Vauxhall Insignia hatchback
reviewed by Carbuyer

When it was crowned European Car of the Year in 2009, Vauxhall boldly claimed the Insignia was good enough to rival executive favourites like the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. However, in reality, it's still more suited to those looking at the Ford Mondeo, Honda Accord and Citroen C5. Despite its hatchback body, it's styled more like a sporty coupe than a family car and there's a massive range of engines and trims to choose from – plus a flagship VXR Supersport model with 321bhp and four-wheel drive.
