It's the best looking Vauxhall for a long time! It's actually excellent value.

[robbielawson]

Having a guage telling you the battery power and oil pressure / temperature is not overkill!

[wagsterish]

"this isn't an Audi, I must nitpick every little detail" 😆

[georgiamcdermott]

Oh Christ, another car that because it isn't BMW, Mercedes, or Audi it gets criticised for the tiniest things. Having oil temperature is overkill? Really? Yet in other reviews, things are okay because at the end of the day, it's a Mercedes, or Audi...

Really underrated car, couldn't believe how nice it was to drive. Would consider one next and Im not a Vauxhall man.

I prefer Vauxhall interior to Ford. That touchscreen infotainment system actually has good responsiveness, unlike others from pricier cars. Pretty impressed with it value wise.

[GunnarssonAlexander]

I own one. I can do nothing but recommend it! Super high value for your money! Does everything you expect it to do very well. IMO, it looks reeaally smart 🤔

In other cars, its a high quality dampered glove box, in this car, it is a problem.

[BobbyJay]

In my opinion, this is the best looking family hatchback of 2018. Vauxhall nailed it with design

For my favourite car reviewer, this review sounds like you had made your mind up before you saw the car.

[Zerofightervi]

Is it just me or is Matt being particularly nit-picky about this car?
I mean complaining about the feel of a rear view mirror, really?
The look & feel of the rear seat USB ports, come on Matt.
Vauxhall have to find ways to keep the costs down on items that don't matter.
Also, Matt....you leave the bonnet open & then moan you get hear the diesel engine, you see all of the insulation, if the bonnet was closed that insulation would then work.

Also, the Insignia is built in Germany, so you'd think Matt would actually go easy on it like one of his beloved Audis.

I bought one of these. 1.5 turbo petrol, auto, and does 45mpg on a long run. Gearbox isn't to bad, but a very relaxing drive, and the design is good too. I've always turned away from Vauxhall's, but the value for money, space and renewed reliability (see JD power survey) I couldn't say no...and haven't been disappointed!

[zmanauz]

Feel like you’re being excessively critical on this one mate.
A good car doesn’t have to a BMW, Audi or Mercedes only.
This car may not be flash but it is damn good value for money.

[damian-rgxu]

Believe me if that car would have audi or bmw badge on it Mat would say thats outstanding car and interior is impressive.

[eduardgiurgea]

You have to be a fool to not realise this car is incredible value for money. Incredible. I've always said it, if you are not badge snob then vauxhall/opel, hyundai and skoda are the choice because they are currently making incredible cars.

[nudgenudgewinkwink]

They always catch my eye when I see one on the motorway.

[toledo]

GM sells these as the Buick Regal in the United States.

[fynn]

Looks like he's describing a 40k car

[WelcomeToTheMadness]

My families first vehicle was from this brand. Granted, this was Jamaica and listening to people mix it up with a Peugeot was its first conversation starter. This was a long time ago..

[Clarkkentuk]

I love it, I've been mainly a Ford driver, but definitely love the Insignia. Can't beat it when comparing price and quality
