CAR first drove the Vauxhall Adam earlier this year, but that was a European-spec car on Portugese roads. The Adam copped a lot of stick for its ride and handling – which Vauxhall promised would be retuned for discerning British tastes (and shoddy British roads) on UK models. We’ve driven the sporty 1.4 ‘Slam’ model to see if the changes have worked.
Tell me about the spec of the Adam test car
Specification is everything with the Adam – and that’s by design, not accident. Vauxhall claims there’s a million ways to personalise yours, with different colours, wheels, interior trims, stickers, accessories… and of course a choice of engines. Our test car had the middling unit: a 1.4-litre petrol four-cylinder with 85bhp and 96lb ft, mated to the only gearbox option: a five-speed manual.
So, to the spec. Our Adam ‘Slam’ – the sporty trimline – gets ‘I’ll Be Black’ (read: black) mirrors and roof as standard, plus climate control, a digital radio, Bluetooth, cruise control, six airbags, chrome trim, sports suspension, and 17in alloy wheels.
