Vauxhall Zafira Tourer 2.0 CDTi 130 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 06 October 2011 18:00

Vauxhall is replacing the Zafira with the new Zafira Tourer - and it also isn't. Eh? What's with the new Vauxhall Zafira Tourer? Well, the new Zafira Tourer you see here will be in addition to today's Zafira MPV. Rather like Renault with the Clio, Vauxhall plans to sell both old and new concurrently. The thinking is it'll give GM a ...

Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 SE (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 26 May 2011 09:30

Vauxhall's Corsa is oft forgotten as Ford's Fiesta is a sweeter drive, the cabin quality of Volkswagen's Polo is peerless, and the likes of Hyundai offer better value and better warranties – ­hence the reason Vauxhall launched its 100,000-mile warranty last year to compete with Koreans. However, while the Fiesta topped the UK sales chart in 2010 (103,013 sold), the Corsa was ...

Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer 1.4T (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 29 March 2011 11:30

This is the Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer, the big-booted version of the Griffin's family hatch. It's the second Astra model (joining the five-door hatch) while there's also a three-door GTC on the way later in 2011. Read on for CAR's first drive review of the new Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer. Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer – an Opel in all but brandname? ...

Vauxhall Meriva 1.4T SE (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 13 April 2010 14:32

The last Vauxhall Meriva was a charmless, if effective, little box. The new one looks great, but is there more substance to it than those rear suicide doors? Is this the first mini MPV that you’re not embarrassed to be seen in? Could well be. We thought that Kia’s Venga (or at least the show car that previewed it) was ...

Vauxhall Ampera plug-in hybrid (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Oliver, 27 August 2009 09:37

The Vauxhall Ampera – also known as the Opel Ampera and best known as the Chevrolet Volt – is, according to one General Motors insider, ‘the most important car the company has ever built’.  So our first chance to drive it is a significant event, even if it is just a test mule with the Ampera’s powertrain fitted to a ...

Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst S (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 07 May 2009 16:06

If any car has a claim to be the spiritual successor to the knockout Lotus Carlton, it’s the new Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst S special edition. GM’s back might be firmly up against the wall as it struggles to reinvent itself in a global recession, but the Bathurst S shows its Australian and European divisions still know how to serve up ...

Vauxhall VXR8 facelift (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 17 September 2008 09:00

It might have only been launched a year ago, but the Australian-built Vauxhall VXR8 has already been upgraded. The big news is the new LS3 engine. Seems the 6.0-litre V8 LS2 was a bit weedy at 411bhp and 405lb ft, so the LS3 takes its place with a newly swollen 6.2 litres of Aussie muscle. The VXR8 isn't exactly in ...

Vauxhall Astra VXR Nurburgring (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Oliver, 09 June 2008 09:00

The new Vauxhall Astra VXR Nurburgring Edition costs over £1500 more than the standard – and already excellent – VXR. The changes seem limited to some new wheels and tyres, another 15bhp and endless Nurburgring badging that reflects the obsession that carmakers – and some car magazines – have with the lengthy, lethal German racetrack. Is the Astra VXR Nurburgring ...

Vauxhall VXR8 Carbon (2008) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Jonny Smith, 17 March 2008 11:07

For when (if?) a 530bhp supercharged Vauxhall VXR8 isn’t enough, UK V8 gurus Wortec bring you this 600+ bhp 600 lb ft monster; the Carbon Edition. Let the tyre torture begin… This VXR8 Carbon Edition looks a bit tough This is the VXR8 brought to you by the creators of the Monaro VXR500 - Wortec. Put simply, the Carbon Edition offers ...
