Nice!    What happened to the need for a 'sit up and beg' type car?   

Well........  

It was my full intention to buy a 'sit up and beg' and walked away from an Insignia because I struggled to get out of it; with hindsight I may not have given it a fair chance.....

The seat hight of the Honda is quite high, I tried many entrance / exits and all seemed fine, the toys, gadgets and the test drive won, it drives fantastically for my style of driving; nippy rather than flat out. Will need help from Miss Vamps to help me with some of the toys, and I have never used a sat nav.........

You havn't lived!!! 

Might even throw my maps away, though I think it will take me a while before I could rely upon it without having some paper back up......

Must admit, I don't find the Insignia at all comfortable

Nice car Mike, congratulations! Oh, & as for the Sat Nav, you've never been really lost until you use one!!!!

Same, every time I've tried one, the seats are rock hard. I really struggle to see the progress in cabin/seats from Omega to Insignia 

I'm told it's fine for long journeys no back ache, but at least when I climb into the Omega it feels comfy and is comfy!

I struggle with getting out of it after an hour or so biggest gripe is that the steering column has enough adjustment to be annoying, but not quite enough to be useful... I know the Omega has fully electric seats, so is a doddle to position just so and the Insignia only has electric height and lumbar, so not a direct comparison, but even so

I quite fancy it's 'big brother' the Honda Leg-end. However, I'm not allowed to buy any more cars without an 'appropriate adult' to guide me.

That's quite understandable!

Yes the Legend and the LS400 ... chip money for a big luxury car .

It's got to be surely the LS430/LS460 the LS400 is looking dated

Well done on getting a good car that suits your needs. If your Accord is as reliable as somebody I know who has had two of them, you will never need a non-service item.

Yup .. Accords were very reliable .. well they were 30 years ago !! Never had a problem with the one I had, and I was commuting Swindon to Doncaster every weekend for 3 years in it ... only got rid of it when on jacking it up to change a slow puncture the jack went straight through the bodywork .. and the wheel never left the ground !!!

New ones are good looking on the outside, but why are their interiors still so poor compared to European?
