Ive driven my fair share of Insinia's since its launch, And im impressed every time. Just love these cars , cannot wait for the next generation of Insignia.
Are they reliable?
@@DublinDan yes
@@DublinDan yeah they sre
What about the Vectra??
@@shanepatrick641 It's pretty much a Vectra but with a new shape. All good.
The Insignia looks great and seems to be more than practical enough.
I borrowed a 15 reg last year. It was a 2 litre diesel. Very nice car...quite powerful and pretty much full of goodies.
Thinking of upgrading my 65 plate Astra for an insignia estate
i want one of these so bad. they look nice and hopefully vauxhall have learnt lessons from previous models. interior looks gorgeous too. concerned about the rear seats having no headroom.
ive just got a 1.6cdti ecoflex sri after having the 1.6tdi highline passat for 3 years which was so underpowered i can honestly say am loving the insignias extra go!! and seems just as solidly built! certainly happy at just over a thousand miles!!
+al davies We're glad you're enjoying it! :)
I've loved the look of the Insignia ever since it first came out, and today I bought a 66-plate 2.0 CDTi Auto Elite Nav Sports Tourer. It's absolutely marvellous so far. Even on the optional 19" wheels, the ride is good. Maybe not in line with competitors, but it's all relative. Upgrading from a smaller car, I've noticed nothing but improvements! Headroom in the back in the Sports Tourer is also very good as it (naturally) does away with that sloping roofline. You also don't have that big load lip. The post-facelift navigation is also the same system as in the current generation of Vauxhalls. Speedy interface, excellent mapping, smooth frame-rate, Onstar, and Apple Car Play / Android Auto (which I've yet to try but will tomorrow!). Delighted with my purchase so far.

I'm in Australia and have a 2015 insignia vxr, it is an awesome car. Fully loaded with all the features and goes hard.
I have a white one and I want to get a black chrome grille and badges for it.
My dad got the Vauxhall Insignia SRI CDTI ecoflex 2015 model and we love it. Its similar to the Vauxhall Vectea SRI estate he had 15 years ago. He was skeptical about getting one as there's been mechanic's that have said they're a pain to maintaine but I think you should look for yourself and drive it before you rule it out. Ours doesn't have leather seats but it's extremely comfortable on long journey. I'm 6 foot 1 or 2 and headroom in the back doesn't affect me as there's loads of room. I call ours the Vectra Insignia naming it after it's predecessor.
Nicely filmed I can say as a broadcast cameraman. However the 'Bumps no longer shudder through your spine like the last model' erm? I've a MY2011 Insignia 2l 160 TDI SRi Nav estate and that's never been an issue! After a few hours of hand held camerawork can say the seats are as good as my previous Volvo V70 D5 SE MY2004 and the ride is as good. Ok not leather or heated but as good on a long journey which it does with ease. Good looking car, been very easy to live with, reliable, good dealer support, no rip off servicing with main dealer. Happy to buy another when I factor that all costs in, unlike Volvo.
Iv just brought an insignia elite it was the best buy i ever made great runner nice ride
im impressed with it ill be looking for the Gen 3 later.
I got a 2.0 vx line 140 a bit of turbo lag at low revs but good
Brilliant car, have had mine a year now elite model. So has all the bells and whistles. Just wish they would update the intellilink system like what's in the new Astra. Which I doubt they will do🙁
There is a tutorial on how to do it
so going to europe and have the choice of this or volvo v40 hatch...which is better?
Good looking, lots of kit. Hope it's reliable.
I bought a 2.0L Auto Desiel 168bhp Elite Nav 1 year ago. 104000 miles on a 14 plate. £5000.
Very nice car. Gets 40mpg. Plenty of go. Never feels under powered. Great spec. The drawing pad is pointless. Might work better if I was left handed or in a left hand drive car. Would have preferred a wheel. The info screen is very laggy but I can live with that. Only one issue so far. The lights are meant to raise up when going over 40mph and they do but not sometimes. Will get that looked at on it's service in a few weeks. It's the top spec in the UK but no reversing camera only sensors front and back. No keyless start or entry. No sunglasses compartment. No sunroof. No lane departure warning. No stop start. No HUD. No radar control cruise. No cooled seats. US car have all these extras. Sold over there, rebadged as Buick's.
Does have power (driver only) leather heated seats and steering wheel. Duel climate. Digital dash. Sat nav. Bluetooth. DAB radio. SD card for music option. Quiet. Huge boot. Good cupholders front and rear. Comfortable. Good mpg. Rides well. No rattles or creeks. Highly recommend.
How is it going still any problems with it ?
@@theheaterguyryan5052
Needed glow plugs replacing and a pipe going to the turbo split. Both threw up warning lights. Plugs the day before it was booked in for a service. The pipe went just after, so had to go back in. These 2 jobs with a service, gearbox service and mot £1400 at Vauxhall. They picked up and returned the car. The milage is just over 112000 so I can't complain.
Pads and disc will need doing soon.
Still loving it.
@@kb9072 thanks for reply l am thinking of buying a 2010 insignia estate would u recommend ?
@@theheaterguyryan5052
I can only speak of my experience, it's been a good one. I like a car fully loaded with kit so the Elite Nav with digital dash and heated steering wheel both extras is perfect for me.
For £5000 it's been a bargain. Not sure I could have got another car with so much kit for the age and mpg on a auto (not cvt or dual clutch) for the money.
Based on my experience would definitely recommend. Good luck.
@@theheaterguyryan5052
The 2010 is the pre face lift. I do know someone who bought a petrol one and had head gasket go. Major issue.
He looks about 16...
Nice review buddy
So, what's the name of the track at 1:58
What's the music behind, anyone?
How do u change the units to km
insignia 2016 on a 64 plate 🤔 next joke 😂 that said though, I've just upgraded from a 2016 corsa E 5dr to a 2016 insignia 2.0L cdti tech line due to the family growing. I had a shot of my uncles old 2011 insignia, good power but it handled like a bus. the facelift really got improved on the exterior and interior in my opinion. quite possibly the best looking car Vauxhall has done 🤷♂️
I have one 2013 model I love it
Im thinking of buying a 2013 model myself but a mechanic I know said they have really unreliable engines?..
23k my sri 1.6cdti ecoflex nav with parking sensors and metalic paint was!
Is this the Wirral
is this really a 2016 car? The number plate says 64 reg which is late 2014. Please clarify.
lol this is so funny it's 2016 now it means it's a recent review. in 2016 lol it don't say the car is 2016 but same.model since 2013
I love Vauxhall, they really make good cars.
If you love Vauxhall then you like Opel. Opel is the same as Vauxhall.
vauxhall cars have a lot of problems with there gearbox
Agi Koszka Opel bought Vauxhall and Buick, that's why there's this interchange of car titles
@@ghitaciprian not true all of those are owned by General Motors.
@@nicolasm_1200 I've had Vauxhalls for 40 years and have never had a problem with the gearbox, clutch or anything that's involved taking the cylinder head off.
This is the best family hatchback.
Accurate review
I'm 6ft 1 and there is no headroom in rear. Fine in estate version though
+pipcannon The Mondeo is no better, the price you pay for the sloping coupe styling which the estate doesn't have
In depends on how you sit
Why are you keep compering it to Octavia? They are not even in the same class.
Yes they are, Just look at the Octavia's bigger size and prices. The Skoda Rapid is now the Octavia of old.
How reliable are they. If the DPF goes your looking over 1k to get it fixed. Obviously get one that's under 10000k miles or if over make sure DPF has been done ✔
Under 10’000 miles?? 🤔
did he say returns 16 mpg
That would be 60. I've just picked up a 2016 SRI 2.0 diesel 160 bhp and over the 1200 miles I've covered I have averaged 61.7 mpg.
This vehicle had a 64 plate but was meant to be a 2016 review?? Surely you should have used a newer vehicle...
+Shakey Kumar The facelift became available in 2013 and is still current at 2016. As you will no doubt be aware the "64" plate covers late 2014 to early 2015. The 168bhp (badged as a 170) diesel became available in 2015 and is still current at 2016. The 64 plate car in this review is the same car you will see (if a 170 diesel) or test drive if you go into a Vauxhall showroom today, February 2016. The same reviewer has also reviewed the Insignia in previous years (don't think it was a 170) so I guess to distinguish they've used the review upload timeline of January 2016. Definitely current.
You filmed this review at Crosby Marian I live near there
Sure is 👍
That is such a coincidence!!
Perfect car for taxi 🤩🥳
And your dads wedding car
Too many distractions in new Audi ad. Drivers should have their eyes on the road!
Still prefer this than the new style ones
Isn't there a Insignia with 6.2L V8 engine?
No that’s the vxr8. Beautiful car.
WTF? a twelve year old Richard Hammond doing his first car review......
Can't be. He kept it on the road and the right way up!
I bet he's got a wealth of driving experience 😂
The Insignia is so sexy
Seallbay the Tech Enthusiast I have one myself and I love it
He mentions this car has 17" wheels.., I don't think they are...?. These are 18"..
You are not exactly tall. For an avarage person, the back seats are USELESS. You can't fit in there. There is just not enough headroom.
So this begs the question. What is this car good for? It's a 2 seater, that is bigger than most 5 seaters.
+ast5515 What are you transporting - GIRAFFE'S?!! Never had a problem, including tall passengers in the rear seats, even with 3 in the back, their comment to me was "loads of room".
SpeedKingHighwayStar I'm 5'10 FFS! I don't fit! I visited a showroom a month ago and tried it. I simply don't fit. And I'm hardly what you call a giraffe.
+ast5515 Haha LOL. No idea mate. Maybe try the Estate version, it doesn't have the coupe style sloping roof.
SpeedKingHighwayStar Sitting like people normally do results in OK-ish headroom. But try actually sitting straight.
And yes, the driver seat has enough headroom. But that's exactly the problem. You 2 seats where people fit. So it's a 2 seater, that's 4 meters 80 long. It's dumb.
SpeedKingHighwayStar Never said the Mondeo was better. In fact all sedans are terrible for this.
People normally don't sit straight, because they are weak. I can't really describe it any better. Muscle tone is supposed to keep your back straight without you thinking about it. In my case, that works, because I swim and carry heavy stuff. I don't consciously try and sit straight, I sit straight without thinking about it. And if I was any taller, it would be an issue with every car, but as I am, I only have trouble in sedans.
I prefer the Skoda Superb Estate
there is no excuse for such a big car not enough head room at the back. why would you get this car if you can't carry another 2 people. you would like to do a long journey, in the car like this, but it is impossible with 4 people. would never buy a big car with useless back seats.
+Sieras Dosk. I have the 13 plate model 2.0ltr Ecoflex, and I've done long journeys with 3 in the back with no complaints. The back slopes down to improve the drag, and can be a little tight in the back for us tall people, I'm 6 foot but can still sit in the back quite comfortably without to much discomfort. Not many people sit bolt upright when in a car on a long journey.
speak properly!!!!!
Сборка плохая этого корча
I prefer Ford Mondeo cars.
Had 2 of them , never again ! Utter utter garbage!! Everything broke on them , batteries died constantly on both , good handling but everything and I mean everything else was terrible
Oil burners and lower build quality
Vouch all really rips off Buick they keep stealing bricks designs
It's the same company, it's just called different names in different countries.
What does this BOY know about cars or driving F all.
"I am a robot"! Zero personality dude!
Who would ever buy an Insignia with manual transmission?
Me and I havn’t got a single complaint about it
Yes but when you come to replace the clutch and duel mass flywheel it costs a small fortune
.. I would think that the auto would be better
Good review of a boring car!
+Garry H but not so boring as you're life
Garry56 says the bore in the comment section
Is this guy even old enough to drive..?? Wouldn’t take advice from a 12 year old.
