468 Used Vauxhall ADAM cars for sale

The most popular engine is the 1.2-litre option that outputs 69bhp. As the lowest-rated engine, it is the cheapest way to drive the Adam, though there's more than enough power for everyday city navigation.

Vauxhall offered the Adam in seven trim levels: Jam, Glam, Slam, Energised, Griffin, Rocks and S Air. The Jam is the most popular in the used market because of its low price and decent equipment. In second place is the Energised, which offers a strong balance of features and value.

The Vauxhall Adam is one of the most customisable city vehicles around, having been available with three roof colours, 12 exterior paints, 31 different alloy wheel designs and various upgrades when it was new. For that reason, it's challenging to find two Adams on the used market that look exactly alike.

Because of the three-door design and smaller back seats, the Vauxhall Adam doesn't make the perfect family vehicle for longer trips. Small children can fit in the back for short distances, but it's ideally used for shopping trips and school runs rather than for family holidays.

Vauxhall did not make a hybrid Adam. Instead, it has been offered with a variety of petrol engines. The most efficient option is the 1.0-litre turbo ecoFLEX engine that arrived later in the lineup. It produces 113bhp and is capable of 57mpg.

Vauxhall did make an automatic transmission for the Adam, but it's only paired with the 1.4-litre engine that outputs 85bhp. Badged as Easytronic, automatic examples of the Adam are very rare on the used market, but they can be found if you look hard enough.

No, Vauxhall did not make the Adam with four-wheel drive. All models came with front-wheel drive, which is common in this segment. Because the Adam is mainly used for city driving, all-wheel drive capability is not essential.
