"The popular Vauxhall Adam is proof many buyers prefer the personalization and style over functionality and comfort."
Vauxhall Adam is a small three-door, with the Fiat 500, DS 3 and MINI hatchback competes. Like all these cars that Adam is geared to young customers (if the research is, it is assumed) increasingly for cars that can be personalized to their tastes.
This is making life difficult for carmakers, the enormous face development costs and safety criteria, if their cars in impersonal factories mass production. to solve In the search for this contradiction provides the Adam than 80,000 internal and 60,000 external combinations - although most of them are cosmetic options. It seems that researchers right, but were, as Adam was a sales success for Vauxhall. In fact, the numbers sold, where, it is statistically unlikely that two identical Adams exist.
While Adam certainly is a sleek, customizable and modern cars, it does make some compromises. Chief among these are a tiny boat, narrow rear seats, uncomfortable suspension and the lack of a diesel option. If you are willing to overlook these problems, but the style of Adam and perceived personality clearly hold enough appeal to many weigh.

, the engine range of Adam begins with a 1.2-liter petrol, which only produces 69bhp and supplies to increase to 53.3mpg 57.6mpg if you go for the stop-start option. It costs just £ 30 per year in road tax with stop-start, but without meaning to higher CO2 emissions, you will face a £ 110 annual accounts. We would avoid this engine if you can, but -. Especially because of its 0-62mph time of 14.9 seconds makes the traffic battle keep
The next two engines are 1.4-liter petrol, producing either 86 or 99bhp. Both return 52.3mpg and costs £ 110 per year tax, although the optional start-stop system fuel consumption slightly increased and the road tax to £ 30 While these engines a little faster than the entry-level 1.2-liter , they are hardly swift. 0-62mph 11.5 and 12.5 seconds, depending on whether you go the more or less powerful option for each
the best engine in the range is a modern three-cylinder turbo 113bhp 1.0 liter petrol. You will spend £ 2,000 or so, especially if you wish, but it is the most efficient choice in the field, 56.5mpg return and costs just £ 20 per year in road tax. Despite its small size, is its modern design, it performs better than the other, 0-62mph achieved in 9.9 seconds.
at the top of the motor tree sitting is the 148bhp 1.4-liter petrol engine of the supercharged Adam S. This ensures lively performance (0-62mph takes 8.5 seconds), but you are more than £ 17,000 to spend, when you want it. A Ford Fiesta ST is better to drive faster and only about £ 300 more expensive -. And if you walk to entrain with personalization options, a £ 20,000 Adam S is a very real possibility
in the open street, disappointed the Adam. The three entry-level engines are slow, the steering is overly light and the suspension is unforgiving, so that the car and its occupants uncomfortable to bounce over potholes. There is better news in the city, though, where the limited performance of the car is less visible and the light direction is a positive, rather than a disadvantage.
inside Stepping is a modern and pleasant designed interior, good quality plastic is built with. Front passengers get a good amount of head and legroom, but the rear seats are tight. They are for smaller children in order, but the smooth outside sees limited scope definition, while someone sitting behind a larger adult her legs uncomfortably find Crushed. The 170-liter boot is similarly compromised and less than the Fiat 500 is, let alone more traditional hatchbacks. "

Although Adam indication, a be lengthy process, the three core trim levels are relatively simple. Entry-level Jam cars come with 16-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, DAB radio, Bluetooth connectivity and cruise control. Moving to Glam about £ 1,400 costs and adds upgraded air conditioning , a (fixed) sunroof and LED running lights, while the top-spec Slam 17-inch alloy wheels, has a sport suspension, Vauxhall OnStar assistance service (the same as a wi-fi hotspot) and a contrast roof color by default. If the 1.0-liter gasoline engine, then this is not available, while the Adam S gets its own high-spec trim level with Jam and Glam models.
Apart from these regulations, there are also a series of Special Edition Adams. If you want a chunkier-looking car, Rocks models have raised a ride height and pronounced bumpers, while the Rocks Air on this package adds a folding fabric roof. Unlimited Cars to ask every single personalization option available (as the name implies), while Adam Energised adds a black roof, larger alloy wheels and LED lights running on the entry-level car Slam.
All these specifications offer many more customization options, including interior and roof colors and outer body graphics. One way we recommend is the infotainment touch screen, which is inexpensive and works well. If all this gets a little confusing, Vauxhall online tool has to choose a selection of preconfigured trim and color combinations for you and then change as you wish.
The Adam has a good reputation for reliability, 64th comes from 150 cars in our 2016 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey. Safety NCAP is OK and is not exceptional, but because of a four instead of five stars from Euro.
