The Uk’s best selling car: Vauxhall

Problems surround most areas of the car industry not least western production but it seems that General Motors reports of gloomy times may have been a slight over-exaggeration.

The Vauxhall was the number one selling brand in the UK this February. Even deep in recession the brand that relies on loyal Vauxhall buyers has seen advantaged on catering to their customers’ needs. Not only was it number one in February but it’s the second time in that position in the last three months.

One of the most popular cars in the range is the Astra. The latest model of Astra brings with it all the traditions combined with the latest style and engineering.
The plus points are its great handling, careful steering and some clever soundproofing. The inside of the car is spacious with electric windows and remote central locking as has every model of Astra. The inside of the car is spacious.

The only downside I could find was slightly irritating indicators that don’t always cancel.

The Astra is well known as a great family car and both the new version and older models live up to these expectations and make a great value purchase

Vauxhall Astra’s are usually very reliable but if you have an issue with yours, Megavaux has Vauxhall Astra Parts to help repair your vehicle.

Vauxhall Meriva and Zafira

The Vauxhall Meriva and Vauxhall Zafira, yes it is the car with the advertisement of those annoying children pretending to be dads. But, what this does is help to put across the idea that these are family cars.

Vauxhall research found that families spend longer in cars than at the dining table. So with the Vauxhall Meriva they’ve focused on creating comfort for families on the move in this compact mpv.

The Meriva is family focused; it has numerous features that make this a versatile family car. It is dual audio so you can listen to different music in the front and back of the car. The seats are in the style of a three person bench. The centre seat can fold down and be replaced by an optional storage box. The outer seats then can recline and turn in so you can play games across the centre seat. The rear seats fold flat to have 1,410 litres of luggage capacity. The car includes power pints so you can plug in a DVD player or games consoles for long journeys. The Meriva is family focused in the rear of the car but drivers have commented the pedals and steering are a bit light and the columns can restrict visibility.

The Zafira is great for when you need a little extra space as it is a seven seater. The back two seats fold flat when not in use for a roomy boot space. The Zafira doesn’t have quite the same function as the Meriva in the rear seat bench as it is one piece. The engine in the Zafira has plenty of power to move seven people when needed.

If your car is getting a little old and needs a few repairs Megavaux has a range of Vauxhall Zafira Parts or Vauxhall Meriva parts.

Vauxhall Tigra review

The last time a Tigra was released was in 2005 so now there is more of a demand for Vauxhall Tigra parts than the actual car itself. So what was a Vauxhall Tigra? Well for those that have had the pleasure of owning one, it’s a fairly efficient convertible.

This may sound like an oxymoron but most convertible owners keep them as weekend cars purely due to their fuel consumption. The Vauxhall Tigra is competitive and could be run as the main car as it runs on 50mpg.

This convertible also has the advantage of being a hard-top, it means the car is as secure as a normal car as soft tops are easier to break into. The roof only takes 20 seconds to fold electronically and has an option to manually put it down.

Vauxhall has been clever with this model, rather than follow other car manufacturers and attempt to cram two seats into the back of the car, Vauxhall has considered the practicality of this and the design is improved with this two seater design with a stylish wavy bars and extra storage that you don’t get when there are an extra two seats in the back.

In terms of driving, the Vauxhall Tigra is not a porche and may be beaten at the traffic lights by another smaller car but that’s not what the Tigra is about, the tigra has good handling and quite a bit of power. The Tigra is about affordable fun, it’s the convertible for people who want convertible and didn’t think they could afford them.

For those who own one of these Tigras now Megavaux has a range of Vauxhall Tigra parts

The Vauxhall Agila Review

The latest model of the Vauxhall Agila hit the market in spring 2008. It’s a year since the release of the new model. So, it’s about time we submitted it to a quick review.

The Vauxhall Agila is quintessentially a city car but in fact it’s a city car with a difference as it’s a small mpv. The Vauxhall Agila incorporates all the things you want from a city car; responsive handling, lively engine and low running costs. The mpv part means you can comfortably carry four adults without the lack of legroom you experience with most small cars.

The Vauxhall Agila has made an effort to lose the boxy design of its predecessor and this leads to a smoother finish and curvier appearance.

Some have criticised the Agila for its small boot space but the boot is fairly sizeable and almost twice the size of a similarly sized Toyota Aygo. The seats are slightly flat which can be a bit unnerving on corners but is fairly standard on budget cars.

All in all, this Car is great for everyday city use and those car sharing or kids won’t feel squashed with its roomy proportions. The newer model has the looks to make it more of a competitor to other good looking city cars.

The Vauxhall Agila range started in 2000, for those hanging on to the old Vauxhall Agila’s they can still take advantage of the space. If the car is having any trouble or needs any replacement parts then Megavaux has a range of Vauxhall Agila Parts for sale among its selection of Vauxhall car parts.
