SRi 2.0 CDTi (160ps) 4dr Saloon

Stylish car which if it had a different badge would be desired by others

Although many people complain about the Vauxhall Insignia I think they are often moaning because they think it is normal too.

Having had a Vectra, and then a 2012 Astra the Insignia is such a different vehicle. The Astra was quieter and more economical but hey I look like an old person in it. My SRi is the VXline with big wheels in sparkly black and in the booted version. In my mind I think it is not dissimilar in styling to the CLS. Yes it does not have room for a top hat in teh back, yet when I owned my lovely Kangoo everyone said it was teh Pope mobile. So people are never happy.

But when clean I think it does look better than 'just a Vauxhall'. The interior is great and again bemoaners talk about all teh buttons, but yet have no problem with keyboards, I find no problem with it.

I even get 55mpg out of as an average over 25,000 miles in 8 months on all conditions.

In fact people I know with Beemers and Audis say that my car is really nice, but don't tell anybody I said so.

The only thing I find annoying is the road noise, but then the guy who had it before did put on teh bling 19" alloys, which look good but..

Would I get another, yes
