In that case, it seems, buy a Vauxhall ..........

As that is what you get now!

 

Vauxhall have improved since about 2004, the astra H was a good car (still is) the latest Insignia, corsa and astra are also very good, now you dont have GM USA giving them grief (europe was the only branch making cash!)
You could buy a Kia, or is it Hyundai? one of them gives you a 7 year warranty

The catch is it only covers the first owner

 

my little sister's corsa (58 plate) probably spends more time at the dealers than she has it!!

 

It's limited to 100,000 miles but it's still not a bad offer though.

Saying that I'm still not tempted to buy a new vauxhall.

 

Good for businesses though, our current Vectra's are on a 90k mile 3 year contract, but the last year is effectively warranty free due to the current 60k limit.

This would give another 12 months of cover.. well done GM

 

They must be desperate for sales to offer this. In my experience, the cars are pretty poor. Never owned one, but do work in the trade.

I expect they are banking on the average buyer only keeping the car for 3 years and it not costing them too much more. However, I can see people hanging on to them longer if they know they are covered. This could prove costly....

 

I've had some good Vauxhall's ..... my Cavalier and Calibra delivered value motoring (if not always 100% reliable) - they were cheap to fix though.

The new Astra looks great (in white) and the Insignia is a good drive ..... but, there were no discounts when I was looking 3 months ago!

 

The old (pre astra G, 10+ year old vectra's etc) were not magnificent, when you get to the astra H's (the last shape) they were a big step up from the Astra G's (never had any issues with either of my astra G vans, just a boost solenoid issue with my Astra H), the latest Astra's are outselling everything else in its class its even better than the H, and that was a good car.
Also had 2 vauxhall Omega's, both great with no issues, more reliable than those people I know with vw's for instance (another one of the guys at work has just had his TDI's gearbox rebuilt ) so vauxhall are not desperate to sell cars as they are selling themselves without any effort
