For cruise aficionados the new BMWs not only apply the brakes to maintain set speed they also have a 10mph jump function - entering a 40 from a 30 - just one click.  Brilliant.

Similar to My Merc ..... 5 mph jump though  (MB forum rave about Distronic ..... that's not fitted to mine  )

steady, they'll do away with the driver altogether, if we're not carefull. yes i know its coming, but who tf wants to be driven by a computer? unless its at driver discretion of course...

[omega3000]

My guess is we would be surprised at how many would happily jump into a car , press a button for destination and do no driving at all 

[05omegav6]

Trouble is that Computers are only as good as the people that programs them

If I ever learn C+++ god help us all

Yep, I use cruise a lot as well.

Set to legal speed limit where speed cameras are present, set to whatever is displayed on the gantry on average speed monitoring zone and sometimes just to get the circulation back in my legs on the motorway. 

The thing I find un-predictable are rain sensing wipers, which I am constantly over-ruling.

they could do with the one-touch function still available, without having to set the washers off and the wipers for 3strokes. They do seem to nod off.

Although the omega ones are way better than on her old 07 golf td. They'd go off for no reason on a bright sunny day, and not come on at all when pressing down. Random sensing wipers more like.

You name it, and the Insignia's got it

Handling. The Insignia is reasonably good, but not a patch on a 15yr old Omega.
A proper handbrake, even if the Omega's one is shit, its still better than the tripe the Insignia has.

i bet it hasnt got as much cash left in the bank as the omega has.

what year and  model is it?

2011 SE Nav Sports Tourer.

Christ almighty 11k used from a dealer according to parkers.

i should hope it makes custard as well for that money.

2k more and thats vxr8 territory.


Bah...I'll keep my 8k in the bank thanks. WWD indeed.

Depreciation. The Insignia will be worth about a bag of chips in a few years time

Then we can all buy them and belong to the Insigniaowners Forum!

I may have already said that the replacement for my Omega may well be an Insignia diesel .

Yup, me.

As long as, when the mood takes me, I could jump back in the drivers seat.

[tunnie]

Ohhh how I'd love to get a Monaro then.

Not only would you have 1/2 an engine, it would use the wrong fuel too

I didn't say what the replacement for the other Omega would be , esp if my mortgage is paid off by then

[omega3000]

Someone who has supercharged his, to around 600bhp. Gets an average of 28mpg
