Why buy a used Vauxhall Adam?

The Vauxhall Adam is the brand's answer to cute city cars like the Fiat 500 and Mini Hatchback. That means it has a dinky footprint that's easy to squeeze into tight parking spots, but also has attractive details and designs to lift it above other budget-friendly cars. You'll find big-car features as you move up the range like faux-leather upholstery and a fully featured infotainment system.

Popular Vauxhall Adam trims for sale at Motorpoint

Newer Adams come in Jam, Energised and Griffin trims. Before 2019, these were known as Jam, Glam and Slam. Jam includes 16-inch alloy wheels, air con, cruise control, a leather steering wheel, and Bluetooth connectivity.

Energised adds 17-inch alloys, sports suspension, a contrast-coloured black roof, part-faux-leather upholstery and an infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Griffin sits at the top of the range, with unique paint colour options, Griffin-branded floor mats and a built-in sat nav for the infotainment system.

Owning a used Vauxhall Adam

A used Adam is a great choice if you're looking for a car mainly for city and suburban driving, and only carry occasional passengers. What it loses in practicality over larger cars, it gains in charm with lots of little details to make it feel more special than cars like the Vauxhall Corsa and Vauxhall Viva. Running costs should be very low, with a minimal appetite for fuel and low insurance rates.

Other models you may be interested in

As mentioned, you might want to cross-shop the Adam against city cars like the Fiat 500 and Mini Hatchback. You could also consider models like the Toyota Aygo or Aygo X, Suzuki Ignis, Volkswagen Up, Kia Picanto, Hyundai i10 or Renault Zoe.

Vauxhall Adam FAQs

The Vauxhall Adam comes in just one form only, as a tiny, three-door hatchback. You'll spot the occasional special edition such as the Adam Rocks with mini-SUV styling or the Adam S with a hot-hatch aping look, but the fundamental recipe remains the same across all these cars.

If you fancy a city car around the same size as an Adam but with a greater focus on practicality, its sibling the Vauxhall Viva offers a little more space for the money. Alternatively, cars like the Fiat 500 aim to scratch a similar itch as the dinky Adam.

The Adam is small, very small. In fact, it's one of the smallest cars on sale that still – just about – has four seats.

It measures just less than 3.7 metres long and just under two metres wide including the door mirrors. That puts it within a few millimetres of the Fiat 500, Toyota Aygo and Kia Picanto.

Inevitably, being small outside means the Adam is small inside. Adults can sit happily in the front but the two back seats are really small and best saved for very short trips. The boot can handle handbags or shopping bags, but anything larger will see you folding the rear seats down.
