AnnoyingPentium Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 I don't see a Signum all too often anymore, but I saw this one the other day. I'd say get it bought.

Datsuncog Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 The Signum always seemed like such a weird punt for GM - I remember reading about it as a concept car around 1997, and also thinking it was an answer looking for a question. Then in 2003 up it popped, pretty much just like the original concept but now with more of a Vectra C style front end. I like that they exist, but I don't think I really want one...

Lankytim Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 14 hours ago, Dobloseven said: They seem to be an answer to a question no-one asked. They're basically a four seater on the longer Vectra estate wheelbase. I seem to remember TopGear magazine (or similar) said exactly the same thing when the Signum was launched. Anyway, £200? let us know how the collection goes.

Bren Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 The 2.2 is s steaming pile of turd. Timing chain problems, HPFP that lasts as long as a creme egg in our house, spun bearings. An utter dud like the isuzu V6 diesel. What are you waiting for? cobblers and tooSavvy 2
cobblers Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 As shit and pointless as any vauxhall in living memory (and that's quite some bar to cross). What a complete waste of development time and pages in the marketing brochure. But for £200.... Floatylight 1

Gets OK reviews: https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/cars/reviews/vauxhall/signum/executive-2003/22-design-direct/33899/ Blimey, that's quite lively. Back in the mid noughties, had an almost new Vectra estate, 1.8 petrol, bottom of the range in Doom blue as a credit hire car after a no fault accident and was quite taken with it. Looked into buying one. Would think a Signum would be very similar. Son in Wales seems interested as an upgrade from the Meriva he had off me last year. Told him it'd be like getting over the flu and then catching covid!

Dobloseven Posted April 12, 2022 Author Posted April 12, 2022 In proper Autoshite style, I gave him the money, collected the keys, 2 none the less, filled in the V5 that had arrived today and tried to get away while he sat me down and told me how sad he was to see it go and everything he'd had done to it. I haven't even looked at it from closer than ten feet away. Will pop down tonight and pick it up from his dads drive.
