Vauxhall Agila 1.2i 16V 5d (2002/51) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Great value for money - £5000 for an 18 month old car, you can't really moan.
Costs
Costs next to nothing in Petrol. I get 320 miles from £24 worth of petrol! The car is still under warranty and everything I have had done to it has cost me NOTHING.

On the road
Driving
Drives ok. Very hard over bumps, a nightmare to drive in high winds on motorways but you get used to it. Power steering is great and I couldn't do without the electric mirrors for parking as the car is so high.
Performance
Not the quickest of cars out there, but it does what I need it to do. Note that this engine is VERY noisy (I bought a big stereo though)!

Living with it
Reliability
I love Vauxhalls and so have a very biased opinion. The car hasn't broken down on me yet - and I do push my cars very hard.
Image
This car really does look like postman pats van and I am always have the mick taken out of me for owning one, but at the end of the day I don't have to look at it as I'm on the inside!
Comfort
The only car I have driven in for 3.5 hours straight and not got a dead leg. There is bags of space and more than enough room for 4 adults without feeling cramped.

Security and Service
Security
I have a built-in immobiliser and deadlocks on the door locks. Doesn't really require much more than that as it isn't exactly a very nickable car!
Service
I think the Vauxhall garage I use in Ruislip is great and the staff are very very helpful. It's one of the reasons that I have had Vauxhall cars for the last 5 years.
