Volkswagen Fox (2006 - 2012) 1.2 Urban Fox 3d (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

The person who drives this car is tight, and highly unintelligent as he clearly did no research before buying.

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

Friends are confused, as they know I am into cars so should of known better. Neighbours think I work minimum wage.

Would you buy this car again and why?

There is nothing that could happen on gods earth to convince me to ever buy another one of these wrecks under any circumstances.

What are you likely to buy next?

Something economical, comfortable, capable of acceleration, that has basic features and I am not ashamed to admit I drive.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£2,900

When did you buy the car?

April 2015

Did you get a good deal and why?

They gave me a ludicrously low price for my last car, found any excuse to lower the quote, and the list price was insane. A dealer clearly targeted at the clueless.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I was forced to buy something ''sensible'' by the wife.

What was the dealer like?

A good friendly manner, but a renowned rip off merchant.

What's it like to drive?

Slow and unresponsive. You can't have any fun; the wheel arch grinds against the tire under any sort of exciting cornering. Is not nearly as fuel efficient as is made out, 30MPG on a motorway, 20MPG during normal driving. There is an enormous blind spots on the front sides that make visibility on winding county lanes none existent.

What's it like to park?

It's a small car, incredibly easy. Lucky it doesn't have the sort of blind spots on the back as it does on the front.

Have you had any problems with the car?

What hasn't. If it is electrical, it has broke, no exaggeration. It manages to blow through an exhaust every couple of months. Door leaks. Wipers deform when a small breeze passes over them. Central locking only works from one angle. The vents never blow cold air.

What's most practical about your car?

Credit were its due, the rear seat arrangement (Sliding/Cupholders) is very handy.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

It has electric windows, that's handy. When they work. Which they never do.
