Is the Vauxhall Viva good family car?

The Vauxhall Viva isn't intended to be a family car. That being said, it's relatively simple to fit an ISOFIX child seat to the backseats. If you have just 1 kid, the Viva is definitely easy to live with.

Is the Vauxhall Viva safe to drive?

The Viva is a safe city car. It scored a 4 star (out of a maximum 5) Euro NCAP safety rating. City cars usually don't rate so highly, so this is impressive.

Is the Vauxhall Viva available as an electric or hybrid?

No. The Vauxhall Viva is only available with a petrol engine. As the Viva has been discontinued, this is the only possible engine you'll find.

Why buy a used Vauxhall Viva?

You might be fooled into thinking that the Vauxhall Viva is a relatively new car. However, the first iteration actually came in 1963 and was discontinued in 1979. Vauxhall recently resurrected the Viva, and it was for a good reason. The Viva is a brilliant little city car and has proven to be a popular choice for city commuters and first-time drivers. As you'd expect, Vauxhall has radically changed the shape of the original Viva and made it into a genuinely fantastic looking little car. Unfortunately, the Vauxhall Viva is no longer being manufactured by Vauxhall.
