Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer (2009 - 2017) 2.0 CDTi (140bhp) ecoFLEX Elite Nav 5d Owner Review

How reliable do you find the car?

Stop start useless, works once in a blue moon. Heated rear window failed but out of warranty, dealer reckoned it was corrosion! GM can not make a heated screen that is not killed by condensation, unbelievable. The "leather" steering wheel has the consistency of chewing gum in places, out of warranty again, no explanation given. One of my grand children was getting into the car and the buckle on her sandals managed to rip the back of the drivers "leather" seat which on examination was a very thin vinyl. Overall I love the car, it is a pleasure to drive and rally comfortable, I thought the heated seats were a gimmick at first but I have grown to love them. The headlights are brilliant in every sense of the word and the electric tailgate is a real boon when staggering back to the car loaded with shopping. Sadly I am now retired but if I had the money I would not hesitate to buy another.
