Vauxhall is one of the most popular car brands across the UK, with famous models such as the Corsa, Viva and Astra – almost all of us at some point have owned, or know someone who owns a Vauxhall.
From family cars to first cars, Vauxhall have something for everyone and this is one of the main reasons that they are so popular across all ages and for all budgets. Have a browse of some of the Vauxhall cars available in Luton, and see for yourself what the hype for this well-established brand is about. Here are the top reasons which have made Vauxhall so popular with car owners:
Reliability
Vauxhall has a reputation for being reliable, and this is one of the main reasons which makes them so popular. Research has shown that compared to other well established brands, they sit comfortably above average in a reliability league table. There is no need to worry about longevity if you already own one or are considering buying one, as they can often do well over 100,000 miles without many issues. The Corsa and the Astra are your best bet for the most dependable Vauxhalls, comfortably sitting slightly over average in most rankings.
Cost
Vauxhall is well known and responsible for setting industry standard prices, with it being one of the top-selling automobile brands in the UK. These are generally always in the middle of the market, extremely close to Ford, its closest competitor. The Vauxhall Viva compact hatchback, which starts at roughly £8000, is the least expensive Vauxhall currently on sale, although with many buyers opting for second hand cars, you could easily pick up a good deal for your next motor at a dealership or private seller. The popularity of the majority of Vauxhall models puts them at a disadvantage when it comes to maintaining their value due to the law of supply and demand, so it is important that you calculate this into the depreciating costs.
Does it make a good used car
There are many benefits to buying a Vauxhall as a used car. The first being the cost, with low road tax and low insurance, they can be an affordable option as a first car. Often popular in the past with boys, they are growing in popularity with all genders and are becoming well established as a safe and reliable first motor. Not only are they affordable, but with so many of them on the market, they are easy to get your hands on – and you can expect to find some great deals. From eco models to electric cars, those that are concerned about their carbon footprint can also find the perfect vehicle, at a realistic price.
