2018 Vauxhall Insignia Design Grand Sport 1.5 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Smooth
Faults:
Basically nothing. Climate control is a little weak.
General Comments:
Bloody good looking and very comfortable, those are the Insignia's strong points. I've always liked these cars, this is my second.
Design model is rather basic, but the car still has all the electrics you could want. Seats are super comfortable. Dash and materials have a quality feel.
1.5 petrol automatic in a heavy car - performance is actually OK, but I'm only getting around 35 mpg, which is to be expected. If you want a little better, get the manual transmission for closer to 40 mpg. Or better yet, a manual diesel for 50 mpg. But otherwise the running costs of this petrol engine are OK all things considered.
Difficult to say any more. It's just a fine family or executive car that does it all at a nice price.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I think you did well, the 1.6 isn't much faster, and does around 30 mpg, so give yourself a pat on the back. Drain oil every 10k, give it a minutes idle down when coming off the motorway or after a hard drive.
