I've tried the Insignia - it's horrible. Almost everything about it was annoying - poor visibility, terrible mirrors, generally ugly, lot's of VERY annoying "safety"features.
I'll have a look when the weather picks up.scoobyh123 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 29, 2019 8:45 amAll of those answers Chris!
I know the car is new so you won't be doing the oil changes etc, was just curious to know if it still had a sump plug.
This does too but you can switch them off. Though you need to do that on every journey, I was finding the lane assist annoying on Sunday as it nudges the steering if it thinks you're too close to the white lines.Richard Moss wrote: ↑Tue Jan 29, 2019 5:59 pmI've tried the Insignia - it's horrible.

Thanks Chris, no hurry, just idle curiosity on my part.CHR15E wrote: ↑Tue Jan 29, 2019 7:08 pmI'll have a look when the weather picks up.scoobyh123 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 29, 2019 8:45 amAll of those answers Chris!

I know what you mean, that's life/progress I guess.scoobyh123 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 30, 2019 9:50 amNot sure i could tolerate a car that "nannies" me all the time! That Lane Assist would be incredibly annoying round here, very often you have to drive very close to the white line or even over it to avoid potholes.
As for the Insignia, i don't think i've known a car that is so universally disliked for so many different reasons!
