in the dealership, got free interior mats and quick delivery

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Cheap to buy, VW badge and reliability

What was the dealer like?

Excellent

What's it like to drive?

Very nice to drive, 80-85mph on motorway no problem with not intrusive engine noise, the seats are very comfy on long journeys as well. Its nippy around town, and holds the road well. Visibility is excellent.

What's it like to park?

Great, the power steering is light at low speeds and the car has a very tight turning circle making it a doddle to park. The rear window is a little small, but otherwise visibility is good.

Have you had any problems with the car?

LCD Mileage and clock on dashboard loses some of the numbers now and then. This is going to be fixed by VW once the part becomes available. The keyfob has also been problematic, possibly a lose connection inside. Again, going to be fixed under warranty.

What's most practical about your car?

Lots of storage places for drinks. Seats are very comfy and good adjustments, reach adjustment on steering rare on a car this price

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The stereo is very good, excellent sound quality
