Vauxhall Agila review - What Car?

[@s.leochapman417]

The first generation was not very desirable, but this second generation (which never sold well, at least here in Ireland) was really underrated. The Opel version was better styled than the Suzuki. I think it's better than a lot of contemporary city cars.

[@matthighley1461]

Loving my mk1 1.0 agila. Sure it doesn't look amazing, it's basic and boxy, but I like that. She does the job and is so big for a 1 litre

[@reuben3694]

They’ve essentially concluded that it does everything it should to a decent-good degree but it costs a little bit extra. Honestly I’d go for the splash, well I have one, it’s got stability control as standard on every model and 6 airbags as standard.

[@timmie426]

The sound well... Okay it is a bit annoying sometimes but all these tiny things as the rev counter and that sound make it a bit more unique. Doesn't drive bad at all and is pretty peppy with the 1.2; while for example the 1.2 Corsa is terribly slow. (Drove both)

[@Oggiwara1]

My Opel Agila 2012 model have no annoying blinker noise. And ESP is standard here in Norway.

[@Lifeisinapotato]

When I was younger with this car, I would make beats in my head using the indicator beep.

[@hobsholelane06]

My 2011 model doesnt have the bip bop indicator noise.

[@Lore_tta]

This car is the best thing for City. Love it. I read some of the comments below, about the noise the Car has/makes and ... You guys have really problems!!!

[@paulkavanaghk]

I have the 1 litre model it's very good on petrol and can reach 70/80 mph with no fuss whatever so why would it struggle on the motorway?

[@nedson6503]

1.2 takes an agonising 11+ seconds just to reach 60mph.

[@paulkavanaghk]

@@nedson6503 There not quick off the blocks bit once up and running their fine after all there not built as a hot hatch, just under 100 mph tops for the one litre model is good enough!!

[@nedson6503]

@@paulkavanaghk I had a 1.6 110hp car It really struggled with 70mph to 60 back to 70.

[@stephh5047]

I have the 1.2 but it struggles to even reach 70 on the motorway unless its downhill

[@1962Dove]

I bought a AGILA 1.2 SE Auto 2013 four days ago. For my daughter and me, not more than 5,000 per year, it is a good car. Very soft to drive, comfortable. I like it. My only surprise is that they don´t have automatic lights? Am I wrong? Do I need to switch lights manually!!!!!! every single night?

[@hasan_z]

Yes

My gf has that car from Opel and its terrible. I worked on many many cars but that one gave me the most pain. Yes it has much space and is pretty economic when it comes to gas. But there are so many technical and design flaws. Cant change the light bulbs in the front lights without disassembling the whole front and removing the headlights. Reverse gear is super sticky since they used wrong gears, the gearbox makes rattling noises, the clutch is super unresponsive. After all, its still just a Opel. =D Most reliable thing is the engine since its a suzuki.

[@Whatsth3b1g1d3a]

My drivers ed car (Ford Fusion) had that. People were fighting with each other over it.

[@reuben3694]

I’m sorry but this is a complete copy to the splash, I’m serious it’s literally the exact same thing, down to the dials and gear stick cover.

[@vasilisskarlatopoulos9051]

Actually its the same car.The two companies design it together.i bought it for my wife its not bad for what it is.

[@bbyng7316]

Sure, geddoverit.

[@messin1000]

only the 1.2i is available now

[@stephenriley3195]

there cheap to run and easy to fix not like other cars all this stupied fancy stuff that goes faulty

[@colinbignall7036]

Good comments, I’m picking one up this weekend, second hand with 82000 on the clock £895, bargain

[@2mnyshp]

that blinker, THAT FUCKING BLINKER. whenever i drive this car i don't blink sometimes because of that fucking blinker

[@bbyng7316]

I do a disco dance to mine. Take a chill pill?

[@2mnyshp]

@@bbyng7316 It was my mother's and I sold it a year ago! It really was a pretty good car with a lot of cargo space for it's size.

[@kevinpicur7739]

I just bought an Opel Agila 2009 1.0 petrol version,and the clutch is very hard and strange...it has a problem???or thats normal for this car???

[@SuperRedshark1]

The clutch on my 1.2 is as good as any other car I've owned. In wet weather when pressing the clutch for the first time that day there is a slight shudder from it due to the damp, but it is fine immediately after that first use.

[@LRS905]

Funny how they keep pounding on that Bip Bop Bip Bop Bip Bop from the indicators, lol...

[@muhammedansar116]

[@bbyng7316]

Ideal for 6'4" blokes because the seat and area above your bonce feels more like a van than a car. See the Richard Hammond review where the poor little midget wonders what all the extra head room is for? 🤣😂🤣

[@woolvesv]

My mum bought the 2008 version of this car and I'm not a fan at all. Very clunky. You can hear all the clickings of the lights coming on, even the lights at the back of the car.

[@waynedome148]

Exactly the same as a splash,

[@stefanorunnertube]

yeah theres not autmatic =(((

[@WinWindowS.K.Julian]

Guys believe me... this car sucks... Greetings, a Young Man driving his grandma‘s car

[@escfxp]

Have you considered you might suck rather than the car? And why are you driving your grandmother's car?

[@WinWindowS.K.Julian]

@@escfxp because at the time i just got my license and she doesnt drive anymore so it made sense for me to drive a car that isnt very valuable. And i have driven other cars before and since. the clutch on All of them is no where near as sticky as on the agila, same goes for the steering. Its OK if you cant afford anything else unlike me

[@fimbulwinter-outdoor]

@@escfxp He is right tho. The car is technically so messed up on so many levels. Strange clutch, strange rattling noises in the gearbox (known issue), bad reverse gears since they used wrong gears for that. Best thing in that car is the engine since its a suzuki. If you want something that has space and is cheap on gas but makes zero fun, then get this car.

[@bbyng7316]

There are certain known things that go wrong on the Vauxhall Agila Design 1.2, e.g. it needs a new gear box at c. 50,000 miles. Fix them all and you have a great, cheap and roomy car ideally suited for a 6'4" bloke. The seat can be angled flat like a van seat. That means it's much better for your back. I am more comfy in this car than any other. Sure the I side is a bit plasticity but who TF cares?!?
