Vauxhall is recognised by many drivers throughout the UK for its quality and style, and what better way to acknowledge this manufacturer's achievements then by awarding it with some of the most prestigious car awards around.

Every home in Britain has a cabinet that holds awards given to family members for winning a first place in a sports day event or a number one spot in a boating race. For Vauxhall, its head quarters must be exactly the same with cabinets filled to the brim of awards given to them for their excellent achievements.

To get an idea of just how far Vauxhall has come in the last hundred years, we at CoverGirl Car Insurance Services have decided to take a look at some of the most highly regarded awards given to Vauxhall in the last several years.

Car of the year for Vauxhall Corsa
At an award ceremony sponsored by the RAC earlier this year, Vauxhall won one of the greatest titles in the motor industry when its Corsa was named as Car of the Year. With 14 other potential winners, there was strong competition but the results clearly showed that many drivers appreciated the modern design and efficiency of the new Corsa.

Vauxhall's managing director, Bill Parfitt said, "We're delighted that the new Corsa has won this prestigious award. We all know we've got this car just right in every regard, and this is backed up by record order banks, as well as a fabulous performance in showrooms and in the press. The new Corsa is the best example yet of Vauxhall's revitalisation."

Vauxhall awarded five stars for high performance
In 2004, NCAP awarded Vauxhall with its highest possible rating of five stars for their Astra thanks to its excellent performance during front and side impact crash tests. Euro NCAP also stated that the Astra was one of the safest cars in its class, securing a high total of 34 points.

Some of the systems that made the Astra such a reliable vehicle and earn it such cheap car insurance rates include its rigid body with crash-boxes, the IDS chassis which includes ABS and the TCPlus traction control and ESPPlus.

Commenting on the successful news, Vauxhall's Chairman and Managing Director, Kevin Whale, said, "We are very pleased with this recognition of Vauxhall's commitment to safety management. However, our performance in the crash tests is only one part of our intensive development work in the area of safety."

Small Panel Van of the Year
Vauxhall has always guaranteed people cheaper car insurance and several years ago the car manufacturer had one of its vans, the Vivaro, awarded with the tile of Small Panel Van of the Year. The award ceremony, which was carried out by What Magazine? Had fierce competition but it was the Vivaro that customers liked for its reliability, comfort and value.

At the time, Vauxhall's brand manager, Jonathan Leicester, said, "Vivaro has gained an excellent reputation for itself in the medium van sector and along with a long wheelbase version now available alongside the popular SWB we are confident of seeing many more conquest sales."
