Good informative video as ever. Thanks Marek

You speak english very well. Keep up the good work!

You wonder what opel were thinking when they developed this car: they looked at the skoda octavia scout 4x4 and thought, let's make a slightly upmarket competitor to the skoda, but we make it a lot more expensive, a lot more heavy, slower, a lot less fuel efficient, and with less boot space. In the Netherlands we have additional tax depending on CO2 emissions, making a base price of 53000 for this opel vs 35000 for the more efficient skoda scout 4x4 tdi. Maybe opel won't even offer this version in the Netherlands, even VAG itself decided to not sell the VW Golf alltrack in the Netherlands because the Skoda Scout is the only sensible car of its kind for the Dutch market. Lack of snowy mountains also decreases demand for these cars I guess :)

True, the Netherlands is a very special market in terms of taxes, as well as lack of natural obstacles ;)

it would be cool if Buick could make this but Americans are allergic to wagons so i guess i will just dream.

+kurt roepke If you have too much money, you can always import one from Europe. Europeans keep importing American cars.

its crazy difficult to import a car that's not 25 years old .A new car like this would need to pass safety regulations because it is different its a wagon .

kurt roepke Seriously? Europe has pretty tough safety regulations, this is a GM product, and still it would have to undergo tests even as private import for a single buyer?

The more I watch opel reviews, the more it pushes me away from it. I mean, seriously, if you pay 30K for the car, you would expect the navigation to be excellent, or at least buttons to work properly. By the way, like always, great review! Thanks.

If they just improved build quility the mechanic of this car.

Unbelievable that Opel could not keep the weight down. Two tons is simply obese. Some competitiors do much better in that aspect (such as Mazda 6 diesel which weighs ca 600kg less)

unfortunately this brand of car is not launching in asia...by the way, it looks small at the back for a 180cm guy

I have 1.88 and it is small in the back (for a sedan) I don’t know how it is in a Station Wagon. ✌️

@@felixciumpileac9945 I'm 1.94 m and I am "stuck" in the stationwagon version on the backbench. Roof is too sloping, too low. I loved and drove Opel's predecessor model, the Vectra Stationwagon for over 13 years and could sit in the back reasonably comfortable. At least there was space above my head then, but this ? Nope. I went for a VW Passat Alltrack instead where you can still sit in the back when you're tall and have even more legroom than in the old Vectra Stationwagon ! Just like most SUVs, the Insignia squanders interior space in spite of being a large cars from the outside.

You should have washed the car before shooting this video, man... Thanks for the review though. :)

Taking into account the roads I had to take to get to this location, the car is spotless. But yes, today I would have given in a quick wipe, before recording. These were early days of my youtubing career. It was a weekend getaway, not a proper filming trip. These days I do filming trips, not weekend getaways :)

Yeah, i like the design, but overall its a shitty car. There are better alternatives for the same price.

Thanks for the presentation of this boring car. No off road qualities and slow like a old diesel golf.

Crap car hands down
