    Background I was lucky enough to have my 1.2 Urban Fox bought for me straight from the dealership. My family and I had spent some time searching round each of the manufacturers to find the perfect small car before I passed my driving test. We chose Volkswagen as our previous experience with their cars is very good. They have a reputation for being very good value for money and being very reliable. The salesperson at the dealership was very good, and gave us a very good price for the car that we were trading in. I chose my fox in bright red, just like my very first bicycle. When I received the ... more

    5 Stars It's a Fox 02/07/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, Easy to drive/park, Good storage for small car,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cheap looking interior, bit noisy over 40mph.

    After my 1987 Polo gave up on me I purchased this car brand new mainly due to the price. I have had this car for nearly a year now and have been very pleased with it. I paid roughly about £6500 with a £1500 deposit and then £99 a month for the next 3 years and then pay off the remanding amount (or pay another deposit for another new car and continue with a similar scheme). This also includes free yearly service for the first 3 years and breakdown recovery for the first year. Which although it is a brand new car I though was not bad value. The model I purchased was the basic 1.2 version without ... more

    5 Stars The Urban Fox 1.2 - non smoking car 14/10/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Nippy, responsive, economical on fuel about town. Cheaper car tax £115

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hard to move back seats to increase boot space. No cigarette lighter

    This is a cheap run around car with a VW engine - thus compared to the other "cheap" cars I think it will hold its price better then a micra or a clio. I've got the urban fox - the urban gives: electric windows - fold down seats - and moveable seats which the normal fox doesn't have - well worth the extra £600. I didn't bother with Air con as that is another £1000 and takes it out of the cheap car bracket. The seats in this are slightly higher up then a regular car which makes is easier to get in and out especially if you are a bit older and have achey legs. No cigarette lighter - basic ... more

    1 Star Hope you don't need replacement parts 01/05/2008
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Nice looking car, great for young and old

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Serious lack of availability of parts. Thought I was buying into VW superiority!

    Bought a1.2 Fox as a surprise Christmas present for my daughter in 2007 who was learning to drive. Delivered on time and took it to a friend's garage to wait for the big day. On Christmas Eve my husband drove it home (only the second time it had been driven) and noticed that the airbag light was on. Spoke to garage-no problem -return car on 16th January to be checked-bearing in mind that when the airbag light is on the airbag safety feature is disabled! That was the last time we had use of the car. The airbag and airbag harness were on a "backorder" until March, some 8 weeks later when despite ... more

    3 Stars Volkswagen Fox - not as foxy as it first seems 15/12/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages spacious, cheap to buy, nippy, easy to park and turn round.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages short seats, noisy engine, not as economical on petrol, strictly a 4 seater!

    I bought a Fox in April this year and so have 9 months motoring experience with it. The first thing that I would say is that in the main this is quite a good budget car to buy if you are not too tall. I'm not as convinced that it is as good on petrol as other cars in it's class having changed a Fiat Punto for it I found that the Fox was slightly worse in practice on petrol (or so it seems). With regard to space, the seating position is quite upright which means that there is plenty of leg room for both youself and the back seat passengers. It really is a bit like a tardis this little car ... more
