Seemingly the worst engine in the Vauxhall range is the 150cdti, which was what I had under the bonnet. I could bore you with all (alot!) that went wrong in just over 4 weeks of ownership but I shant. Suffice to say it limped back to the dealership as I realised that you should never buy your (realistic) dream car. My wife was rather pleased though as she hated the size of the thing, which I actually enjoyed. It's quite a bus. It's a very comfortable place to be when it's going and is rather quick for a big girl but was rather thirsty. The boot space was incredible plus I had intended to purchase the fridge unit which fits inbetween the two rear seats, yes, a fridge in your car. This car really had all of Vauxhalls ideas put into one car and it was nice but with high running costs and drastically bad relability I was glad to get my old car back and get my money back too. Unfortunately the more I researched the issues I came across, I found I was not the only one facing hefty repair bills for a diesel Vauxhall. The Signum was refreshing different and affordable to buy but some things are just too good to be true.
