Vauxhall Viva (2015-2019) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| A very affordable used buy | Many rivals are more practical |
| Easy to drive | So-so warranty offering |
| Decent equipment | Feels bland compared with many cars in the class |
Quick Summary
The Vauxhall Viva (2015-2019) is a five-door city car designed as an affordable alternative to larger superminis. With a new price of £7,995, it competed directly with the Ford Ka+, Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto, Toyota Aygo, Skoda Citigo, and Seat Mii. Despite its diminutive size, the Viva offers practical features including room for four adults, numerous storage points, and 60/40 split-folding rear seats. However, the boot is smaller than many rivals, offering 206 litres with rear seats in place and 1,013 litres when folded flat.
The Viva is easy to drive with light controls, composed ride, and safe, steady handling, though it lacks excitement. The 1.0-litre naturally aspirated three-cylinder petrol engine produces 74bhp and is quiet and smooth, but requires effort on higher-speed roads. Running costs are low, with official economy figures of 62.8mpg and CO2 emissions of 104g/km. The engine uses a timing chain, reducing maintenance costs, and servicing is required every 20,000 miles or one year. As a used prospect, the Viva represents excellent value, though it's best suited for around-town driving rather than longer journeys.
Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking an affordable city car, those needing a vehicle for short trips and urban driving, and drivers prioritising low running costs and easy manoeuvrability.
Not ideal for: Buyers requiring maximum practicality, those planning longer drives, or those seeking a more engaging driving experience or premium warranty coverage.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vauxhall Viva | 3/5 | 3.8/5 | 36.9% | 4.0/5 |
| Dacia Sandero | 3/5 | 4.8/5 | 37.5% | 4.1/5 |
| Suzuki Celerio | 3/5 | 4.3/5 | 38.1% | 4.0/5 |
| Hyundai i10 | 5/5 | 4.4/5 | 35.8% | 4.5/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the Viva if: You're on a tight budget, seeking an easy-to-drive city car for urban commuting and short trips, and prioritising low running costs and affordability.
Consider alternatives if: You require maximum practicality, plan longer drives, want a more engaging driving experience, or prefer superior warranty coverage.
Competitive Position: The Vauxhall Viva (2015-2019) is a sensible, budget-friendly city car that offers decent equipment and easy driveability. However, it faces stiff competition from more capable alternatives. The Dacia Sandero provides better value and practicality, the Suzuki Celerio comes with more standard equipment, and the Hyundai i10 offers superior driving dynamics and warranty coverage. As a used purchase, the Viva remains an excellent value proposition for buyers prioritising affordability over versatility, but those needing a more capable compact car should consider paying a premium for a more rounded alternative.
