Overall rating 4.5/5The Vauxhall Viva is a simple, reliable city car designed for drivers who prioritise value, easy driving and comfort in a compact size. Revived in 2015 as a five-door hatchback, it ran until 2019 and replaced the Vauxhall Agila as the brand’s entry-level choice. It is easy to live with, especially compared to rivals like the Kia Picanto, Hyundai i10 and Ford Ka. All Vivas use a 1.0-litre petrol engine with straightforward equipment, low running costs and brisk steering, making it a favourite for practical, fuss-free driving within an accessible budget.
