That guy talking about aesthetics with that Charles Dickens beard LOL
1 minute in and that idiot is winding me up. I was about to write no man with that twaty beard should have an opinion on how anything looks. Then I saw your comment is saying the very same thing.
Very true.
Obnoxious prick
So funny..
@@kb9072 he’s like Wolverines estranged fat brother 😝
I have had an insignia now as a hire car for a month and to be honest I think it’s a fantastic car very impressed.
it does the job lol.
not as good as an omega though
We need Vicki back!
no thx
Hell no
Viki was away getting her nose de, coked
@@simonjones575 along with your mother, LoL ? 🤣
Get that guest out and bring back Vicki
Refuse to listen to anything that Jimmy says until he realises he's not in YMCA and shaves that thing off he's face 😜
@@MonkeyHunch1 tell me which bit is homophobic?
@@MonkeyHunch1 haha the grammar police who can't even use a comma or question mark correctly.
@@MonkeyHunch1 what a sad little troll 😂😂
Guest out needs to know how to get a proper beard first or just get rid of it all before criticising cars... clueless
Supercars Around Me what’s a beard got to do with a car exactly?
2.0 diesel in a GSi ??? Why the hell not, look at the Focus ST diesel, the SKoda VRs diesel....OK maybe auto not to everybodys taste but it's "market forces" or so they tell you
The Gsi is a performance estate for sensible families. It s very very nice. But when you’re a rich tv host of course it offers to little...
Mike Ciulini it does everything OK which any other car should, it just doesn’t have any character and certainly doesn’t warrant the GSI badge
Agree Mike, it most defo does have character and is deserving of its GSi badge... Although it’s clearly no VXR.
Vauxhall clearly have lost their marbles. The new Insignia is a bit dull and then the facelifted Astra is just as gutless...1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 max power 150 ps. What the hell are they doing? Bring back VXR!
@@Romulan2469 when was the last time vauxhall did a car that wasn't dull? I own an astra K and it's dull as anything
@@aidy6000 I take your point there. They are certainly all dull to a degree, however the VXR did offer some life and even the GSI / SRI are lukewarm but still offer a bit more excitement compared to the ultra dull under powered engines they are giving us now. Look at the Golf, wonderful piece of engineering, but seriously overpriced for what you get. I own an Insignia A (2.0 turbo) which goes like stink, but it is still a bit dull to drive with lifeless steering.
It’s great that it lets you rotate a bit. I think it suits the car. Sad they are not bringing an full out OPC variant with a V6 though.
I saw the insignia at the Nurburgring in august 2017. Partially spy shot, it was pretty cool
The Vauxhall Insignia is a beautiful looking car
You need the Australia Holden version with a 3.6l 300 HP petrol engine and the much better 9 speed auto
Doubt it would comply with any European emission regs and in the uk would cost thousands in tax a year. Basically no one would buy a gas guzzling lump like that in a bottom of the ladder brand.
we need vicki back
„Only in automatic..? That’s a shame!“ My men Jason and Tiff know what it’s about!!!!
Love the team test idea but they should be longer.
Basically, it's got the wrong name!... otherwise not bad really.. (Phil)
That’s why in Australia we put a Turbo 3.6L V6 in most models but the base and we have a VXR version as well.
aaaaplay the 3.6 V6 isn’t turbo charged.
I own a VXR, it's not turbo charged, I wish it was though.
Now what kind of score is that. And what kind of guest is that.
Bring back 5th gear....again !
Are you feeling like a GSI?
No I'm feeling like a taxi driver😂 Typical Tiff..
LOL
I like the look a lot
Any ideas on what shirt tiff is wearing, more eye catching than the car lol
Why do fifth gear always test everything as a supercar
Trying to replace old top gear.
"The Fifth Gear Team Review the Ford Fiesta ST. Taken from Series 27 of Fifth Gear, first broadcast 11th October 2018."?
I think the description is very wrong.
What a beautiful estate ! Gorgeous , bmw designers are ashamed :))
Hang on they are testing a diesel over the petrol it’s ment to be 5th year 🙈
As a Vauxhall fan, GSI really should be petrol only :(
Why did Vicky grow a beard
Hahahaha🤣🤣🤣
These car reviewers get annoyed that you can't turn off the ESC but it's designed to keep you safe and stop you from slamming into another car
Yeah, because you buy a Insignia to drift with it... where? On the M25 at 12 mph speeds? The M1 in the 50 mph average zone? On the M6 near in rush hour traffic? 😂
So I live in the Americaland now. I just picked up the Buick TourX (the version here). I grabbed the 250hp fancy edition, it's pretty good, the shifting is odd, and even with the extra omph it has no sense of of rush. More sedate less haste. Great for highways. It has a stupid auto start/stop which could not be turned off...
So I sent off for a tune to kill that auto stop... Then I saw the "sport mode". Well; now I have a whole new beast, probably hits around 300hp ish, still feels safe and secure, and they allow you both original mode and sport via and simple button press.
If the car came with this tune, they probably would of sold heaps more, I bet someone I the UK does a Vauxhall tune, same engine? The ecotec 2.0 right?
(Buick put some annoying plastic "rugged" cladding on the side too, looks shit)
Good looking car.
0:51 postman pat came to mind here..
Why did you test the diesel,for sporty
Help, i can't stop watching this train wreck.
Only Johnny seems to judge fairly whilst the others have made up their minds before they even get in the bloody car.
If Tiff and the rest just want to test race or track cars then do so and leave road cars to sensible open minded people.
THis is a GSi model and deserves to be thrashed if it is going to be worthy of the badge!
I like it, I want one.
Stopped production of the diesel
i have a problem with halogen light.were is led light?
It is a BUICK in the USA 🇺🇸
It _needs_ to be auto. It's too big to be a sports car. An those hard seats will have you in agony on your London to Glasgow run.
enjoy your boring life shipping kids about you worthless breeder!
No, thank you, I’ll much rather do my commute to the local breakneck b-road in a six-speed manual, 3oohp Volvo V70R or Audi RS 6..! And what’s wrong with a fast estate..?
I’ve done Cardiff to Penzance in my gsi diesel hatchback non stop,got out as fresh as I got in,very comfortable
Just asking, but does the petrol version is still available..?
Also avail in the UK, seen one or two for sale
No, it is NOT available in Europe since around April 2018. The 2.0T petrol was cancelled due to incapability to meet new EURO6 emission standards valid from Sept. 1st 2018.
No perspective buyer is going to buy it based upon its ability to Drift.
They will judge it by Price, Kit on offer, and how well it performs in real road situations, like getting up to speed quick. Overtaking power , practicality.
If they renamed it GSD would that help?
Admittedly for a 210bhp diesel it’s Numbers do seem a little lacklustre but it’s a big old tank.
Plastics I had one on loan I agree are not the best. But the 1.5t vxline I Had I Loan was surprising a Nice car to drive . But again abit slow.
As for transmissions I doubt anybody is going to get close to the Germans likes of Merc cdi or bmw Td auto Tranny button line is going to come down to price and running costs s
Mark C This Insignia is much cheaper than German trinity (Merc, BMW, Audi).
Interior quality is on higher level compered to Ford.
For example, Mercedes interior has also hard plastic. At least Insignia has real leather on the seats.
QuitMC
The only thing I didn’t like with the interior was a shinny black plastic piece in the centre console in front of the gear shift. Where the e handbrake is. I don’t think ford is all that bad tbh.
The Mondeo is far nicer than my focus. That said the mk3 FL 2015+ is better than 2012-2015. PFL.
Vauxhall have improved the quality of their cars. The new Insignia is a far cry from the X reg 2.6sri I once had.
My sister has a Vauxhall Adam I was actually impressed with its drive. Don’t line the Stars/? Sparkle lights on roof lining. Brow in law has a newish corsa vxr, he don’t drive it hard but it sounds sweet and looks up for it😁🏎💨
Would you rather drive a car with a GSi badge or GS-Line badge?
There is aways someone hating on Vauxhall! They r good cars stop fucking moaning about it!!!
I like this car
Is the petrol one better?
I thought the petrol version was no longer available with GSi?
Was almost going to look at getting one till was told this at dealership 😣
Jason Boyle Not sure why the decided to sell without the petrol engine, I was putting together a video of one and put the petrol info in and was told I needed to take it out 🙈
The car looks fine. The engine is what lets it down. Here in Australia if this was a v8 it might have sold well. But it completely failed here. Very sad.
Besides Vicki, the others are all knobs. Imagine getting style advice from Wolverine inverted... Some of the comments are like these lot have never stepped into a vehicle before! The reviews need to be from the perspective of the potential buyer in that segment, and comparible to vehicles in the class and price range, so that the information is actually useful.
Well said
Need the 300hp V6 we get in Australia
Vauxhall should make it more powerful to get as good or better than Skoda Octavia VRS, but it isn't too bad at all.
The guy that thinks he's wolverine speaking about looks is peak irony:)))
its a Vauxhall insignia not a Mercedes Sclass. What did you expect .. a Champaign fridge in the back.
Looks well for an estate
WTF was this? If it was Ford or any other brand you like, it will score 8,5 and above...
Your “guest” talking about how it looks is just absurd. Just look at him!
It doesn’t drive like a sports car because it is a fucking DIESEL ESTATE! And show me one sportier Mondeo. The one with 1.0 Ecoboost? 😳
Vauxhall vectra 2.0
i have a Insignia B Diesel with 210HP and 4x4 - so in principle same as GSI but w/o the seats , the brakes and the front and rear, which is different with the GSI, it is good fun driving but this engine does not belong into a GSI, it is discontinued anyhow, now you can get a GSI only with a 230HP petrol engine, however, evrything else but sporty, too.....
Didn’t he press the traction control off
It would surely get 10 out 10 for depreciation..... :D
What about the Buick Regal version in petrol nay?
Already wrote down their pre fixed and typical summing up and attitude before they arrived to test it.. The same happens with T Gear regarding anything Vauxhall...
Insignia are good.
It looks great .. and thats about it really ..
Nobody who buys this car is going to take it round a track its a family car and mum or dad who is driving it wants a bit of pace and is decent round corners.
I think i saw that car in United States, but it had Buick symbol not the Opel one or Vauxhall one.
Buick Regal
@@porno6361 yup
bang tidy looking motor
At least test the bloody petrol engine....🙄
Tiff would be the ultimate uber driver
Has that Jimmy fell seen himself in the mirror lately ? Glass houses. The new Insignia is a very decent car with loads of legroom compared to the old model, great for a family and hauling gear.
If I was a car reviewer I would stop recommending diesel
That Jimmy guy needs a slap. He’s gone into this trying to find fault with it and it shows. Nothing he’s ever “built” on that god awful program of his is nicer than this.
I love the look but the Volvo v60 looks more grown up
This is a fantastic car, you have no idea of anything .... And this Jimmi is in general not adequate for any kind of opinion about anything, and especially about such a beauty like Insignia
Right Vauxhall, time to shut the geezers up....get the VXR back into production! Keep the tree huggers happy...release with electric motor to push up the bhp!
If you buy a Vauxhall you might as well put a sign up saying “ in life Iv given up “
mark dance I’ve bought 5, I’ve not given up on life.
Bullshiiit..it s much cooler than a dull passat
Bring back tiff
Nonsense. Slating a Vauxhall estate car for not being able to drift properly - what rubbish. A family car being reviewed as if it should perform like a Porsche. Garbage. Never to be watched again. 👎🏻
£35,000 new, £5000 at 3 years old. They are a great used buy at under £5k but honestly nobody apart from a company repping is going to pay the list price new.
3:12 Initial D in Fifth Gear?
not one shot of the dashboard or instrument cluster
LondonInHD because it’s utterly boring
I quite like Jimmy DeVille on this, I think he suits. Dont get why people are ripping into him
Why do your videos still look like they have been recorded 10+ years ago? :(
The petrol version should at least match the 320 bhp as the VXR, If not more.
The petrol is a 2 litre,the vxr is a 2.8 litre,that’s why it has 320bhp
Do your really need 4wd in a 2 litre diesel?
480 Newtonmeters (354 lb ft) on the front axle would be definitely a bad idea.
Plus, an adaptive 4x4 system greatly improves stability as well as enhances cornering.
The fact they put a gsi badge on a diesel is a fucking disgrace.
Maybe it would be good for PSA to delete the Vauxhall name because of this shitty attitude towards it... This "review" was pure garbage, only because this is Vauxhall; "gearbox is lazy" (made by Aisin), "torque vectoring rubbish" (GKN/Twinster, used by Focus RS), "hard seats" (AGR certificate)... very helpful and objective.
Is Vauxhall just Opel?
Lucaci Alexandru Yes
This is what happens when the French haven't got a clue about the gsi image
The British are so lucky..... in the rest of europe you can only get the diesel version (Opel does not make the petrol one, only vauxhall does)
Here in Australia we have it with the 190kw petrol turbo i4 or 235kw/315hp petrol V6 but no one wants them because they replaced a classic Australian built RWD, and everyone now wants SUVs/4WDs.
Must have manual transmision
"listen to this"
Proceeds to touch door trim that is normally hidden by the door being closed.
Are the touch points soft?
If yes then please moan about stuff that's important.
There are certain members of the British motoring press that seem to have it in for Vauxhall, yet they'll be the first to moan if Vauxhall went out of business.
It’s funny when you get blotto and your mates shave some of your beard off while you sleep.
A BMW 320d/520d is quicker than this Insignia and on that basis I think it totally defeats the purpose of it being a ‘GSi’ and up until recently you could get the BMW 320d/520d as a manual if you wanted it.
Ditch Deville
Car basically intended for middle managers to potter from meeting to meeting in turns out not to be good on a racing circuit. Film at eleven.
Next Month. The deplorable lack of cupholders and terrible boot In a McLaren F1 car.
I'd agree if they said it's 10k overpriced, a bit dull, likely to depreciate fast and that the badge won't impress anyone
Still poor for a sporty estate. It should have a more powerful engine, or be lighter.
Lol
I agree I had a insignia got rid of it soon as I could the Mondeo is a far better car and better on fuel too
It's a absolute flop in Australia , Holden sales shit in decades
trying to test it as a 'track' car - didn't like it because it doesn't drift...... bunch of fools. Actually, lapped the NR faster than the monster outgoing VXR.
Map it lol might feel more like a gsi lol
