Vauxhall: a brand for every use
American owned Vauxhall has been manufacturing cars in the UK since 1903, and has been the second largest car brand here for over 20 years. The history and tradition attached to the brand has become so important that plans to change it to the European ‘Opel’ have been shelved indefinitely by its US owners. And there are some fantastic Vauxhall deals out there available on a wide range of models, however you choose to finance your new car.
Vauxhall is known for the emphasis it places on practicality, and this is shown first and foremost in a range that caters for all possible uses and owners. The firm currently has 11 models on offer; from the supermini
Corsa to the family
Zafira, with everything in between and even a stunning sports outfit in the form of the new
Vauxhall VXR8 (which combines a sleek 5-door vehicle with a V8 engine).
As with the versatility of its selection, Vauxhall also has prices to suit most needs. Ranging from £7,700 to a more wallet-denting £49,500 without added extras, there are great Vauxhall deals to be found for every budget bracket.
Some of the new Vauxhall models, including the
Agila, have been criticised for their lack of style and overall body design, but this shouldn’t put you off. The Astra models are posing a threat to VW’s dominance in the
3-door speedster market, while the Insignia Tourer has defied those who think a big boot can’t mean a high-speed, stylish car. To top it off, the standard
Insignia model was named Top Gear’s ‘Exec Car of the Year’ in 2008.
For a reasonably priced vehicle with decent interior technology, sleek design and a capacity to handle just about every use you could think of, a new Vauxhall has got to be worth considering.
