Vauxhall Insignia reviews

Recently switch to Stop start eco friendly insignia - is a pleasure to drive, have become use to stop start , pulls along without fuss. gives great mileage return, zero road tax, no strains or aches after long journeys.

Had the elite model for over two years without any problems. Great to drive around town or long journeys. Would definately get another as next vehicle.

Excellent car. This is the second one that I have had (the first was a manual transmition). The car is fairly nippy for a diesel and handles precisely. Apart from a routine service, the car has never been back to the garage since I took it over, from new, around a year and three months ago. My previous Insignia I had for three years. This was relatively trouble free - apart from the turbo-charger release valve failing twice (fixed under guarantee), and the satnav occasionally speaking to me in kilometres (which was annoying - but only a minor intermittent irritation). In practical terms, the car can carry a lot of without without affecting handling. There is a very useful false bottom in the boot, which is great for storing all the small, occasionally used motoring items without them rattling about - and aditionally provides a completely flat cargo area. The car also has an extra set of rear lights inside the boot - which is very useful when loading/unloading in the dark. The vehicle lights are switched on automatically, which is another plus. Satnav comprises a large touchscreen, which is very easy to use, and gives wonderfully precise directions. The sports seating at the front is very comfortable, even on a long journey. Rather than look like a semi-commercial vehicle, The aesthetics of the Insignia Sports Tourer are very pleasing - and, yes, I would have another.

The Vauxhall Insignia is a very good car, roomy, comfortable and good value on the secondhand market. The only areas I have reservations about are: The lack of a spare tyre and the use of an inflation/repare kit, the last time I had a tyre deflate while out driving the repair kit failed to seal the puncture and I had to wait over 1 hour for the breakdown van to tow me to a garage. The use of electric hand breaks can also be a problem, sometimes they do not release smoothly when moving off and on two occasions the handbreak has released while parked on a bank. Luckely I parked with the wheel turned towards the curb and the car only rolled forward about 6 inches.

Loverly car economical and good looking. MPG is very good I often average 55mpg. Comfortable with space.

Car gearing is too high for Isle of Wight roads . Engine only drives " normally " above 11-1200 rpm.

The clutch and tourbocharger must be changed!when heated no longer enter into gear!

I was motivated to write a review on my Insignia SRi 2.0 CDTi as I have been truly surprised by it so far, despite having owned it for only a couple of months. I have driven Audis and other prestige brand cars and historically always thought that Vauxhalls were inferior. Yes BMWs feel more solid and insulated, and Audis are very luxurious and smooth. But these days Vauxhalls are really worth a look. It is a contract hire vehicle for me and I do reasonable mileage. And this is where I am really impressed. Since I have had the car, 7 weeks, I have through circumstance needed to travel nearly 7,000 miles in the course of my work. This is mainly motorway long distance, but I live in the Yorkshire Dales so there is a bit of both in there. When trying to be economical I have been reguarly achieving a tank average of 62 mpg-and that's over a long distance-my best is 850 miles from an £80 fill. Put with this the well put together interior and the revised body shell, this car looks upmarket and behaves it. The ride is stiff but comfortable and the equipment is solid and reliable. Even the hatchback boot is huge, as is the space everywhere. I never thought I would be saying this, but this Vauxhall has really changed my mind. I am paying £360+VAT a month including maintenance for 25,000 miles a year for 3 years, and that is very good value too. So if you are thinking to yourself 'I could get a Passat or a BMW but not the right spec' take a chance and have a look. Well worth it.

this car has 36000 miles on the clock, it's not yet 3 years old and it's already had a new gear box, cooling system, (going back in next week for a 2nd), break pads, 4 new tyres (and it needs 2 more already) . It is very heavy on petrol , about 45 miles per £10.00 and loud when driving, sound insulation is poor. The large boot and relatively comfortable seats and space are not enough to save this monstrosity.

Clean comfortable car. Priced at market value. Very happy with the purchase.

One of the best cars out there...

I have had this car from June 2012 and it has only covered 16000 miles from new,and today it has failed its Mot requiring a rear coil spring at a cost of £259 which I find excessive on a car with a full service and such a low milage . Has any one else had this fault?

I was looking for a new car .This car popped up on the AA website and that of the dealer. I associate the AA with "trust" as I have been a member and used their services before. I WASNT wrong .Fantastic car from a reputable dealer. Money well spent .Well done and thanks.

I was driving the car home within an hour of seeing it!

The insigna SRI TDCI for the cost second hand is an absolute bargain! Had the car only a short time,but so impressed with its road manners, power and it's expensive feel. Paid only half the price of a new car for a 61 plate with 16000 miles! Never thought a vauxhall could impress me to this degree. I achieve 45-50mpg in the real world. but for a car this size remains surprising. I would suggest buying the SRI with 17inch wheels, for a balance between good road manners and ride comfort. Would also recommend the font rear sensors, as rear view almost a poor as my honda civic. Scope yourself a real bargain second hand, as the insigna seems to tick all the boxes.

A very cost efficient car that is comfortable and great to drive. I am semi retired and use my car to travel to various destinations around the country for my work. Providing I stick to the speed limits the fuel returns are excellent which is what i require. I am totally happy with the car in all aspects.

perfectly capable repmobile as a company car. I went for the SRi NAV, more sporty seats and trim plus 18in alloys which looked nice till i scraped them on a kerb ( twice) performance is fine, pulls well once above 2500rpm, but long gear ratios so sometimes have to change down. at cruising speed long gear ratios deliver good smooth and quiet ride at low revs and good mpg. overall 49mpg after 2yrs motoring which is good for a car of this size.

'New' to us second hand car. So far some problems with engine, and fuel consumption currently poor

Very good economically - 52mpg very comfortable, very reliable and no problems after covering 40000 miles in 18 months

Use car for travel to work & Hill walking trips throughout Scotland mainly, also trips to visit family in Essex England & Dublin Eire. Costs for 2 litre diesel SRI are good with low emissions reducing road tax & diesel giving good range over petrol equivalent. Comfortable to drive, cruises motorway & handles single track roads of Scotland easily. Large boot means all hill walking gear can be easily stowed along with essentials when out in winter time. Have had no issues with mechanical failure even when outside temperature has read -18C in Ardgour on a winter hill walk
