Vauxhall Zafira Tourer MPV (2011 – ) expert review
The Vauxhall Zafira Tourer scores points for being an attractive MPV with a very flexible seven-seat interior. It’s also refined and pleasant to drive, making it a worthy rival to the Ford S-MAX.

Vauxhall VXR8 GTS saloon (2011 – ) expert review

Vauxhall Insignia hatchback (2009 – ) expert review
The Vauxhall Insignia is well-designed and makes short work of distance driving, but has too many high CO2 engines and can't topple the Ford Mondeo.
Date added: Monday 15 November 2010.
Vauxhall Corsa hatchback (2006 – ) expert review
The Vauxhall Corsa is a three- or five-door supermini which rivals the Ford Fiesta. It has low running costs and is easy to drive, but it feels dated against more modern rivals.

Vauxhall Astra (2004-2009) used car guide
The medium-sized Vauxhall Astra hatchback and estate has been a family favourite since 1979, and makes a practical and affordable buy. The fifth version appeared in 2004 and was replaced in 2009, and is generally regarded as a big advance on its predecessors and good enough to compete favourably with its contemporary rivals, the Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf and Honda Civic.
