Volkswagen Fox (2006 - )  

More substantial than a Lupo. High seats. Roomy cabin seats four comfortably. Cheap.

Front screen pillars cause a large blindspot. Nonentity of a car.

Introduction

Latest update 22-3-2012: Apparent (not very believable) non-existence of replacement catalytic converters for 1.4s in France due to production of Fox having ended. Apparently, no fresh supplies until end of 2012. Cannot be true?
