Opel Adam:
This is Opel Adam was named after the founder of Opel, Adam Opel
Exterior Styling and features:
It definitely looks more modern and detailed than the Fiat 500 as the Opel Adam now gets xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights. The rear lights also looks very futuristic because it really looks like the Citroen DS Survolt which is Citroen's concept car which means that the Opel Adam looks very futuristic. The rear lights look like:
You can also choose whatever colour you like for example, I want yellow rims or other things. You can also customize the car however you like which is actually a very nice feature for the Opel Adam. You can also customize the colour of the roof of the Opel Adam which means if you want a white roof, you can tell them "I want a white roof." then, they will paint your roof white. The Adam Swing Top also gives you an open-air experience. So, if you like your hair flying up, then, you should get the roof which can give you an open-air experience. The Opel Adam is good for bringing your friends to Genting Highland to have fun if you buy the model with the roof that can open which is the Adam Swing Top version. If you just need a car that can just can bring you to work, then, the Jam, Slam, or Glam version should be good enough for you because the Opel Adam is very easy to park if you work in the city.
Interior features and styling:
The interior is the same story as the exterior. It is very detailed and you can also customize the interior's gear knob, steering wheel and trims in the car. You will also get Auto Park which is a very nice feature if you have found a parking space. You will also not have to steer the car yourself when the car is in auto park which means that the steering wheel will steer automatically. You will also get a touch screen audio system in the center console which you can store your apps and other types of features. Just like the cars these days, you have voice control in the Opel Adam which is a very nice feature because if you are driving and you need to call someone, you can use the voice control to do it. In my opinion, even a celebrity would drive in this type of car because it can express their personality.
Pricing:
For all the equiptment that you get in the Opel Adam, the price only adds up to SGD 103,888 for the 1.4 L Easytronic model. However, So, in my opinion, this is a very good buy. However,
Volkswagen Polo:
Exterior styling and features:
As you can see, the Polo is definitely not as cute as the Opel Adam but it is just a bigger car than the Opel Adam. It just looks more modern than the Opel Adam because of the rims which is more stylish than the Opel Adam. However, it is definitely not as fun as the Opel Adam because you can choose what colour you like on the Opel Adam to suit your personality while for the Volkswagen Polo, the colour that you choose does not always match your personality. For the exterior of the Volkswagen Polo, you will get LED daytime running lights and headlights which really look nice on the car when you drive down the road. Both cars have fog lights but the Opel Adam's fog lights have more of a 4x4 styling to it while the Volkswagen Polo's fog lights have more of a modern car design to it.
Interior styling and features:
The new Volkswagen Polo has the Volkswagen Golf Mk 7 DNA because the touch screen audio system in the middle looks like the Volkswagen Golf Mk 7. You will also get an automatic air-condition remote control which is a very nice feature for the Volkswagen Polo. However, in my opinion, the dashboard of the Volkswagen Polo looks very boring because there is many plastic parts in it which makes the dashboard look very outdated. Volkswagen should step up on their built quality of the Polo by addding wood trim at the passenger seat part of the dashboard.
Pricing:
For the original price of the 1.2 TSI with the DSG transmission is SGD 98,900 while they have a promotion with the car only costing SGD 97,400 which is about SGD 1,500.
Is the Opel Adam better than the new Volkswagen Polo?:
The answer is yes. It is better than the Volkswagen Polo because the Opel Adam has the autopark feature which is a feature that a car that small never had before.
