Vauxhall Signum Elegance 2.0 tdi 2004

4 star review

Bought this second hand whilst looking in vain for a Ford Mondeo Estate, does the same job as far as I can see, but looks a lot more stylish I think. For a diesel it flys and cornering and ride are nice and ’flat’. The dash read out says it does great mpg too. More ’bells and whistles’ than the usual car and the rear seating IS more roomier than the front; wish I could sit there and let someone else drive! I’ve had to replace springs on front and rear offside, but that’s an unknown, previous, history. Also, after intermmitent sudden loss of power and ’choking’ of engine had the air mass unit changed, still does it now and again though, usually after a fuel stop, or being parked uphill(?) I suspect it has two fuel pumps, front and rear(?) and one hesitates, some times. Otherwise a great car so far, after a year or more, roomy, have even camped out in it with the seats flat at the rear, runs the motorways easily and nicely, good round town too, although not a great turning circle.

Vauxhall Signum 3.2 v6 elite 2004

5 star review

What an amazing motor,the Signum 3.2 v6 elite is roomy and very comfortable. It’s fast and well equipped plus it gives 28/30mpg overall and it looks the dogs b******s. I have owned Jaguar’s, BMW’s and Alpha’s plus a 3.7 Jeep. Would I swap my Signum for one of these? WOULD I HELL!

Vauxhall Signum 19dti Elegance 2004

3 star review

Having owned old but reliable cars for years I decided it was time to upgrade and opted for the Signum. Everything was fine until it reached 50,000 miles when the duel mass fly wheel went. It cost a small fortune to replace that and the clutch, having not owned a car in the last 30 years that’s ever broke a spring, this one had two replaced for the last MOT. I think I will go back to the old reliable cars.

Vauxhall Signum 2004

5 star review

This car was what I thought was going to be my best yet and at just over three years old I'm beginning to think I may have bought and old Vauxhall Viva or Chevette. At 28000 miles it's had a new timing chain, a new injector module, new rear arms and new rear shocks. It is now booked in to have the rear wheel bearings done and the door seals on the front two doors. I'm glad in a way I'm not paying for the work to be done but its costing me money every time it goes in for work to be done to hire cars for the duration of the work. Warranty people don't pay for hire cars! Anyway, other than all the work and all the money I pay out for hire cars it is a wonderful car to drive, a bit of a fuel drinker around town but on the motorways its a good 40 to 50 mpg at a steady 80 mph, shushhhhhhhh! Did I mention speeding then. Lol. Handles the road very good in all conditions and very roomy inside for all the family. One thing it does miss as a new car and that's the heated front screen.

Vauxhall Signum 2.2 DTi Design 2004

4 star review

I bought my Signum on the basis that I wanted a stylish vehicle providing practical and economic motoring. At 3 months old and with nearly £7000 off the list price this car promised to do all that. This was against all the professional pundits who rated it an odd-ball with mediocre driving appeal. But since most of us have to optimise our choice of car and are not seeking Top Gear approval this car is the best thing I have owned to date. Bearing in mind that Vauxhall with Signum probably began the current vogue of the luxury hatch-back, it has been under -acknowledged, in my opinion. In the turbo diesel mode with ’sports’ lowered suspension it provides a firm and stable ride,which can be pushed hard round country roads but is a great motorway cruiser, giving well above 45mpg to every tank -full. It is well built and gets envious comments from friends who like its quality feel. Its not an estate nor a limo but it is both flexible and roomy, for those who dont need the extremes of either, which lets face it, is an awful lot of us!
