      The scratchy black plastics in many of the new cars are annoying as hell. It is just something which is cheap and can ruin the whole feeling. All cheap car has these black plastics (and yes, even mid-level cars as well) and I just can't stand it. It can turn ugly really fast, so no, it is not just Matts problem. It shows dust instantly, fingerprints, scratches.... Why do the manufacturers use them? I have no idea.

    Visually the Insignia was always going to be on the back foot with it being supplied for the test in White, which any of these cars would tend to look a little featureless. Give it a similar metallic colour to the others and it's appearance wouldn't be as cool as the Peugeot but would certainly bring it more up to par. Good value family hatchback.

    The Vauxhall Insignia has better colours than that unattractive white paint in the video. The Lava Red for example is, in my opinion, the best looking Insignia colour of them all. And it only costs an extra £285 (same as that white). The Insignia will look even much better if you go for the VX Line spec and then add the optional £1,295 IntelliLux LED Matrix headlights. It's just a shame that in this video, a low spec Insignia was compared to high spec opponents. Both the Mazda 6 and Peugeot 508 featured in this video are the ranging topping models while the Insignia is not. It still won the comparison nonetheless. It deserved it, because the Insignia is a very good car.

      Vauxhalls are actually quite minimalistic luxury, specially when you get near to the top of the range. Go to Vauxhalls website and use the "build a car" feature to spec up an Insignia, and use the 360 view to have a good look. I used that to figure out what I wanted, then went to a dealership to get one second hand. Got exactly what I wanted, pure luck that car had entered their system the day before. Astra Sports Tourer SRI, deep cosmic blue, 1.4 turbo Petrol, manual, 125bhp. Perfect car for me. You might find the same with an Insignia, or try looking at their other cars.

    I’ve had the range topping Opel Insignia Sports Tourer 2.0 Turbo 4x4 (260hp petrol) now for 1.5 yrs and 27000kms and it’s actually the best car I’ve owned, including 3 Audis (of one S4), one MB, one VW, 2 Jeeps, 3 Hyundais, 1 Fiat, 3 Fords, 1 Chevy, a MINI and 8 Porsches. Actually I chose the Insignia over a Porsche SUV/Panamera. The total package the Insignia delivers is absolutely awesome. Besides the amazing Intellilux matrix lights which is always left at auto high beam, the Webasto heater and the super duper FlexRide chassis, I must say the BOSE noise cancelling system of the passenger compartment is my favorite tech. The mechanical 4x4 system with the active tourqe diff on the rear axel is brilliant driving on Scandinavian winter roads. And the towing capacity of 2.2tonnes makes it a capable hauler also. Brilliant car from Rüsselsheim, before any PSA interference. It’s a keeper!

Methinks Matt didn't reset the trip after all his hooning around.

Mazda is for the 2.0 naturally aspirated old-school car with a manual, or the 2.5 with an automatic . Also I knew several people with both these engines - the petrol owners were way happier than the diesel.

      Put it simply, he picked the worst car. Before PSA bought Opel/Vauxhall, they wanted to move their 508 platform to the Insignia platform for cost sharing. They paid a visit Opel/Vauxhall HQ to find out about the viability. Just that one visit was enough to convince them otherwise. They found an aging platform that was too heavy, not electric ready and was going to take them backwards emissionwisely. They went back and decided to rebuild the 508. The Mazda has the worst diesel engine ever.

    I really like the i Cockpit in the Peugeots. Bought my first Peugeot last year in the 3008 SUV. In my own mind it was a gamble, but 16,000km later, it's just a brilliant motor and Peugeot are pleasure to deal with too. The 508 has really piqued my interest but I've had my fair share of Japanese cars and it's hard to ignore the reliability of them. So far though Peugeot just haven't upped their game in design choices but also mechanicaly too.
    The TSI Puretech petrol engine they employ has won numerous European awards. Definitely don't knock Peugeot anyway, I took what I considered to be a gamble with the 3008 and its paid off in spades. I think the 508 may very well be my next purchase, time will tell.
