2018 Vauxhall Insignia SRi Nav GS 1.5T petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Bloody love it!
Faults:
Usual wear and tear plus servicing. Climate control developed a fault, would only blow cold, had to put it into a mechanic to repair, wasn't too expensive though.
General Comments:
New shape Insignia "Grand Sport" 2018 model, sharp looking car in grey. Diamond cut alloy wheels, looks very nice.
SRi Nav model is well equipped, interior is comfortable and has all the modern features you would expect. Seats are among the best I have sat in. Rear headroom a little limited for taller passengers, otherwise no complaints.
1.5 turbo petrol engine is fast enough, plus you will get around 40 mpg, which is good for petrol in a big heavy car. Can drop to 30 - something in winter/shorter drives, so if you want more mpg, go for a diesel. But it is a very quiet and smooth simple engine.
Good to drive. Cheap to buy used. Just a great all round car. Reliability has been better than my old 2010 Insignia. Hope to keep this one a long time.
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.
