Advantages: Superb 3.0 litre diesel engine, fuel economy, performance
Disadvantages: Massive depreciation, cheap enterior, poor visibility

...How many of you, I wonder, share my opinion that the Signum, is a really rather odd kind of car. Certainly it is difficult to categorise, but maybe that was what Vauxhall were aiming for, a niche all of their own. For those of you not familiar with thi ...

Astra 1.7Dti Envoy - Excellent Economy

Advantages: Drives Nice, Great Economy, Cheap Tax, Cheap Insurance
Disadvantages: Not as quick as some.

2004 Astra 1.7 CDTi Sxi (Closest Category Found!)

Advantages: Space age looks (New Model 2004) Great Engine. Quality interior. Equipment

Beat the Chancellor (but not the boy racer)!

Advantages: Reliable, Extremely economical, practical and functional. ECO4, Low CO2 emissions
Disadvantages: Slow, slow, not so quick, slow! Plus what is that under the bonnet, a sewing machine?

I have run this car from new, supplied in May 2003, by the organisation I work for. Now covered 35k miles. I did expect it to be a decent car to drive as I was used to the old model Isusu engined 1.7 turbo diesel. Having spent 100k miles in that. A b ...
