Towards the end of 2015 I had the opportunity to do a review of the OPEL ADAM JAM XTREME PACK and here are my views on this lovely piece of machinery.
The new Opel ADAM is much more than a car - it’s a game changer! It redefines self-expression by letting you customise it to match you and your world. With so many possibilities, it’s undeniably unique in so many ways.

This brand new vehicle comes as a 3-door, 4-seat hatchback equipped with enough gadgets to drive any game changer to their knees. The powerful, image-focused, non-retro design makes a statement as bold as you are. 

That's the headline for the Opel Adam which I sourced from http://www.opel.co.za/ and it sums it up quite nicely.

This fun little vehicle is one of the latest offerings from Opel in the small passenger vehicle segment and from the looks of it, it was designed with the purpose of rivaling the likes of the Fiat 500, Citroen DS3 and Mini Cooper. Now as I said before I had the privilege of driving this beauty for a bit and when I decided to drive up to Worcester in the Western Cape, all that was left to be said was, Amazing.

The handling was impressive, the 1.0L turbo engine had no trouble towering up and around the slopes of the Du Toitskloof pass and it sliced through the wind with ease (for a smaller vehicle I was expecting the wind to really give it a run for its money but it performed well) Aerodynamics check!

The Adam Jam has an awesome little engine which pushes out 85kw and around 170 Nm of torque which really complements the size of the vehicle. The drive is exceptional but enough about that, its the designs that has got everyone talking. Well the reason for this is that it has so many choices on offer so you can customize it to the way you would want it to look and feel.

You have the choice of 8 different paint colours, funky interior roof linings, various dashboard designs and colours, unique coloured roof, seat trimmings etc, you have the freedom to personalise it to your own style.

I had the pleasure of driving this beauty around town on my 30th birthday and it made the occasion feel so much more special. Having never driven in a SUV before meant that I could tick this off the bucket list as well. Now it might not be the biggest SUV around but it sure has all the features which makes for a good SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle).


So I must say that all in all it was a smooth ride, the 1.4T engine really does the vehicle justice. The alloy rims give it a nice edge as does the roof racks, not to mention that cyclists can opt to have a bike rack as an add-on. The spacious interior is a huge plus for me too.

Myself and co- reviewer (Lee Henriques) really had fun doing this review, from waking up extra early, at the end of winter, to test heated seats, driving around scenic parts of Cape Town and learning the hard way about where to and where not to record in and around Cape Town. One thing that Lee went on and on about is the fact that the Mokka is the perfect road tripping vehicle. So I might just have to invest in getting myself one and experience more #mokkamoments.

If you are thinking about getting a new vehicle go on and give The Thorp Motor Group a call and test drive the Opel Mokka for yourself and remind them that I, VersatileLyle sent you!
