Volkswagen Fox 1.2 Urban Fox 3dr: Full Specification

Category: City Cars3.5 out of 5

Summary of the Volkswagen Fox 1.2 Urban Fox 3dr

Price: £7,795

Assets

Impressively roomy cabin, large boot space, excellent functionality, good engines, fun to drive, unpretentious and utilitarian.

Drawbacks

Cheap-feeling and dated cabin, staid styling, lack of character, no central rear seat, probably still not affordable enough to be a real budget 'world car'.

Verdict

It's a Volkswagen, no doubt about that, even if it feels like a Volkswagen from a decade or so ago and is a long way from being a genre-definer. Good basic transport and a decent drive nonetheless.
