I drove the GSI for a while, that is all the car you'll ever need!
The technology level is higher then the direct opponents, it i a damn good looking car, and unlike VAG, Insignia really justify the sport in the name. Super direct and nice handling.
The only criticism is the quality of the rear view camera, but that is really all I fond bad.
I would buy one as far as the prices on the second hand market goes a bit down.

Great review buddy. What is that 1.5l petrol engine like?

[eslSlightz]

I have the 260hp 4x4 with the 8 gear automatic transmission and i need 8-9 l/100 km. The only real downside is the rather simple navigation system.
I would recommend a rooted Android or Jailbreak and using a good navigation app

what about average consumption? There was ca 9.5l for 100km. Is this the reality or was after some sporty drive?

the gearbox/pedals are made from very small cheap plastic screws, owned two of these over past six years, the first suffered a gearbox breakdown, the second suffered from clutch pedal breakdown. the onstar system is only free for a very small time period and really is not worth anything at all. technology wise not only do you still not anything decent as standard, but the overall initial costs involved are still not cheap in comparison to other cars. there really have gone BMW route with the technology everything extremely worth having is an optional extra.

the design this time around is not even nice in comparison to the previous models, what made insignia so nice to sit in was the curves swooping wraparound dashboard, which is totally gone now, if you have sat in the older models you will know what i mean there, its just flat now. and that continues outside they have made it appear flatter/lower and longer which in my view doesnt work as well as the old design.

third generation and i moved to another car, no more broken plastic gearbox/pedals for me in the next three years !!
