Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer (2017 - 2019) SRi VX-Line Nav 2.0 (170PS) Turbo D BlueInjection 5d Owner Review

I've had my Insignia SRi for around 4 months now and I'm still pleasantly surprised by how good it is. As a practical yet stylish family car it performs brilliantly and in my opinion it drives just as well as our previous 2017 Audi A6. It eats motorway miles with comfort and ease and handles like a much smaller, sportier car on the winding B roads. Having had Audi's and BMW's there are differences in quality i.e. the keys, paint seems to scuff easier and it's had a knock sensor fault (just before the manufacturer’s warranty ran out), but the price paid for a sub 30k miles, 3 year old car certainly makes up for it. The other difference is the dealership, our Vauxhall dealer is more akin to a backstreet garage and miles away from the high-end German marques when it comes customer experience. The technology in the car is excellent and I was lucky enough to find one with the digital instrument panel. It feels modern and well equipped with Apple CarPlay, reversing camera, decent in-built sat-nav and front/rear parking sensors. Our brief was a car that needed to efficient yet not sluggish, whilst carrying 2 adults, 2 children and a dog; sometimes with a load of camping gear and outdoor sports paraphernalia. The Insignia has fitted the bill perfectly.
