The Fox's space! The 1.4 litre engine and the Fox's build quality. That VW badge!! Urban trim

Bad Points
Heavy rear seats - hard to fold. Options are expensive!!!

General Comments
1.4 engine has plenty of power. The quality is a cut above, especially against rivals like the Toyota Aygo and it is comfortable. The gearbox is good, direct and easy to use which makes it fun to drive. I chose the honeycomb cloth over the deckchair stripes and got it in uranium grey, which sounds dull, but looks great and doesn't show dirt. I had my Fox in 8 days! I have found my Fox to be practical, spacious and well put together. There's loads of space in the back for passengers which before the test drive I didn't expect. The 1.4 engine is strong, refined and can easily cope with motorways, without being noisy. It's quiet inside although sometimes a bit of wind noise can be heard, but not to so loud that it's really noticeable. It's also cheap to run. The equipment levels are good in the Urban Fox, although some options are expensive i.e. air-con £945.00! However I love my Fox. I've had no problems and would recommend it to anyone after a small car for everyday use. Its great value for money, especially for a Volkswagen!
