4 star review

 

The Insignia seems very good on handling, especially on high speed motorway cruising and takes corners very well when pushed. The engine is no more noisy than other engines. The driver’s side tweeter cover in the door keeps falling off and the left side wing mirror casing is not aligned and looks badly fitted, but the car has a solid feel to it and feels safe. I cannot say many bad things about it, apart from the fact that I am 6’ 2" tall and do get back pain when driving, which is why I am considering getting an Avensis; whilst not being the most sexy looking car it is soooo comfortable. I have just driven a loan 1.8 petrol Insignia and it is horribly underpowered and has no acceleration, so forget that one. One last thing, cars fitted with DPF’s now have appalling MPG, shame on you EU, which is contradictory because whilst filtering out diesel particles, they actually cause cars to use more fuel.
