Very small car by modern standards :p I. Any wait till some one bits the 1.6 vxr engine in em.

[deneil_gsi2000]

There's a vxr due soon apparently

[letvalva]

Mates just bought a bumped one to Vxr convert

[Marcusgeorge]

^^ tell him put the thread on here I wanted to do it it's just I would never have been able to afford haha

[jimbob-mcgrew]

have you swip-swapped the front end for a mk.2 there pickles ?

[blue_peg_16v]

Isn't the VCR version going to be a 1.4 turbo ?

[deneil_gsi2000]

Isn't the VCR version going to be a 1.4 turbo ?

Yup with around 140 brake

Sounds like old technology!

Hands up who got that...


As for the size of the Adam, as said, it is small for a modern car.
It is always going to be larger than a Nova. GR12 4 SURVIVING SERIOUS CRASHES

[craig green]

Cool & quirky little car imo. A neighbour has a Yellow one with Black acsents & roof. Looks really fetching I think.
It needs an Irmscher/Steinmetz grille as usual.

[L14MNP]

They're too much of a combination of robbed styling from other cars for me to like them.

If I wanted a quirky little hatch, I would have a DS3. Probs a bit bigger though. lol

[craig green]

It is based on the same platform as the Fiat 500 which is quite plain to see.

Yeah. Has bits of Mini/500/Ka/Pug/Citroen in it.
You name it, it's visible in that car.

[craig green]

I think all modern cars look like they are from the same designers pencil. Most stuff seems to follow the bulbus looks that Audi pioneered a couple years ago. That & the chiselled flanks that BMW used. Isnt the Adam available with about 1million options or something silly like that? It should mean there are planty of unique example about, though that Yellow one I mentioned is already proving popular.

[ben doodar]

Personally i think its one of the worst looking cars vauxhall have made. If not one of the worst looking cars available to buy in today's market.

[Benn]

You've all missed the best bit.

You can get led stars in the headlining.... lol

[meritlover]

another droll euro-blob.

[Spudly]

I got it Liamnp, I expect its also got a 14" B&W tv in the dash lol

its the same with the proper 'Mini' and the BMW 'Maxi' replacement, park the two together and the difference is staggering!

But then park the new equivalents in a car park littered with other modern junk, and they look small, comparatively novas and minis are micro cars by today's standards!

[Stuart]

It's not quirky or cool enough to topple the mini (eeeeewwww) or 500, plus have you priced one up for even a minimum modern spec..... Got close to £20k without ticking the big boxes!!!


It's not the worst car in the Vauxhall lineup though, that accolade goes to the mokka.

[BRoadGhost]

New cars need to hit the treadmill

[marc69]

The latest fiat 500 must be bigger than an original landrover and the biggest type of mini (clearly bmw don't know what the word means) is fing massive.

Personally i find modern cars really boring, that woudl be why I drive Novas and REAL minis lol

Before I bought my redtop I was looking for a faster fun cheap track car than the 1.4, my mate suggested a subaru, now I really like them, they are fast, surprisingly refined and almost practical but, for me, just not the same type of fun as a Nova.

This is how sad I am, I rather my 29 year old 1.0 by miles to my mums 1.4 16v corsa, her car has no feel, loads of road noise and it is just dull.

[Stuart]

The mini countryman occupies more road than an original range rover lol

The current 500 is technically massive, but then all small cars are bar the up etc.
Being able to get 4 adults into a 500 easily is a guid to how big it is :)

[Southie]

I quite like the Adam, I just specked up one on the vauxhall site of the highest engine possible with loads of extras of how I'd like it and it came in at 16k lol

[PicklesSE8]

It is based on the same platform as the Fiat 500 which is quite plain to see.The Fiat shares the same platform as the new Ford Ka ;)

[craig green]

Personally i think its one of the worst looking cars vauxhall have made. If not one of the worst looking cars available to buy in today's market.

Oooh No, you are thinking of the new Vauxhall Combo van. THE UGLIEST vehicle ever.

[bazzap8389]

^ the front end of that looks horrendous.

[Stuart]

New corporate style.

Much like how all audis look the same and how all bmws look the same etc

[marc69]

looks like a peugeot that has been molded in jelly

[PicklesSE8]

Oooh No, you are thinking of the new Vauxhall Combo van. THE UGLIEST vehicle ever. Now that does share a platform with a Fiat :)

[BRoadGhost]

If looks could spell the end of a car company, that Vauxhall Combo would do it.
