Vauxhall Adam Slam 1.4 (2013) UK CAR review

Ollie Kew, 01 May 2013 11:00

CAR first drove the Vauxhall Adam earlier this year, but that was a European-spec car on Portugese roads. The Adam copped a lot of stick for its ride and handling – which Vauxhall promised would be retuned for discerning British tastes (and shoddy British roads) on UK models. We’ve driven the sporty 1.4 ‘Slam’ model to see if the changes ...

Vauxhall Adam 1.4 (2013) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 08 November 2012 09:00

Vauxhall has just launched the new Adam city car, GM Europe's take on the Fiat 500 and Mini quasi-premium city car set. Here's our first drive review of the new 2013 Vauxhall Adam. With a name like that, it's all about being bold, funky and different - and trying just a little bit too hard if you ask us. Adam ...

Vauxhall Insignia VXR (2009) UK CAR review

Chris Chilton, 31 July 2009 09:59

What’s this, has the VXR brand gone all sensible? Depends on how sensible you class a 321bhp family saloon that hits 60mph in 5.6sec and could top 170mph were it not for the killjoy limiter. But yes, the hottest Insignia is certainly more visually restrained than the usual VXR offerings and signals Vauxhall’s desire to make this particular VXR appeal ...

Vauxhall Astra 1.6T (2009) CAR review

Phil McNamara, 10 July 2009 11:30

Vauxhall’s current Astra grew up as a middling car in the middle of Vauxhall’s range. The conservative styling and drab interior didn’t help, and dynamically the fifth-gen Astra lacked the dynamic poise of its peers because of its beam rear axle. Now there’s a sixth-generation Astra – still lacking an independent rear suspension set-up – but with an Insignia-inspired interior ...

Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer 1.6T (2009) CAR review

3.5

Glen Waddington, 15 June 2009 10:00

The Vectra estate majored on space but looked as sexy as a stack of bottle crates. The Insignia hatch and saloon have turned their backs on the functional nature of the old Vectra, and the new Sports Tourer does the same to such an extent that Vauxhall couldn’t bring itself to label it an estate. But if it’s now sexy, ...

Vauxhall Corsa VXR Arctic Edition (2009) CAR review

Stephen Worthy, 30 April 2009 15:10

The Corsa VXR isn’t the subtlest of hot superminis at the best of times, although now it’s just got lairier, mainly due to an exhaust that will have the neighbours’ curtains twitching whenever you drive by. But can you live with a car that’s not so much in your face as in your ears? What’s the difference between the Arctic ...

Vauxhall Insignia 2.8 V6 4x4 (2008) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 30 October 2008 11:17

Twenty minutes into a vigorous hoon in this 2.8-litre V6 powered, four-wheel drive flagship of the new Vauxhall Insignia range, all I could think of was pub grub. No, the launch proceedings food was perfectly fine, thank you… after a plenty-of-added-Austrian-lard fashion. It simply struck me that, these days, there’s a surprising parity between tavern nosh and this much diminished ...

Vauxhall Agila 1.2 (2008) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 22 February 2008 11:53

Gone is the felled phonebox look of the old Agila. Here is the newest, smallest member of Vauxhall’s ‘monocab’ family, slotting below the Meriva and Zafira and offering a budget-conscious, utility-focused baby sibling to the Corsa. But haven’t we seen it before? I thought the Agila looked familiar… Certainly does. That’s because the new Agila is really a rebadged Suzuki Splash. Sheet ...

Vauxhall Corsa 1.6 SRi (2007) CAR review

2.5

Richard Aucock, 11 December 2007 11:23

Vauxhall has revived the boy racer’s machine of choice. But rather than Nova SR, it's now called Corsa SRi, and you can even get a diesel. But we've got the turbocharged car on test, with a detuned version of the Corsa VXR's engine. Just think, in eight years times the streets will be lined with lots of white SRis. Hang ...

Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 (2006) CAR review

2.5

Angus Fitton, 21 August 2006 00:01

Give me the lowdown This is the all-new Corsa, a car Vauxhall vows will banish the Corsa's traditional reputation of being pretty but underwhelming. It's longer and wider than today's car and weighs a little more, but some models cost a little less and in 200bhp, turbocharged VXR trim it will be the fastest Corsa ever. The Corsa has a ...
