I had 2014 Insignia. 2.0 disel with Automatic transmision and 4x4. 200hp. I loved that car. Bought it one year old and for that amount of money the level of equipment i got was amazing. Adaptive suspension, radar cruise control, adaptive xenon lights, AGR memory seat and so on.
Interior quality was superb. Nicely designed and quality made. After almost 100.000km of wich 80k in my possesion, the interior didn't change at all. I like how it was designed to be easy to use.
I don't understand why people bash Insignia. Great quality car for far less money then other brands with a lot more equipment.

I owned 2018 Opel Insignia (Buick Regal) in the U.S. It drove like a luxury car (18" wheels), butter smooth, plush and refined. 2018-2020 Buick Regal came standard with 2.0T 250hp engine, they had plenty of power for everyday driving. Utility was amazing, its trunk was huge. Everyone who rode with me complimented my car. I am sad we won't see this redesign in the U.S. I loved this car so much, I decided to get a used Cadillac CT6 with the same 2.0 turbo engine.

Hi guys from England. Have the tourer GSI. Absolutely love this car. Great to drive and very comfortable. Also integrated sat nav is great. Don't like the ones that stick on top of dash! Also as per other comments I like separate controls for heating etc. Well done opel/vauxhall!

Definitely looks premium! They've done a great and beautiful work on this FACELIFT. SO gorgeous 😍

[prashanthm]

This is the Insignia that should have been from the launch.

[milanbujna]

A solid mainstream (not wannabe premium) car, not overengineered and with the right balance between modernity and old school in the interior with a reasonable number of physical buttons inside.

[gdfeeling]

There is something so optimistic with Insignia. Always liked it!

I usually don't like estates but Opel has done a great job on the rear end on the Insignia Estate and I like it a lot, Great job

Looks like the people at Opel managed to improve Peugeot's slow infotainment module into something that's actually useable.

This should make designers at Stuttgart, Munich, Ingolstadt feel ashamed. Another model joins the ''in terms of design, really interesting medium sedans club'': Jaguar XE, Volvo S60/V60, Peugeot 508, Alfa Julia, Renault Talisman and now, Opel Insignia. Sorry MB, BMW, Audi, you have to step up your design game. Another great review Herr Thomas, seems that covid lockdown was good for you, you 're back in top form.

Looks damn nice for Opel. This will make the Passat look 2005.

[zexxonije]

This looks like the best buy estate car on the market, love it.

Tomorrow, my girlfriend and I will ride our current Insignia Country Tourer -18 to a dealer here in Sweden and order a GSi -22. This car is so beautiful for being such a big car and we need it because of our dog former K9.

Opel has really gotten beautiful this year. I don't think that I will ever own one due to lack of popularity here in South Africa but if I had disposable money I would definitely buy it for it's beauty

Good review Thomas. The Insignia has sure become a big car!

[Argt]

Wow that infotainment system is actually surprisingly more responsive than in some bigger manufacturers

I drive a Holden Calais ( Commodore) . It’s a mix of options. A 2019 build. 2 litre Petrol engine, 9 speed. Holden revised the Suspension basically because that was one of their strong areas. The seats are a weak point. The engine is the 260HP spec. They have stopped selling it here . I replaced a RWD top of the range, 3.6 V6, 6 speed Auto with it. Overall I am really happy with it. Performance is quite amazing definitely the Sweet spot in the range. No longer sold here, Holden has closed down, except for Customer Service.

I currently drive a Infiniti G37xS and have driven the Buick sportback gs. I loved the ride, looks and seats. I want one in red. GM has canceled it here so hard to find. GM as always didn't advertise this vehicle and then wondered why it didn't sell. Lastly didn't bring 20 inch wheels, paddle shifter and 360 camera. I wish could just buy the GSI here.

It’s a shame GM killed Holden off here in Australia, so we won’t get this facelift model. It’s a shame, because the Insignia/Commodore is a great car. Here in Australia, they were very underrated

[vladimirkosic]

I'm personally very sad to live in this SUV era. This is such a beautiful sedan! I have 2017 1.5 petrol, I'm really satisfied with it. I was waiting for little more spicy GSI, but this 230 HP is not enough... Shame there's no OPC range any more.
