In this video. I get to drive the Vauxhall Insignia GSi. A more sporting version of the standard insignia. Hope you enjoy the Video. ✖️FOLLOW ME ON - *Instagram: / sidewayssid. . *Facebook: / sidewayssid *Twitter: si...
This car doesn't seem too bad, unfortunately nobody will buy it because of the badge. I personally wish I didn't care but as a car guy I just couldn't bring myself to own this...
deadkemper yeah except this car is nowhere as exciting as the stinger. Brands like Kia and Vauxhall really need to do something special to have the "want" factor.
It does look lovely put a Volvo or VW badge on it and it'll sell by the shedload.You don't see many of these insignias on the road as it's a stunning looking car.
Yes but a "opel" country tourer. Fully loaded with the 260hp petrol engine. A volvo v90cc has slightly better comfort but way more expensive. I love the great chassi and the great interior.
I would love to see you doing a video on the new focus estate in st-line trim with the slightly detuned 1.5 liter 3 pot from the fiesta st. Could be a sweet spot between space, size on the road and pace. I also think it comes with Michelin PS4s.
I sat in one...i swear vauxhall have done it...they made a great car, the finish is better than my passat alltrak and skoda superb i had...would i buy a new one..nope...but a second hand buy for £25k nearly new like this one was up for , yes i would, and i tried to
35k. Wow. But saying that.. at-least Vauxhall are continuing the GSI name. It was cool back in the day but no so much now. Not my cuppa but I’m sure someone out there will wake up one day and think to themselves.. “‘Nah, I won’t test drive that slightly used 335d touring M sport today, I’ll just go and buy this brand spankers Insignia GSI instead.” Great video though Sid. Enjoying the channel.
I have very little interest in Vauxhall’s (unless it’s a vxr) but have to admit I do like the recent stuff. I have spent time in a 2015 Astra as a passenger it was pretty refined
Estate cars are cool. This one looks good for a daily driver. However, why can't you get the 2-litre petrol turbo or the V6 you can get in the Buick version?
Looks like a decent motor, in the right colour, wheels, spec, I would yes ok, but £34 k, I'm not so sure. Engines not so glamourous, emmissions generally to high for bik company car drivers.
tried to buy this EXACT car from thurrock vauxhall, i recognise the plate.sold it last saturday..so that was that...I cannot find another 4x4 insignia so i gave up
Great video Sid, I always enjoy your stuff! As for the car, absolutely not! Couldn’t think of anything worse than a Vauxhall, just bland and boring cars.
I’ve been given the Insignia “hatch” as a hire car while mines being repaired. What a pile of dog s*** it is. The 1.5 turbo is seriously underpowered at 163bhp for such a heavy car. The manual gear box is lumpy, it rides like a boat in choppy water and the technology inside is frustrating! That touring is not good value for money. I’ll stick with my 245bhp TSI Octavia estate which is quicker, less money, 50L bigger boot and a far nicer interior oh and driving experience.
You need to invest in a external mic. It's annoying with the wind noise.

which is what people said about Kia...and who wouldn't have a stinger gts ?

Nice review,I actually like it they come along way in terms of quality
Good video. Vauxhall have really stepped up their quality of recent, have you ever drove the older Corsa VXR Nurburgring/Clubsport?
Yes but a "opel" country tourer. Fully loaded with the 260hp petrol engine. A volvo v90cc has slightly better comfort but way more expensive. I love the great chassi and the great interior.
How much did they pay you bro? Yuk
Wank

No. It’s a Vauxhall.

For being a Vauxhall/Opel it looks decent
I have very little interest in Vauxhall’s (unless it’s a vxr) but have to admit I do like the recent stuff. I have spent time in a 2015 Astra as a passenger it was pretty refined
That looks an awesome car. Great review
Grinding for a GT3 is hard work
I feel sorry for vauxhall getting battered in the comments
They're an undercover police whip and always will be haha. Bi turbo 2.0 TDI sounds good. Wish my Leon FR was a bi TDI
Good idea sid. Good to get some diesels on the channel every now and then. I'd like to see you get your hands on a remapped 335d
Vauxhall VXR ✅
Vauxhall GSI ❌
Estate cars are cool. This one looks good for a daily driver. However, why can't you get the 2-litre petrol turbo or the V6 you can get in the Buick version?
UniversityOfTurmoil maybe an rs6 or e63 is cool but not this 😂
This is something I have been considering as a daily I think they look so nice great vid
Something different 😬
What engine choice is there?
Sideways Sid great review and great car!
Yeah, I'd have one...
It's the new Holden Commodore down under. Seats look cool.
Is this the "SUV" of car reviews? I.e. it's going to fund the real sideways clips?
Shame you couldn't test the petrol version - 280hp. GKN Twinster AWD system in all versions
Was 260,then reduced to 230
Lovely looking car that
I like it
Vauxhall’s interiors have came a long way. It’s no Audi inside but hats off to vauxhall👍
Good to see something different. Glad to see someone reviewing cars most of us can afford. Not a fan of the vauxhall brand but good to see anyway.
No!
Looks like a decent motor, in the right colour, wheels, spec, I would yes ok, but £34 k, I'm not so sure. Engines not so glamourous, emmissions generally to high for bik company car drivers.
That is a good looking car....dnt know if I'd spend 35k on it right enough.
Only highway driving no blasting on b-roads? Can't call this a genuine review.
tried to buy this EXACT car from thurrock vauxhall, i recognise the plate.sold it last saturday..so that was that...I cannot find another 4x4 insignia so i gave up
which is strange coz i live only 4 miles from Wellingborough
No sid just no mate, i can't be suffering the wind noise for a sales reps car
How is this as good as BMW??
Simple answer: No
70 mph yet barely 2k revs...
Answer: No, it's an insignia
I'm still on the advert but the answer is "no" . Sadly I grew up in the 80s and 90s when Vauxhall ruled. Those days have been gone for 20 years
Why would you get this over a Golf R ??? They come at the same price, even worse a golf GTD....
or a 320d m sport...
overpriced by about 10k
tanafc96 Totally agree & also in 12 months it will of lost over 10k
Space there's none in those cars
Good looking car but you could have a fully loaded Mazda 6 Sport Nav touring for quiet a few thousand less. I ain’t a badge snob! Like all sorts
I thought Vauxhall was going to bin the VXR brand?
Hopefully
What's all this stigma around Vauxhall? Hahah.
Pretty sure VXR is dead and gone now.
Great video Sid, I always enjoy your stuff! As for the car, absolutely not! Couldn’t think of anything worse than a Vauxhall, just bland and boring cars.
Would rather have a slightly used bmw 340 estate
No?
Absolutely not 😂😂😂
I think it's good looking car but not £35k. Maybe the lines of 10k or less for a year old
35 grand? lol no chance
Problem is it’s 35 grand and it’s a Vauxhall....
Mate don't sell out we are not interested in estate motors unless it's rs6 or e63
New leon cupra in estate with 4wd is pretty nice tho.
What's wrong with estates I'd take an estate version of a car over a "normal" version most times
@@lostgps3005 I don't own golf clubs, kids or dogs so no need for one.
@@Original_Nuttah well say "I" not "we"....quite a lot of us are.
@@deadkemper do one
Love your work but no no no to the Vauxhall

Sounds like a meat factory 😂
Lol.
Just the worst cars in the world. Sorry Sid.
