@@q3b26 I can agree with that, although Vauxhall have made some good tweaks to the driving set up for this car. So it's not JUST a trim level, but I do understand what you mean
If you’re packing your bags for a country weekend away, you can’t do better than this one. Ginny is the perfect weekend away mate. The Vauxhall’s ok, mid-table stuff.
Great looking touring car great review Ginney I loved it I am amazed that the drivers seat is none electric come on PSA Group this is not what we expect from the new you.
Is this based on the 508 or is that yet to come? Also, I know you said the Superb and Passat have more carrying capacity, but it would've helped to see the boot size once you lowered the seats. :)
Why is Vauxhall marketing this as it’s new launch since psa took over, wagon/estate cars make up the second smallest categories car owners choose the biggest being a/b and suv so this seems a crazy choice to renew their fortunes
The insignia had already been designed before PSA took over. It was an inherited design. Besides the insignia has always been one of Vauxhall few profitable models so it would make sense that it would be replaced despite the shrinking segment.
Have the 2.0 Diesel that she was testing and get 28mpg in the city. Bloody pathetic if you ask me. Mine is the top of the range and has electric seats just for info.
You obviously know nothing about opel, because they are again in benefit after 1 year. With GM they were in deficit since 19 years ! PSA is saving opel , vauxhall
Lol. The good old time of GM with 1 billion dollar deficit each year since 19 years ... what a stupid comment. Even the germans are happy with PSA because they are free to build the new opel like they want and full electric for'the next opel . The german engineers are free again to bring their knowledge for a new opel modern
stephen10 who cares about deficit? General Motors paid it. And they can’t build the cool cars anymore, because PSA is boring. The Corsa OPC is gone, there is no new Astra and Insignia OPC and we don’t get the GT. Opels were sold as Buick, Chevrolet and Holden all over the world. Now they are boring and have to build on bad PSA platforms.
1:47 Exuse me, but WTF? When this car came out I thought Opel had a winner. Then I visited a dealership to see what it was like. Squeaks and rattles coming from EVERYWHERE. This is anything BUT well built. And this is why you absolutely should NOT buy a car based on reviews. Car reviews are for entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less.
Don't wanna disappoint you sir, but nope. This car was made before PSA. It uses GM engines too. The Crossland X and the Grandland X are PSA. And they are built much better than this.
I'm Your Huckleberry They used to be! My mum did have a brand new 3008 as a loan car which was so solidly built apart from one thing... Something had fallen off inside the front passenger door and clonked every time you opened or closed it.
It's an acronym. Acronyms are pronounced the way each individual letter is pronounced, were you to one in an alphabet. So, transcribing the English pronunciation into Romanian, we get "es iu vi", because that's how you pronounce the letters S U and V.
No. Estate cars are more akin to elongated hatchbacks. Minivans have different proportions, usually being taller, family oriented, and sometimes having the engine partially tucked under the dashboard (as is the case with Citroen's Picasso series and VW's older Touran)
Vauxhall and Opel have been the same brand since the 1980's the Opel brand sold poorly in the UK and the Vauxhall brand sold poorly in Europe so eventually the two brands sold identical cars under two separate brands
Not the best colour to review, makes the insignia look crap which is far from the truth. I do like the black trim instead of chrome, mine is a white vx line estate so the chrome looks fine.
same goes for Honda's. my Honda garage told me that there is a noticable quality difference between the japanese build and Britisch build Honda's. the Japanese ones are build better
@@bamphmx-5548 The astra and Vivaro are built in the UK. They are the same car as is sold as Opel on the continent. Both being subsideries of GM / PSA.
Vauxhall is one of the worst brands ever, ugly interior, exterior, disgusting drive, unreliable when things go wrong and top it off worst customer service at dealers.
Cleo is right, it is a Buick. Buick had nothing to do with Insignia/Regal development, it was developed by Opel, but it is a Buick because its GM property and Opel is no longer part of GM. Next year we'll probably see new Insignia without GM parts based on PSA platform. I do hope new one will have similar design.
So Ginny quite likes the boring fuddy duddy Vauxhall but hates the way more charismatic Jeep Compass which is better equipped, more fun, more capable and will have way better residuals. Another very strange review indeed.
"It's a cheaper alternative to the Volvo V90 Cross Country" Yea right... and the Corsa is a cheaper alternative to the V60 Cross Country... Sound familiar !? Dislike! That's why Carwow is better! ;)
The insignia is getting a new major software update to that infotainment system and it’s much better
Best looking station wagon out there in the same price range.
Meh, Mondeo looks better.
VW Passat Estate is better
Superb review Miss Buckley !!
Yasss... Ginny's back!
I like it, not a car for me but if it was i would have a look.
You mentioned the GSi model a few times; are you planning on doing a review on that soon? I hope so
It's just a trim level now, nothing like the old GSi hot hatches. It's a bit like Ford's ST-Line, just a bodykit.

I think presenter does the cameraman work as well.. in her reviews..she doesn't show much footage as James.
"ESH you VeeS"
Why can’t she at least to try and say “s” and give me some hope in humanity.
Never heard it pronounced “In-sin-ya” before..
I like how the Skoda Superb Estate review they linked to is old enough to feature Mat lol
What a great car!
Great looking touring car great review Ginney I loved it I am amazed that the drivers seat is none electric come on PSA Group this is not what we expect from the new you.
need to be the elite for full electric
My older SRI Nav has an electric up and down control, rest are manual, the mirrors are electrically adjustable but not electric folding.
Like Insignia much more than Passat or Superb. But Talinsman is still the coolest in that class.
OPEL is getting better every time
I don't think anyone buying this car will expect it to thrill them, Ginny. it's an estate car not a sports car. Nice car though. Well done Vauxhall.
Is it possible to sit in the middle rear with two isofix child seats installed?
3:43 forgot you were in a Vauxhall?
Adjust the seat manual😮this is the best! I prefper the simple things not electric seat this and that! Just more problems more headache!
What size are the wheels?
Is this based on the 508 or is that yet to come? Also, I know you said the Superb and Passat have more carrying capacity, but it would've helped to see the boot size once you lowered the seats. :)
It is still in its older platform, Opel based one. Next one is going to be based on the one of 508

How many miles are you getting on a full tank of fuel roughly?
Really poor camera angles. Don’t really size boot capacity or leg room in rear.
With PSA , Opel grand land has a good suspension .
stephen10 PSA destroyed Opel/Vauxhall. Really miss the good old GM times...

In america the vauxhall insignia is part of the more premium brand buick
eh no it’s originally an Opel Insignia and than they rebadge them in different countries.
Vauxhall/Opel cars have been Saturn, Buick and Cadillac in the US.
Fire-sale prices before the shutdown. Good luck getting any post-purchase service from PSA.

Excuse me! Can you tell me, please, why do you say ”esh UV”, when it is clearly an S (which come from Sport). Do you pronounce Shport?

did car companies change the name from minivan to state car?
No. Estate cars are more akin to elongated hatchbacks. Minivans have different proportions, usually being taller, family oriented, and sometimes having the engine partially tucked under the dashboard (as is the case with Citroen's Picasso series and VW's older Touran)
The car is not yet well-known in my country. I never hear the name of the car.
So this is basicaly Opel?

Not the best colour to review, makes the insignia look crap which is far from the truth. I do like the black trim instead of chrome, mine is a white vx line estate so the chrome looks fine.

Why is that a car like Opel/Vauxhall and Ford Taunus ware made in UK and Germany but the german mede car was always better then the UK made car?

PSA turned an utterly dull car in a very tasty package. Beautiful car indeed.
Its a Buick lol
Not anymore. Now it's French (owned) by PSA.
Cleo 1991 Opel/vauxhall make these cars and buick use the body. Its built in Europe.

Not sure what you on about, even Jeremy Clarkson said the new Zafira Tourer looks and drives very well
Gotta match your customer!!!
VW Passat Estate is better
