For the people who have commented, this is my car. I love every minute driving it to and from work and especially going on long trips. The seats are super comfortable and I don’t have a bad back when I’ve been driving for long periods. As JJ mentioned the only thing that went wrong in around 60,000 miles was the adblue system and I can confirm that. Luckily I didn’t pay anything towards it as that system can be very expensive to replace. If you have one and the system fails, I’d recommend someone who can delete the system entirely. During MOT testing, they don’t check the adblue levels or anything, just the emissions but with the adblue solution applied it’ll trick the ecu to make the same emissions with the system working. Also great video JJ 😁

Same here from driving Vectras and an Insignia. Years ago I used to work away from home travelling 300 miles each way most weekends and although I liked the Mondeo it gave me a bad back no matter what I tried to adjust, I had to stop at least 3 or 4 times each way for a break, walk about, touch my toes, and by the end of the journey I was knackered. At the time I switched to a Vectra, it was really comfortable and a much more natural driving position, no back problems at all, it was an effortless cruiser on the motorway, no need to stop, could do the whole 300 mile journey in one go and still fresh as a daisy at the other end. Did 95,000 miles in a brand new petrol Vectra, it sailed through it's first MoT and only one fault, the exhaust back box, plus the front number plate the surface was delaminating and needed replacing, that was all. Then changed to a Vectra 1.9 CDTi 150bhp (predecessor of the 2.0 litre 163bhp and 168bhp engine), it was sweet as a nut and I did another 130k miles, sold it to a friend who did another 100k on it with nothing done to it, I then bought a nearly new (8 months old) 2.0 litre Insignia 163bhp with only 8k miles and currently 157k miles still going strong, and cruises at 67mph on the motorway with only feather touch on the accelerator and about 1800 revs in 6th gear (does 67mph at that) and still gets near 60mpg, I've had well over 800 miles from one tank (best 860 miles) usually in the summer but less in the winter (mpg seems slightly affected by temperature but still over 50mpg and usually still over 700 miles from one tank). On current car have only had to replace the solenoid waste actuator valve - when it failed acceleration became less smooth but cured by replacing it and which was quite cheap to replace. No issues at all, only had to replace scheduled components e.g. I had the timing belt replaced at 96k miles (scheduled at 100k miles) along with the water pump, plus usual tyres, brake pads, etc. Very comfortable and very reliable car, effortless on the motorway, will replace it with a Mk2 Insignia 2.0 litre 170 (168 bhp). PS when I had a parking bump and car in bodyshop to replace the bumper the insurance company gave me a so called "equivalent" as a courtesy car, a Nissan Qashqai, it was cramped inside and to drive it was awful with abysmal handling, it was like driving a postage stamp on stilts, absolutely tiny and a gutless wonder with zero power, you had to plan ahead about a fortnight to overtake anybody, when I got the Insignia back it was like driving a Lambourghini in comparison to the absolutely awful Qashqai, was so glad to get the Insignia back. Very underrated cars.

The reliability has been great and no issues. It was mapped around after the adblue situation so April 2022 and I’ve had 0 issues. I would definitely recommend but I’d shop around first before going ahead as this industry is full of scammers

I have the 170 hp Opel Isignia (Elite) Grand Sport and apart from the sunroof its has more extras than many other german brands. Been down to Spain, felt really good after a long drive because of the massage functions. Super quiet on NEXAN summer tyres, all through french motoways at 130 km returning 5,5L/100. The anti collision real does work - I had a lorry slam on his breaks and the car saved me from OMG a propbaly bad accident. At night the intellilux lights are amazing. Now in France many cities are charging extra parking fees for suv's and wacking extra tax on new suv's! Electricity prices nolonger capped, and 3-hour waits to motorways to charge your electric car! So...maybe a revival. I have always add extra product to stop crystalisation - main cause of adblue equipment failers. Get it serviced at my Opel dealership every year, did the timing chain and only had one recall I also like that its slightly understated. No need to keep up with the Jones when you have an Insignia B

I have a 2018 VX-Line Nav 136ps 1.6 diesel and I absolutely love it! I do around 30,000 miles a year on pretty much every kind of road we get in the UK, from motorways to mountain passes in the Lake District, and the car performs perfectly on all of them. Even though it's a big car it feels perfectly at home on smaller countryside roads and it's a super comfortable motorway cruiser, GM really did a great job on this version of the Insignia!

I picked mine up for 19.5k new, she's nearly 7 years old and no real faults apart from a throttle and infotainment issue. Simple interior, nice subtle white lighting and space even for me in the rear seats (6ft).

I’ve had mine now for 4,5 years, and today i just passed the 140k Mark. Mine is the newer one with the digital display and automatic gearbox, which takes this car to another level. To this day the car had not failed once. No errors, nothing! I’ve had several cars made In Germany, also from premium brands. I’ll tell you this; This is by far the most reliable car i ever owned. The seats (which is very important if you do 35k a year) are still the best I’ve tried so far, way better than my last car Audi A6. It runs very smooth and quiet. And i my opinion, this car stands out in the crowd. I nevet felt that In an Audi because there is so many People driving In the exact same car! The first car i ever owned, In 1988, was a Opel Manta B GSI. Man, i loved that car. Today the Insignia is my Manta. The Insignia has two downsides. If your looking for a car that is economical on fuel, forget the Insignia. It is a very big car. The other downside is, when the times come where you have to replace it with a new car. Right now, I would not know which car to replace it with? Certainly not a Tesla Y which is the most sold car In Denmark right now!

What you said about fuel is interesting. I almost bought the later Insignia but I am not through with my love affair with the first model and so just picked up a 2016 SRi Nav,, 2 litre diesel, 168hp. Done just over 2k miles already and averaged a genuine 61mpg... With £35 per year road tax, a huge boot, relatively fun to drive, steady as a rock on the motorway it still feels like a bit of a well kept secret.

I owned a Buick Regal TourX for 13 months (Vauxhall Insignia Country Tourer in the states) and I absolutely loved it. Reasonably performance, surprisingly good on gas (2.0T petrol), extremely comfortable, very spacious, and one of the most beautiful wagons imo. It also felt surreal that I was one of the only ppl in my state driving around in one of these. It’s estimated that only ~5000 TourXs were sold, making it quite a rare site

Hey, you're welcome!

Agree that they're underated cars... The US also got these badged as the Buick Regal I believe... In Australia, this was known as the ZB Commodore and copped a lot of hate, mostly to do with the iconic name being slapped on a FWD platform, as the 'Commodore' nameplate was used across many generations of RWD cars, with the option of a 6 cylinder as standard... As a result, the ZB sold poorly and parts are difficult to find, especially since Holden shut down... I personally believe that it was a great car, but Holden should've called it the "Insignia," though interestingly we got the previous generation for 1 year in VXR guise... The ZB in Australia was available with 2.0T, 2.0TD, and a 3.6 V6 all mated to automatic transmissions only...

True, it's always risky using a famous and well loved name on a car that doesn't strictly 'deserve it'. I'm thinking of that new Mustang Mach E, or that slew of Chevrolet badged Daewoos we were sold here a few years back. So you're right they probably should have called it the Insignia. I guess they were hoping the name would help sell a few more. I find it interesting they called a Holden a VXR, doesn't make too much sense. No 3.6 V6 over here which is a shame, but at least we got a manual option. Cheers Martin 👍

@@JJonCars You're pretty much right with those other examples... They used the VXR nameplate to give the car a more European image I guess, as previous Commodores had "SS" as the performance variant, and that nameplate was symbolic with the V8... We also got the Astra, Trax, Captiva and other cars from both Opel and Daewoo, though they were badged as Holden... The Opel products were better however they were plagued with reliability issues... Don't even get me started on the Daewoo products though- That was the beginning of the end...

My favourite ever cars (and ive owned over 30 cars) had 3 company insignias and had a couple of hire cars too. Never had an issue AT ALL in about 200k miles. One I took from 30k to over 140k and again NEVER missed a beat. Then I bought a lemon from a Vauxhall main dealer during Covid and it was a tatty refurbished car supposedly with just 40k miles but definitely felt clocked. Went back 3 times and on the third I told them to keep it. Took months to persuade them to take it back and in the end the finance company had to force them. In the market again but looking at the 2018 model this time, just hope it lives up to the others.

I bought mine Sports Tourer 2.0 170HP in 2017. Until now I've done ~91k miles driving down to south of Italy, France, Germany or Poland twice a year.

Had one 6 months, also mapped up to 211bhp 515NM, elite nav. It's a real wolf in sheep's clothing. And handles well. But you need good tyres. Dislikes no handle on boot to open Tyres are £250 a corner (20") Mpg worse than predecessor (thanks to AdBlue)

I had Opel Insignia sports tourer 2014, 2.0 Diesel, manual, drove it to 250 000 km (155 300miles), only had one problem with it, fuel pump in all those years/kilometers, sold it in 2023 and bought Opel Insignia Sports Tourer B 2020, 2.0 Diesel, automatic... I didn't even think about which car should I buy. For the money you can hardly get anything significantly better that that. Fuel consumption... well... it depends on your mood, tbh. I managed to drive 850 kilometers with around 66% of my tank (70 liter tank) in the older one, and new one likes diesel a bit more, but still it can manage that same 850 kilometers with a single tank (60 liters). On the other hand, if you drive it often (like 70% of time as I do) at speed that exceedes 180 km/h its fuel consumption easily goes up to 12-13 L/100 KM (19-20 mpg)... In the end, one of the best cars I've ever driven so far. Of course, there are better cars, but when you consider how much you have to pay for them compared to Insignia, imo, Insignia wins. adaptive cruise control, heated steering wheel, heated seats, driver seat massage, panorama roof, 360 camera, lane asist, self parking, intellilux, and many many other things that I would have to pay premium to get in some other cars...

Well not a chance kinda means it's 9-10 seconds at best, it's not actually that far off 7 seconds

@@novicetheaf Aye, with 200 hp it will 100% at least be in the 7's. 1.5 tons is still quite heavy, but don't forget it's an enormous car - think BMW 7 series length! My little ol' CLK is also 1.5 tons haha
