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 that offers buyers an affordable alternative to larger superminis. With a compact footprint and low purchase price, it competes directly with rivals such as the Ford Ka+, Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto, and Toyota Aygo. The Viva provides room for four adults, plenty of storage points, and 60/40 split-folding rear seats as standard. However, the boot is smaller than many competitors, offering 206 litres with rear seats in place and 1,013 litres when folded.
The Viva is easy to drive with light controls, a composed ride, and safe handling, though it lacks engaging dynamics. The 1.0-litre naturally aspirated three-cylinder petrol engine produces 74bhp and is quiet and smooth, though it 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 offers excellent value, though it may feel bland compared with some alternatives.
Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking an affordable city car for around-town driving and short trips, those prioritising low running costs, and drivers wanting decent equipment at a bargain price.
Not ideal for: Those needing a practical car for longer drives, buyers seeking engaging driving dynamics, or those wanting a comprehensive warranty offering.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vauxhall Viva | 3/5 | 3.8/5 | 29.5% | 3.9/5 |
| Dacia Sandero | 3/5 | 4.8/5 | 34.1% | 4.1/5 |
| Suzuki Celerio | 3/5 | 4.3/5 | 33.7% | 4.0/5 |
| Hyundai i10 | 5/5 | 4.4/5 | 36.1% | 4.5/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the Viva if: You're seeking an affordable city car for around-town driving and short trips, prioritising low running costs, or wanting decent equipment at a bargain price.
Consider alternatives if: You need a practical car for longer drives, desire engaging driving dynamics, or require a comprehensive warranty offering.
Competitive Position: The Vauxhall Viva (2015-2019) is a sensible budget option in the city car segment, offering excellent value and decent equipment. However, it faces stiff competition from more capable alternatives. The Dacia Sandero, Suzuki Celerio, and Hyundai i10 all score higher on CarGurus ratings and offer better user satisfaction. The Hyundai i10 particularly stands out with a 5/5 expert rating and superior overall rating of 4.5/5. For those willing to stretch their budget slightly, these rivals provide better practicality, more engaging driving experiences, and stronger warranty offerings, making them worthier investments for longer-term ownership.
