The VAUXHALL SIGNUM (2003-08) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0T ELITE is a spacious, upmarket five-door hatchback, sitting between mainstream family cars and executive models in the used-car market. Based on the Vectra, it offers an unusual alternative to saloons and estates, with a roomy cabin and distinctive long-bodied profile. Elite trim adds comfort. Its 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine gives the Signum livelier acceleration than many practical family hatchbacks, while the generous interior makes it well suited to longer journeys, couples or families wanting space without choosing an estate. Compared with more common Mondeo and Vectra rivals, it stands out for its less familiar shape and spacious rear passenger area. mycarcheck.com logs 17 checks across 10 VINs, a small snapshot.
