Vauxhall Agila (2000 - 2007) 1.2i 16V Club 5d (2003/53) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I really don't know..."idiot" perhaps? If you buy one of these you will need a sense of humour or have very thick skin. I'm contemplating jumping into a lake? whoever designed this car needs to be tarred and feathered.

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

They can't stop laughing at me. You probably can't see the form that I'm filling in but it asks "...what effect - if any - the car has had on your life" Hmmm...Anyone wanna feel like a looser? - get one of these puppies!

Would you buy this car again and why?

I didn't buy it - was a family donation because the Micra broke - come back Micra!!! There is one big question when you think of this car and that is just "Why?"

What are you likely to buy next?

Anything - and I mean anything but another one of these

Didn't buy from a dealer

£0

Did you get a good deal and why?

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Simply Awful This car has the power to turn even the most competent drivers into shivering incompetent wrecks. It doesn't go - suffers from small wheel syndrome I guess - sets off in a jumping wheel spin - highly embarrassing and potentially dangerous? It doesn't stop - the small wheels again? It doesn't go round corners - small wheels perhaps? - plus it leans over more than Mr Lean in a leaning contest. This is the first car I've owned that slides on the non stick surfaces on roundabouts! (yes I have changed the tyres and the steering is okay!) If it rains then this is a whole new exciting game of chance - will it go? - will it stop? ...and it spins for Britain when you travel a slight incline. Changes lane on the motorway if a small child sneezes a mile away.

What's it like to park?

I can reverse park - honest I can! But...what on earth is going on between the steering wheel and the road when you slip this little baby into reverse? I almost thought that it was a tiller on a boat - probably about the same accuracy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Just usual wear and tear

What's most practical about your car?

Absolutely nothing really - unless you are 9' 6" tall
