2019 Vauxhall Insignia Tech Line Nav 1.6 turbo diesel from UK and Ireland
Summary:
So far so good
Faults:
Some noises from suspension will need looked at soon, but really nothing much more.
The key to keeping these diesel engines in good order is to use good quality fuel and oil, and give them a long firm drive every now and then. This is not a car for short journeys! If you do use these on too many short runs, you may have DPF issues and other problems.
General Comments:
Stunning looking car in black, this Insignia looks the part.
"Tech Line Nav" spec is very comfortable and spacious, this car has the lot. Long drives are a pleasure. Muted cruising on motorways. The car has all the electric gizmos for phone and all modern stuff you need.
1.6 diesel is not fast, only 135 bhp in a heavy car, but it has plenty of torque, and it always does over 50 mpg so cannot complain. A bit noisy around town but as mentioned, very quiet at cruising speed.
Good to drive, slick gearbox and fine handling, not sporty at all but much better than previous Insignia suspension setup.
An excellent used purchase if you find a looked after car at a nice price.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Both the older and newer Insignia are also considerably cheaper than rival cars like the Ford Mondeo on the used market. Fantastic value for money cars, shame they have stopped making them.
