2014 Vauxhall Insignia car review

I tried all the rivals before I bought my insignia and thought it was the best overall package especially when it comes to economy, I've had it 8 years now runs superb its comfortable quiet and reliable. No regrets. I think some of these so called experts are not ,and are influenced by the badge

I bought 1 last year. Low oil pressure is a common fault. Had new oil pump fitted. Water pumps go them around the time a cam belt is due which is a good thing. Had the water pump and cam belt fitted. Rear ball joints go... they clunk when going over a crack in the road. Having these done tomorrow. Aircon dont work.. yet to have this done. Just had MOT and passed with no advisories. Like any other car, it has its faults but if you look after it, it should do just fine. It is an underatted car. Its comfy to drive and they do move! I like my SRI and hope to keep it for a few years to come.

Love my SRi insignia, im on my second 1 now, look after it and change its oil twice a year and it will never let you down and this is coming from me only owning BMW's and Mercades cars in the past. I could go on and on and bore you about all its pros and cons as its not perfect by any means but you do get a lot of car for your money.
What i personally like about the insignia is the shape, size and styling, no other car i can think of has what the insignia has which to me makes it somewhat special. It has (all 3), it is a "hatchback" (with a massive boot), the car is the size of a family "saloon" and it looks like a "coupe" (sloping rear roof).
I just think the insignia is really underrated.

worst review ever 🤦‍♂. Glad they got rid of this guy and brought Rory.

Hi to everibody! I got a Insignia 1.6, diesel, sri from 2016. We travel from UK to Romania twice. I've got 2 children and an adult on those 3 seats (both times). No complaints. The car is spacious enough, they haven't cry to stop to stretch their legs. The trips were good. I drove in the mountains and no carsicks. We are very happy with the car, my children love the Insignia. It's like other membet of our family. I don't know why this video is so negative. Before that I've got a Renault Grand Espace. Ofcourse it's other league. For whay I ask from a car I give 10 out of 10. Of course it's not perfect. But I would do that long trip any time. A the best.
P.S. I'm not payd to write positive reviews from Vauxhall.
All the best to Insignia ownets.

Worse review I’ve ever seen I’ve had the VX Line and it was a lovely car. Comfortable, pretty good on fuel, great on long drives still feeling really fresh at the other end. Inside is really nice and there’s massive space inside. I’ve now seen several of this guys reviews and got to say he’s awful, Debbie downer from the start. Get yourself one they are a great car so much so i have brought another.

He's talking a load of rubbish I've just bought one and it's great no cabin noise at speed I can only think the car he's driving a car that's been to the moon and back by all means go try a Mondeo you'll buy an insignia In the end and probably get more money for it when you buy your next one

He's got the horn for a vw passat. The insignia puts those cars to shame. stunning looking car. I had the sri for 4 years. The car was great. I have driven bmws. vws Mercedes not for me insignia far superior car for space

This Guy 👆 😂 Most things said here are purely lies

no way is the passat nicer than a insignia what you onn lad

Passats are dull limp cars unless you get a auto. Vauxhalls as a whole are under rated

I try to keep in mind that these reviewers are a bit spoiled for choice and to most buyers this will be the nicest car they'll ever experience driving

A Passat saloon more practical when it comes to boot space compared to the Insignia hatch? LOL.

This guy talking rubbish it's a all round nice car and drive.limted edition 1.4 is so cool too looks better then a lot big name cars . Vauxhall insignia all the way

clueless ! THIS GUY MUST HAVE BEEN SENT IN FROM VW,FORD TO SLATE THE INSIGNIA!!!! I have drove cavilers/vectras/insignias for years....what a load of rubbish...... He has no idea what he is talking about....i Have driven over a million miles in these cars apart from ware and tear never let me down ..............

Buys the sports version then complains about the rough ride wtf did he expect, seems to only have bad things to say sounds a bit bias to me

You're plain wrong.

It must be the vxr? He is driving, I drove a non vxr insignia, and it was quite, great ride, great economy, just as good as a BMW

A passat looks crap compared to that insignia, like wtf? 😁

Guy doesn't like the car anyway why review it...everything is disappointing doesn't know what he talking about

Just bought a used 2015 2 litre diesel and I love it this review is a load of bollocks end of!

Absolute bullshit review

Autotrader get most of it sponsorship money from audi,bmw vw,so they always praise them car manufractures.vauxhall insignia is better this cars he keeps praising them

Still beats an astra

A bit late to this obviously, but nevertheless, it's absolutely cretinous. I've been in the motor trade for decades, and I've run a few of these, (and the 'opposition'). Opinions are fine, but this, for some reason, (Clarkson's arse?) is regularly factually wrong. This guy doesn't know how to judge a car, (check out this "test" with the silly write-up on the Auto Trader site), which is a bit of an issue. Never mind.

Very interesting video. However, unfortunately not all Insignias come with alloy wheels. My Insignia is a standard petrol 1.8 model with plastic hub caps/wheel covers and manual back widows (not electric)!!!! 😞😞😞. Why modern cars no matter how basic, are still produced with hub caps beats me!!!! Constant worry about about loosing a cap!!

I have to disagree with this reviewer & agree with so many other commenters. He said the dash is 'bland & uninspiring'! I personally think the dash looks pretty good. I am about to buy a used insignia elite estate. I've chosen this model above the Passat / Octavia / Superb etc as it definitely looks much nicer. I am test driving the Insignia this week after only sitting in it. However, the materials used and the specification are as equally every bit as good as a VW & Skoda. Maybe not BMW or Audi though but it knocks the socks off a Ford. I guess you pays your money......

The elite is stunning

buick lol

The worse review I have ever heard from a Vauxhall Insignia. However, I just bought a 2017 Insignia SRi VX Line BlueInjection Sport Tourer with 19 Atomic wheels on Falken Azenis FK510 Run flat tyres. The handling and driving experience is absolutely amazing to drive and the interior is beautiful, comfortable and roomy and as well as being very economical. I love them cars.. What he is talking about in the video.. he’s talking bollocks.

A strange review, that contradicts almost all others about this car. I used to have a Vauxhall Omega, and I will be buying an Insignia next. The design is a joy to behold.

This guy talks shit nothing wrong with em everyone wants to be a Jeremy Clarkson

I am planning to buy a 2012-13 insignia.. Can I continue

Whaaat? My insignia is very comfy on long rides and the suspension is good. Thus guy should learn something about insignia....so rubbish review to undermine the car.

Passat and mondeos are 30% more expensive. And the steering on the mondeo is definitely dangerous..

Sounds like he been paid to promote this car down , he only complains.

Funny how he's saying the complete opposite to any other insignia review.. Definitely a badge snob

This guys an idiot

His description bears no resemblance to the 2 Insignias I've owned. Fast, economic, comfortable and untra-reliable. He was right about the looks though, and the estate version is better still

This guy is a idiot!!
The insignia has a lovely interior ,its comfy,drives solid.
What is he talking about?

Based on the many favourable reviews I test drove this exact model today. It's a beautiful car to drive packed full of features. However, unbelievably it really fell at the first hurdle. I'm a golfer and currently drive a 1.9 Passat 2003. I can easily pop my golf cart in the boot then put the clubs in horizontally at the front (nearest to me) of the boot, no problem, room to spare. Can't do that in the Insignia, the bag (it's just an ordinary sized bag) will not go in. It squeezes in if the driver and fairway woods are first removed but then they struggle to get in. The only difference I can see is that VW mould the inside trim very close to the outer skin whereas Vauxhall don't losing several inches (about 9) either side that could be used. Real pity loved the car.

This review bears absolutely no resemblence to the car that I drove which I actually quite liked and not even a Vauxhall fan.

In the United States we get this car as a Buick Regal.
It is better reviewed than the Passat and it is leagues ahead in reliability.. .

Autotrader the worst example of motor journalism ... Cabbage .. weres Clarkson haha

Good rep or taxi car

This car is much better than he says!!! He hasn’t got a clue it’s annoying listening to him

This guy talks tosh.

typical example of paid test
