    Damn... that's a great car! That's why I like Opel/Vauxhall! It may be not the best, but certainly if you are not billionaire it gives you the best value for your money. And their performance models have always been AWESOME cars!

    My 2011 vxr 2.8 v6 manual with self adjusting headlights in pure white, no m3 can keep up with the good vxr insignia. My car its like taking it for a drive for the 1st time & i am still having the same fun since day 1. Nice comfortable experience drive.
    I prefer my 6 speed manual than an automatic more fun & games.

    I wonder how sharp this Car is.. Have you ever driven a BMW M5 F10 for example ? Or an BMW M4? I drove one once .. I would Like to know how close the VXR Insignia comes to these Cars in terms of Handling ..direct Steering and Flat cornering . ?

    • @BarrieCrampton
      @BarrieCrampton  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      its an awesome car for the money, lots of power, great handling, however it isnt up to M5 or M3 standard as you would expect and i have never driven an M4 so cant say, but its a lot lot cheaper than the BM's and a whole lot of fun

    • @hurricane2307
      @hurricane2307 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes surely it isnt on that Level in many things . But I had the Feeling that the direct Steering and Flatcornering Feel could be on M3 E92 Level in VXR Mode .

      Maybe on some models, but the 2.8 l v6 is bulletproof. Never known one or heard of one blowing up. Providing you stick to the service & get the drive chains changed if your unlucky that is, then these engines go forever. Down side, they are very thirsty.
