PROS Cheap to buy Easy to drive Excellently equipped Low running costs Replacing the Agila as the entry-point in the range, this tall, five-door hatchback is the Vauxhall Viva, slotting below the recently-revised Corsa and funkier Adam in the firm's line-up. What is it? Retro small cars have proved popular for years – you only need to stand on a street corner for a few minutes to see several Fiat 500s and MINIs. Instead of using the design of a much-loved older model to inspire a new one, Vauxhall's dusted off the Viva badge, last used in 1979 for its newcomer. Elsewhere in Europe, the Opel version will be called Karl. As similarities go, Vivas of old were no-nonsense, spacious family cars, as is the latest model to bear the name, with five seats in its compact bodywork, and as such it doesn't compete directly with the chic Fiat and MINI. Instead Vauxhall is attempting to lure buyers away from the likes of Dacia's Sandero, Kia's Picanto and Ford's Ka. 12V power point front, 15" Structure Wheel, 3x3 point rear seatbelts, 4 speakers, 60/40 split folding rear seat, ABS, Body coloured bumpers, Body coloured door handles, Body coloured door mirrors, Body coloured rear spoiler, Chrome effect bar on front grille, City assist mode for power steering, Cornering brake control (CBC), Cornering front fog lights, Cruise control + speed limiter, Daytime running lights, Driver/Front Passenger airbags, Driver/passenger sunvisors with ticket holders + vanity mirrors, EBD + Brake Assist, Electric front windows, Electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors, Emergency brake assist, Engine immobiliser, ESP + traction control, Exterior temperature gauge, Front and rear curtain airbags, Front cupholders x 2, Front door pockets, Front seatbelt pretensioners with force limiters, Front side airbags, Heated rear windscreen, Height adjustable front/rear head restraints, Hill start assist, Instrument panel light dimmer, Isofix system on outer rear seats, Jet black fascia, Lights on warning,
