The VAUXHALL ADAM (2012-20) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4I TURBO SS 150 EU6 S 6SPD is a sporty, three-door city hatchback: compact and easy to park, but with a stronger performance focus than many small-car rivals. It suits urban driving and makes an appealing alternative to a Fiat 500 or MINI, especially for buyers wanting distinctive styling in a manageable size. Its 1.4-litre turbo engine, 150PS output and six-speed manual give the ADAM S lively acceleration and an engaging feel, while its small footprint keeps everyday trips simple. Bold personalisation and a quality cabin help it stand out from more ordinary city cars, though the three-door layout and limited rear space make it less practical than a larger hatchback. mycarcheck.com recorded 587 look-ups across 258 VINs; checks show average mileage of 43,000, about 6,000 yearly, 2.5 previous keepers and a £6,700 private-sale valuation, useful context when assessing examples before arranging a viewing.
