Vauxhall Agila (2008 - 2013) 1.2 VVT SE 5d Owner Review

A good car for around town. It's small and easy to park, but feels compact and more vulnerable on longer motorway journeys. The boot space is large enough for some everyday grocery shopping. It also has a handy shelf below the boot space for shopping bags etc. The rear seats need to be lowered for larger loads, which can be lowered from the boot space. With the rear seats down you can transport awkwardly large items (in my case bike boxes - can be loaded vertically due to the ceiling height) . The car has been extremely reliable with no issues. It returns 50mpg on average (mainly around town some motorway driving - 15%) Road tax (VED) is £30 currently (2018). Insurance I find around £250-300 (male 50 married, no penalty points). It pulls away quickly as it is so light 0-25mph, so good in town. The only downside is the how safe you feel on a motorway but I don't use the car often for this. MOT and servicing has been cheap and inexpensive. Owner for 2 years.
