Vauxhall Signum 2.2 Design 5d (2004/53) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Ex Vauxhall fleet car with excellent Network Q backup. A little bit of haggling goes a long way when buying a Signum.
Costs
Reasonable economy for the size of car, especially on motorway cruises and with the display set to show instant consumption.

On the road
Driving
Pleasure to drive. Not the sportiest car in its class, but it's comfortable, roomy and adequately responsive.
Performance
Again, not the sportiest in class, but quick enough to take some people by surprise.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Battery terminal worked loose - AA Parole told me that was his 2nd one that day and happened a lot on these and Vectras. Apart from that - no problems.
Image
It's a Vauxhall, so no badge kudos here. However it attracts a lot of admiring attention due to its looks and relative scarcity.
Comfort
Very roomy and comfortable - especially for 2 rear seat passengers. Travel assistant is great. Fridge, extra cup holders and power outlets as well as aircraft style tables keeps the kids quiet.
-
Security and Service
Security
Alarm, Immobiliser, Remote window closure and central deadlocking. Enough to put off all but the most determined thieving scum.
Service
Pretty good on the whole, but don't expect the red carpet treatment.
