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 Insignia 2.0 CDTI (2008) CAR review and video

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 01 October 2008 00:01

The segment in which Vauxhall’s new Insignia must compete may be shrinking, but it still constitutes a handsome ten percent of the total market. Clearly, GM sees this as justification to throw the kitchen sink at the Insignia, equipping it with a raft of new toys that will simply never see the light of day in cooking versions set to mither the ...

Vauxhall Agila 1.2 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 CAR review

Anonymous, 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 Antara 2.0 TDi CAR review

Anonymous, 01 August 2007 01:10

A Vauxhall 4x4 is all well and good, but aren’t they a bit late to the party? Ignoring all the environemtal isssues for a moment, Luton is indeed very late to the segment – if you discount the Frontera. Toyota launched the Rav4 back in the early 1990s, and the compact 4x4 sector has grown phenomenally since. The Japanese (Toyota, ...

Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTi CAR review

Anonymous, 25 October 2006 08:02

What is it? It's Vauxhall's successor to the, er, Corsa. CAR Online has already driven the 1.4 petrol version, likely to be the most popular in the range, and now we're taking a look at the other sensible choice, the 1.3 CDTi diesel, yours for £9695. It comes in sporty three-door and frumpier five-door shapes and in Life and Club-, ...

Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 CAR review

Anonymous, 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 ...
