"The Opel Insignia is more like a sporty coupe as a family sedan, styled and while it has an upscale feel, it is not as practical as its main competitor, the Ford Mondeo. "

When a manufacturer for many years. in favor of a completely new car with a different name trenches, that is, she wants to make a statement That is exactly what happened with the Opel Insignia in 08 when it took over from the dreary Vauxhall Vectra as the flagship family sedan for the brand.

And if Insignia was voted 09 car of the year in the year, Vauxhall was to assert boldly enough, it was a real competitor for A4 saloons like the BMW 3 Series and Audi. Realistically, however, it is a competitor for a little more down-to-earth family cars like the Ford Mondeo and Skoda Superb.

The Insignia is a good car, but it does not set the world on fire, and it is not particularly good value, either. But it received a mid-life update in late 2013, always to increase start-stop technology efficiency. Plus, you can always get a good deal from a Vauxhall seller if you haggle

buyers can for the Insignia of three bodystyles choose -. Hatchback, sedan and Sports Tourer estate - and all are as VXR SuperSport high-performance models, also. The standard mileage hatchback body is more like a sporty coupe as a family car style, and there is a wide choice of engines and trim levels to choose from.

Vauxhall motors haul the best all versions of the Insignia (bar the very fast VXR) are running fairly cheap, but the 2.0 liter CDTi ecoFLEX with start-stop technology is the most efficient. Both the 118bhp and 138bhp versions of this engine returns 76.3mpg and have CO2 emissions of 99g / km, which is exempt from road tax.

As usual, the petrol engines are not as economical as diesels, but they are cheaper to buy, so you should consider how many kilometers do you do when deciding which one to go for. Steer clear of the 2.0-liter SIDI turbo diesel with an automatic transmission because it 186g / km CO2 pumps and supplies only 35.8mpg. Compare that with a BMW 320d, which is faster, better driving performance and -. Yet there is still more than 60mpg

Unfortunately, figures for the benefit VXR petrol model are worse, so you need deep pockets of his earth-shattering performance to enjoy on a regular basis.

motors, drive & Performance

3.2 / 5

good choice for regular long distances

cover

, the Insignia does not have the same driver charm and sense of fun you get with a Ford Mondeo, but it is still a decent choice for anyone who regularly drives for huge distances. The steering is on the light side, but the car feels solid and stable at high speeds, with a lot of grip on the go.

The extensive range of engines should something to offer just about anyone, beat with the top bid of-the-range VXR supermodel a top speed of 170 mph and 0-62mph in just 5.6 seconds , The mid-range diesel engines will suit the vast majority of buyers better -. The 128bhp 2.0-liter CDTi does 0-62mph in 10.4 seconds and has a lot of power for long motorway journeys

The interior is pretty impressive, too: it is easy to find a comfortable driving position in the supportive front seats. Also, the high gearlever a simple, easy shift action, the light work of gear changes.

Interior & Comfort

3.6 / 5

Headroom tight in the back is

the Insignia is comfortable enough, but it is not the most refined car by all means in its class. It is a good choice for long highway trips, with plenty of space for the driver and the passenger in the front. Rear legroom is good, but room back there is less impressive because of the sloping roofline of the car

Road, wind and tire noise are all suitably hushed at highway speeds and the suspension provides a smooth ride on most road surfaces. A word of warning, though: if you choose the larger alloy wheels on the SRi or VX-Line models, the car tends to potholes to throb and ruts in the road follow

And if comfort is really a tip , Priority, we would suggest to pay for adaptive Vauxhall FlexRide damping system more. This automatically tweaks the suspension, steering and gas, what driving conditions you encounter on the road, to fit.

practicality & trunk

3 / 5

access on the boat is good

with the rear seats in place, the Insignia a reasonable 530 liters of boot provides - a little bit more than a Ford Mondeo. This space is easily accessible thanks to a wide trunk opening and a simple to use hatchback tailgate. Fold the standard 60:40 split folding rear seats down and it is increased to 1470 liters.

Unfortunately, the boat is not completely flat bottom, so loading and carrying longer objects is harder than you'd think, and the Skoda Superb has a useful shaped boat. cubbies On the positive side, there are plenty of passenger space in the front, and with plenty of storage and a large glove box.

If you need more space, the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer Estate holding 540 liters (expanding to 1,530 liters with the seats down). As expected, the sedan is not as practical as the sedan, with significantly fewer seats down the trunk as the tailgate.

reliability and safety

3.3 / 5

The Insignia was the maximum five-star Euro NCAP safety score awarded

the Opel Insignia had a shocking appearance in the 2013 driver Power customer satisfaction survey crashes, 77 seats on the list of the Top 100 cars of the 98th rank. It debuted in 2011 to sixth place, then dropped to a reasonable 21 in 2012 cited reasons are poor performance, high operating costs, sub-standard workmanship and reliability disappointing.

This trend in Vauxhall's overall performance is reflected in the manufacturers ranking in the survey. It fell 13 places 26 from 32 in 2013 to come to that was considering disappointing

NCAP the most improved brand in 2012. In better news, the Insignia secured the maximum score of five stars in Euro crash safety tests. All models have six airbags and electronic stability control as standard. You can also add bright xenon headlamps (the steering follow to improve night visibility) and a tire pressure monitoring system.

price, price-performance ratio and options

3 / 5

avoid cars at the top and bottom of the range

you can and should always with a Vauxhall haggle dealers because they are very likely a decent discount to offer . That is all Insignia significantly better price-performance ratio, but note that the entry model does not have a lot of standard equipment. The least expensive ES and exclusive specifications have air conditioning and cruise control, but you have to manually back windows and plastic wheel trims instead alloy wheels.

The SRi, SE, ecoFLEX and Elite versions are all better served equipped, so it's really a case of the best balance of price and picking equipment to convert your budget and needs. Cars at the top end of the range are undeniably expensive and will very quickly lose a lot of value. If a decent resale price is a priority, then you would be better off looking at a Volkswagen Passat or Skoda Superb.
