Vauxhall car reviews

Until recently, it looked like Vauxhall might sever its 85-year connection with General Motors but it's now looking like its future still lies under the umbrella of the American giant. Vauxhall goes head-to-head with Ford in the charge to lead the sales charts in the UK but somehow it has never quite knocked Ford off its podium. 

Impressive new models such as the Insignia and new Astra give Vauxhall the opportunity to move the game on. Certainly the brand needs to improve its standing in the reliability and customer satisfaction tables.

Vauxhall Adam reviews

The Vauxhall Adam is the first city car developed entirely by Vauxhall, as its previous efforts have been rebadged Suzukis. It's a small three-door hatchback designed to compete with the Ford Ka and Fiat 500.

Vauxhall Agila reviews

The current Vauxhall Agila is the identical twin of the Suzuki Splash. Unlike the below-par first-generation Agila, which was based on the  Suzuki Wagon R+, the new one is a great all-round package. It's surprisingly roomy, easy to drive and has proved reliable so far.

Vauxhall Antara reviews

The Vauxhall Antara, launched in 2007, was a latecomer to the compact 4x4 party - and it hasn't exactly set the market on fire. While it has its strengths, it doesn't do anything spectacularly well, especially compared to talented rivals like the VW Tiguan and Ford Kuga.

Vauxhall Astra reviews

The Vauxhall Astra is a stalwart of the British car market - it first appeared on our roads in 1980. Ever-popular, it's now into its seventh generation and remains a strong rival for the Ford Focus and VW Golf. The current five-door Astra hatchback arrived in 2009; it was joined by a Sports Tourer estate in 2010 and a sporty two-door GTC in 2011.

Vauxhall Corsa reviews

Vauxhall's bread-and-butter Corsa has been on the UK's best-seller list for around 20 years. It remains a sales hit, even in the face of talented newer rivals like the Ford Fiesta and VW Polo. While the Corsa may not set owners' hearts on fire, it's a sensible, reliable supermini. 

Latest model: Vauxhall Corsa (2006-)

Vauxhall Insignia reviews

Large Vauxhalls have always represented great value-for-money - and the Insignia very much follows this story-line. It's offered in four-door saloon, five-door hatchback and Sports Tourer estate forms.

Vauxhall Meriva reviews

The Meriva is Vauxhall's entry-level MPV. While the first generation Meriva was quite small, the new one has grown in size and sprouted novel rear-hinging doors at the back for extra practicality. But can it match rivals like the Ford C-Max and Citroen C3 Picasso?

Latest model: Vauxhall Meriva (2010-)

Vauxhall Mokka reviews

Vauxhall has confirmed it will build a new compact SUV crossover called the Mokka. Squarely aimed at taking on Nissan’s Juke, it combines small-car dimensions with 4x4.

    Vauxhall Tigra 1

    The Vauxhall Tigra is a strict two-seater convertible with a clever folding steel hard-top to make it usable all year round. It really doesn't feel like a proper sports car to drive, though - it's based on the humble Vauxhall Corsa. The 1.8-litre petrol version offers the best performance.

    Vauxhall Vectra Estate 1

    Vauxhall has sold vast quantities of its Vectra over the years - and with good reason. The Vectra represents cheap, roomy, practical, comfortable family transport. It's a direct rival for the Ford Mondeo and was sold in hatchback, saloon and estate models.
