Vauxhall Insignia reviews

Purchased the vehicle as an ex demonstrator GM managers car. Excellent in all aspects as long as you are not concerned about fuel economy as it is thirsty by anyone's standard at 32mpg - 40mpg on a long run.The consumption is the greatest and only disappointment. Really comfortable to drive and effortless overtaking capability with the turbo kicking in. Would not want if people needed the back on a regular basis as the coupe makes their vision limited and a little claustrophobic.

vehicle is now four years old .I have owned it for just over twelve months and have found it to be one of the best, if not the best car i have owned.Have had top of the range company cars from all european manufacturers for many years before retiring. Reliable no problems to date, economical for a large car over 40mpg on local running around and 50mpg to 55mpg plus on long runs driving at legal speed limits.performance very good,seating comfortable and plenty of luggage space.

Great looking car and performs well generally. Unfortunately I have had a number of problems on this car, namely on my third set of rear brakes at 38000 miles down to electric handbrake design, coolant leak due to faulty Pressure Cap, Coil set and plugs replaced at 40,000 miles, And now temperature and crankshaft sensors replaced at 41,000 miles. What next!!!! I would like to think that my experience was down to a Monday morning or Friday afternoon car.

perfectly capable repmobile as a company car. I went for the SRi NAV, more sporty seats and trim plus 18in alloys which looked nice till i scraped them on a kerb ( twice) performance is fine, pulls well once above 2500rpm, but long gear ratios so sometimes have to change down. at cruising speed long gear ratios deliver good smooth and quiet ride at low revs and good mpg. overall 49mpg after 2yrs motoring which is good for a car of this size.

Excellent motorway vehicle.....is not as well equipped as similar ford model but styling is very good....initially thought the interior was cheap looking but have got used to it, and now think it's quite good....performance and economy is very good although suspension on the SRi VX range is a bit harsh in town and city driving but my next car will be an insignia with a higher specification....unless I can afford an Audi.

this car has 36000 miles on the clock, it's not yet 3 years old and it's already had a new gear box, cooling system, (going back in next week for a 2nd), break pads, 4 new tyres (and it needs 2 more already) . It is very heavy on petrol , about 45 miles per £10.00 and loud when driving, sound insulation is poor. The large boot and relatively comfortable seats and space are not enough to save this monstrosity.

A visually and ergonomically well designed car.Performs best over motorway driving but less so in town driving. Sluggish on uphill driving. A heavy car in relation to its engine size. The Insignia can carry up to 5 passengers. The back seats fold down easily to accommodate bulky items for transportation. Economical on petrol on motorway driving. Thirstier on town driving.Comfortable on driver and passenger seats.

A large, fairly quick comfortable car. Cheap servicing from main dealers. At it's best on motorways but can be hustled along on A roads if required. This is the first auto car I have ever had and I would never go back to a manual. Mine is the top of the range Elite model with added Bluetooth which for some reason isn't standard, but everything else is. I have had no problems so far.

I've owned this car 5 months and it's been reliable so far. It is an excellent cruiser and eats up the miles,the seats and driving position are comfortable and there is space for five plus luggage.downside its a little bit thirstier than I thought it would be, although I have had the air con on constantly also Vauxhall service costs can be eye watering

I was initially pleased with the car, as comfort and performance appeared good. The biggest problem is that the quoted fuel consumption figures are impossible to meet. I do not necessarily blame GM, but the European agency that insist on these methods of testing. These figures should relate to actual journeys performed by real people.

Compared to other hatchbacks I've had before of similar size and same engine size I find this one a bit sluggish. You certainly can't get away quickly so it won't get you out of a tricky situation. But for a long motorway drive it is comfortable and performs well. Good size boot but not as big as the vectra I had before.

Great as a car but useless as an estate as roof slopes down at entrance to load space and internal trim reduces width of load space by a very significant amount considering the external width of the car. Did the design team not know what is meant by an estate, or is that is why they call it a tourer and not an estate?

A very cost efficient car that is comfortable and great to drive. I am semi retired and use my car to travel to various destinations around the country for my work. Providing I stick to the speed limits the fuel returns are excellent which is what i require. I am totally happy with the car in all aspects.

Bought second hand 1 year ago to replace an Omega. Been very good and reliable. generally travel close to home but also towed a caravan down to Italy in the summer with no problems. Both as a tow car and a touring car, it went really well and its fuel efficiency is very good for the size of the car.

It is a great car. Only problem I have is the price of tyres and CD for Sat Navigation for Europe are very expensive. Don't like being told by main dealers during 50,000mile service that disks need changing when they do not. Fed up with this on going rip off by all main agents not just Vauxhall

A relationship with a car is the same as a relationship with a spouse. Contentment is paramount. Running costs will never be the best but if all other considerations are then you have what you want. This car is one that I am truly content with. My ratings above tell everything there is to say.

I am very pleased with the car but do feel that it lack power for its size and the engine is very noisy for a petrol engine, it sounds very like a diesel engine. The car is also fitted with low profile tyres which I think are very costly to replace and completely unnecessay on most car.

I find it adequate for my needs as my children live 60 & 260 miles from me in opposite directions so boot space is good long distance driving is reasonably relaxed full consumption is a little on the high side I have on a maintenance contract at present which makes service costs bearable

Overall I am very pleased with the Insigna, it has been the first diesel engine car that I have owned. The only issue I do have is that being over 6ft I need to have my seat back some distancemaking the leg room behind my seat somewhat restricted for the passenger in the rear seat.
