My first 'build to spec' ever, but means it's perfect for me.

When I take some better pics I will share.

Very, very happy with this, significant upgrade from the 1.6 and loads of nice little improvements in every area (as well as obvious the big one in power).

EDIT: Guess I need to update my signature!

Awesomesauce!

Collected my new Insignia Grand Sport this morning. The colour is Darkmoon Blue, which looks great in the bright sunshine we are experiencing at the moment. Feels like a good step forward from the old car. You can definitely feel the longer wheelbase and wider track on the road.

Looks smart

It looks very smart (well done vauxhall on that, it does look good), but i do hate this trend toward expensive tyres on cars like this. With the combination of Vauxhall insisting on belt driving their engines and things like that, they really are narrowing in on the running costs of more premium stuff.

Much nicer looking than the old one, that. Looks a lot like the Mazda 6, with a hint of BMW E63. I look forward to trying one as a hire car some time

When I got my 2010 Elite it came with Contisport tyres. Deal in place with Continental? Can't say they were the best tyre for the car as I changed them later to different ones and the handing felt much better.

I actually did a double take thinking it was a 6 series

What is wrong with the rear window glass?

What is wrong with the rear window glass?

It's tinted (or am I missing something?).

 

[wedrum]

Does look very Bmw
Those wheels are terrible though

The door has two bits of glass and the rear quarter is another bit of glass, so three bits of glass together, looks like if you open the door with the window down you have 3/4 of the door with the window open and the back 1/4 with glass still in it?

It does look like that's the case, well noticed. Odd choice from Vauxhall!

 

[Joe T]

I wonder if the shape of the rear door wouldnt allow the full width of the window to drop? I'll check it out later and see if there's anything else I spot.

 

[Firestar_3x]

That would be my guess, must have been a late spot in the design process and too costly to solve.

Good looking car externally though.

 

[Alibaba99]

I guessing that the intrusion from the rear wheel arch would prevent the glass from dropping if the window was full length.

Possibly limits it but more likely to be the door handle package not clearing the glass barrel.
