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. Despite its hatchback body, it's styled more like a sporty coupé than a family car and there's a massive range of engines and trims to choose from – plus a flagship VXR model with 321bhp and four-wheel drive.
