Vauxhall Agila (2000-2007) Buying Guide
      Pictures shown may not represent exact model specified
|
by Richard Dredge The Agila may have appealed to few people of working age, but in many ways it's a car that makes a lot of sense - especially as a used buy. In reality this is little more than a rebadged Suzuki Wagon-R, with Vauxhall's own engines - but not necessarily any the worse for that. With a spacious cabin, strong reliability, easy entry and exit plus a Vauxhall dealer in every town, the Agila is an easy car to own. |
