Used Vauxhall ADAM for sale

What types of used Vauxhall Adam cars are there?

The Vauxhall Adam is a stylish supermini, slightly smaller than the Corsa, that’s a strict three-door only hatchback.

It has much groovier looks compared to most other Vauxhalls. It was on sale between 2013 and 2019 as the British brand’s answer to other stylish superminis, such as the DS 3.

It was claimed that a whopping 61,000 exterior combinations and 82,000 interior combinations were available – whether or not that’s true, it’s certain that few Adams on the roads will ever look alike.

What features does the Vauxhall Adam have?

A used Vauxhall Adam for sale should come with just about everything you’ll need for city motoring, such as air-con for the warm summer months and Bluetooth for music streaming.

It’s well worth finding one of the models with the upgraded seven-inch IntelliLink infotainment system, because you get access to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for all your music and mapping needs.

Other equipment you can expect to find on higher-spec models include cruise control and electronic climate control.

Is the Vauxhall Adam reliable?

Don’t be put off that the Vauxhall Adam was a limited-run car, because it shares many of its parts with the Corsa, so everything is tried and tested.

Mechanically, the Adam is a pretty simple car, so there’s not a lot that could go wrong. If it does, repairs and spare parts are usually on the affordable side.

How much does the Vauxhall Adam cost to run?

You can get a used Vauxhall Adam with a choice of 1.2- and 1.4-litre petrol engines, the latter with an optional turbocharger for more power.

They’re reasonably affordable to run and offer a good mix of performance for towns and motorways, but some rivals with smaller 1.0-litre engines might be more efficient.

Who is the Vauxhall Adam suitable for?

A younger, trendy demographic is best suited to a used Vauxhall Adam for sale, because it has sharp looks and affordable running costs.

It’s an excellent alternative to more established rivals like the DS 3, MINI Hatchback and Fiat 500, all of which offer similar levels of customisation.
