Since the width is small, the rear seats are only suitable for two adults or three children. The legroom in these places is not great and neither could be much higher but Opel has used a system of sliding rear seats lengthwise (like a Renault Twingo or a Toyota Yaris), as these are placed in a very delayed (This solution does a sliding rear seat that could have served to expand the capacity of the trunk when not in use the rear seats).

The gearbox is standard five-speed manual anyway. The more powerful petrol can also carry an optional automatic gearbox for four. The gear lever is close to the steering wheel which facilitates its use.
The most powerful gasoline engine has a CO2 emission of 140 g / km. The Opel Agila with less powerful engines (diesel and 75 petrol 65 hp) emission is 120 g / km, which are exempt from road tax.
