Anyone here got a Vauxhall Bi-Turbo 195ps Insignia? I'm off to test drive one tomorrow, may get it depending on a few things.

Its the Insignia SRi NAV with the bi-turbo 195 engine and 20" rims. Its had every other upgrade possible as well. Was the managers car. What does everyone think of Insignia's? And more importantly the engines in them.

Meant to be pretty reasonable cars from what I've read, but nothing on engines that comes to memory...

It's certainly a big step from the Vectra and brings it much more into line with the class leaders at that price point.

I wonder what the ride quality is like on 20" alloys? Probably not something I'd choose given the dire state of some roads these days.

The car has Vauxhalls Flexride tech as well. Set the car to the road type for better handling

Depends what the profile is, they have massive wheel arches.

still feel like 18's are as big as i'd go, they aren't going to be THAT big are they?

The tyres are 245/35 R20

On a side note just spotted on the Vauxhall site a New Insignia listed. . . . Hmm

When I had my VXR the 20s were fine.
The insignia itself is a nice comfy place to be when driving.

My only problem with it was how wide it was. It was not something I was used to. You park at Tesco and you take up the whole space leaving barely any room to get in/out if there is someone next to you lol
