What is it?

The Agila is Vauxhall's answer to the mini-MPV craze, and unlike the others, it actually looks OK. It's identical underneath to the Suzuki Splash, though there's no diesel here.


It's no track star obviously, but the steering is light and body roll and understeer kept under fairly tight control unless you're really pasting it. For pootling around town, it's zippy and fun.


You've got a 1.0 three-cylinder, which is slow to accelerate but can almost crack the ton, and a 1.2 which does the job pretty effectively. It doesn't have much Agila to shove along, so 90bhp is sufficient. You can even have an auto if you want to confine yourself to old-biddy-city.

On the inside

The cabin is made of cheap materials but they're well shaped so the sense of well-being inside is quite decent for the market. Reliability is good, and we trust the Suzuki factory in Hungary.

Few cars this small can get the people in so comfortably. The cabin has plenty of storage slots and a split-fold seat is standard. It's all pretty well thought-through. Main problem comes from that pertly truncated tail: when all seats are in use, the boot's a shoebox.


Low insurance, servicing, fuel and tax. This is why people buy new mini-cars isn't it? The Agila delivers on all counts.
