The commitment to trying to open the boot is brilliant! LOL Excellent review. I'm test driving on Wednesday.

This is actually fun, I like this style of car reviews.

Great review as always. I am interested in this car as an alternative to my first pick CRV. Like you said, you don't see many of either around. I like that exclusivity!

You definitely make my day. I am looking for hire car and stuggling with how it fit to my luggage. Many thanks . Very good review /inf VDO

I like the design of this crossover its a little bit more understated and has nice lines ...

To get the boot kick to work there is a nice trick, you crawl under the car from the back and you emerge between the two front wheels, then it will work

Good review, feel your pain on the kick function. Had a Holden Claias (insignia) on hire in Australia. It had it too. Figured it out eventually, it shined a Holden logo on the ground, flick your foot over it and it worked every time. I miss that V6 ☹️

@@theodoratsourli4862 Hi, I am a proud owner of the Opel, Grandland X since 24th January 2020. It has been great drive. It will take some time to get use to the various gadgets in the SUV. The various systems in the car are useful and I sugest that you use avail yourself to them like lane assist etc. It is a safe car to drive with plenty of room. I would like to conclude by saying that, driving an Opel Brand creates an exclusive club among us because there are not many who own and drive Opel brand of car. Good luck.

U want to try a 1.2 petrol bloody quick frugal for size of car .

The glove box is useless because it's basically a 3008, so it's built in France and Peugeot don't reposition the fuse box to accommodate right hand drive countries

The 2.0 litre in the Commodore is 192kw or 257 bhp is stonking . I own one , it’s a rocket.

I own one of these, on the whole I like it, just one or two things (that do not impact on the running of the car) don’t work. 1. Stop start NEVER works 2. Automatic full bean headlights. I can drive nearly all the way to work and when it comes to an unlit lane the Auto system has gone off. 3.The heated steering shell has pealed. 4. Low voltage on off side indicator,when you indicate to turn right, the sat nav sends you to the nearest garage. Not covered by warranty 🙄.

I love your videos and sense of humour.

Is it expensive to run than the insignia

I love that Opel/Vauxhall stick to the real 6 speed automatic, I can't stand the CVT in Nissan

You’d have to define better. They will both do the same job in terms of space etc but there’s more luxurious touches in the Mazda (in GT spec anyway). I’d say the boot in the Mazda is bigger too but there’s a bit more rear leg room in the Opel.

Nobody knows or gives a toss about Vauxhall except the English with their silly ads stating how "British since 1903" the marque is. In Ireland the Opel ads have the tagline "wir leben autos" accentuating the German-ness of the products. You Brits are some idiots if you think the Vauxhall brand is even remotely British.
