Vauxhall Insignia Elite Auto 2.0 160 2011

5 star review

 

I bought mine from Evanshalshaw in January 2012 and the car is great. Full leather with heated seats. Automatic lights and washers. Satnav is a first for me and works great although I could do with a map update. So far the only issue has been with the climate control needing a software patch. All sorted now and very pleased with the ride, acceleration, brakes and general handling. Superb on the motorway where you get great fuel ecomomy; with mix or urban and motorway dirving I get 44mpg, much more on motorway driving and easily get over 500 mile out of a full tank.

Vauxhall Insignia ccti 2011

1 star review

Mine is a new company car. I picked it up with 19 miles on the clock and no fuel! I though oh well, new car, ok win win. I went to put fuel in and found out you have to remove the ignition key to open the flap. It wouldn’t start until 4 attemps later. I rang the garage who said "Oh it’s bedding in"! The stupid, stupid, stupid electric handbrake - I either roll into the car in front or behind, and setting off is not smooth. What the hell is wrong with a lever? The turning circle is rubbish and it handles like I am driving on ice, which makes setting off quickly to exit a junction near impossible. The door mirrors whistle when moving, to which vauxhall have said "turn up your stereo"! The seats - argh! I have an aching back after driving it for more than an hour or two. The fuel economy is rubbish and the CO2 is higher than my last car, so its costing me more for less. It feels vague to drive, and considering how big the thing is there is not much room inside. I would not recommend it at all!

Vauxhall Insignia ecoflex 160bhp exclusive 2011

1 star review

My car was delivered with 98 mileson it, brand new. Day 1 the service light came on so I went to the VX garage and was advised 2 sensors needed changing, but I had to wait for parts to come in stock. While waiting for a date to go back in the car went into limp mode and was basically un-drivable. The Car went into the garage and everything was fixed after 2 days, with an additional over boost valve changed also. The same day I collected it from the garage the service light came back on and so I took it straight back. After approx. 7 days I was told they couldn’t find the fault and the car is ok. They advised me to take the car back and continue driving with the service light on!!! The Vauxhall mechanic, however, argued with the service staff that the fault relates to a mechanical problem and that there must be something wrong, but it just hasn’t been found yet. My god what kind of customer service is this? How am I to tell the difference from the service light to a genuine fault on the car? No answer. I refused to drive the car even though I was told by Vauxhall that they wanted it removed from their premises. After almost a month I have been offered a demo car until they fix the issue, which they say is a software fault, but they have no idea when a fix will be available. On another email I’ve had they have contradicted themselves saying it’s an easy fix. If so why have the garage had it longer than I have had it, almost a month? Poor MPG, 39-41mpg on the eco flex stop start model, which I was advised was because it’s a new car. The oil seems to be burning at a rate of 1-2% per day, as the computer tells me it’s dropping. I noticed in 1st gear I sometimes get an extra boost of power even when my foot is off the gas causing the car to jump forward. The last Vauxhall I will ever own!
