Opel Adam review (12/06/2013)

I AM fond of smaller cars and delighted by increased number of manufacturers producing them. Judging by the sales of the Mini and the Fiat 500, it is no surprise to find other car makers are anxious to claim a share of this lucrative pie.

I mention these two cars they are different culturally from the run-of-the-mill city cars, such as the VW Up, the Fiat Panda, the Kia Picanto, the Seat Mii, the Hyundai i20 or the Skoda Citigo. Good and all as these are, they don’t have the individualisation of the Mini or the 500.

It’s a long time since Henry Ford advised potential clients that they could have their new Ford “in any colour as long as it is black,” but Mini and Fiat have made a lot of money making individualised cars.
