Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Highly recommended. A supremely practical estate car. Rear passenger seats have limo-like legroom. Luxury-equipped Elite has sat-nav, leather, climate control, auto-lights & wipers. 2.2 petrol engine (chaincam) offers great performance (0-60 in 8.9sec), with economy of 1.8 engine. A great improvement on the Vectra B. Insignia offers more style, but at loss of practicality.

How reliable do you find the car?

Bought from Autoquake at 3 years, 105K, now 11 years at 149k.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Previous car was a Vectra B 1.6 hatch. Wanted more space, more luxury, better safety, better performance. Does everything I want. Researched best engine, 2.2 16v, much better performance than 1.8 but equivalent economy.
