My car was not purchased to be a status symbol, I bought it because I really like it.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Both my wife and I really like it.

Most certainly Yes, this is my second Insignia.

What are you likely to buy next?

If I can find an Insignia of the right model and at the right price, I will buy another one.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£10,000

June 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, it was 95% the car I was looking for at 100% of the price I wanted to pay.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Because I really like the car.

What was the dealer like?

The buying experience was 1st class. The salesperson I worked with at Perry's in Barnsley was very personable.

What's it like to drive?

Very comfortable and relaxing to drive.

What's it like to park?

I appreciate the parking sensors both front and rear. I've become quite used to manoeuvring this large car and find it fairly easy to parallel park. The only issue is in multistory car parks, the car is quite wide and long but the spaces can be both narrow and a too short.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing major. there has been a small problem with brake pad alignment which was corrected by my local garage & a small issue with the handbrake when a brake linkage seized.

What's most practical about your car?

It is spacious and comfortable on long journeys’. I appreciate the cruise control and the good MPG on long haul trips.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I've grown to appreciate the electronic handbrake and would be without it now. I feel the same about the cruise control. I also really like the self opening and closing tailgate.
