[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I've been googling information on the Insignia lately and thinking......hmmm.....perhaps.....maybe.

I find the bloated lump of metal that is the Insignia far from attractive (especially when stuck behind it's fat arse in a traffic jam).......but the 2.0 turbo and the 2.8 V6 turbo can
picked up quite cheaply.

Hmmm.......perhaps...maybe.

I shall lie down in a darkened room until the madness passes because the Insignia is the visual equivalent of the fat bird in the chip shop, the one with the moustache and the blotchy legs.

Please let it be no more than a bad dream.

Like the olden days in films where they used to slap histerical women round the face


Pull yourself together man! (Tshhhhhh)

Although, this caught my eye other day...

What? Estate only? I think it's useable. And as I keep saying I love the interior.


saloon.... No. Definitely not.


But is the estate any good as an estate...?

£16000 for something that has been beaten to a pulp with the ugly stick. No thanks.

Half that amount is too much for a five year old Insignia.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

How much do you want to get shot of yours, Al?.....

[05omegav6]

True

Mine looks like that, but in white and is cheaper to fuel and insure than that rather tasty black one.

The VXR saloon I test drove actually had to stop for fuel during a five mile test

Went very well though

I know of a white 4x4 estate which will be available later in the summer... very good B road car and equally fine as cruiser

[05omegav6]

How much do you want to get shot of yours, Al?.....

Clear the finance and it's yours be fully serviced with new disc and pads and a fresh MoT...

So let me get this right, Al.

The car is a 2.0 Turbo estate but with AWD rather than FWD?

How many miles and how much finance?

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

It would need to be petrol.

Derv is the juice of the devil.

I think given a choice between an equivalent Insignia and Mondeo, I'd go for the Mondeo. 

[ted_one]

Whoa!! 16 grand.......you could buy 32 Omegas with that and then make one good one out of them all

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I think given a choice between an equivalent Insignia and Mondeo, I'd go for the Mondeo. 

Not so long ago I had a test drive in a Mondeo ST 220 estate. I think my particular example may have been 'off colour' because it didn't feel as though it had anything like 220 horses at it's disposal.

In gear performance was poor and it required lots of welly before the engine came alive.

Torquey it was not.
