I have images of the 'Wagon Queen Family Truckster' in metallic Pea.

But seriously, I don't think I've actually seen (or noticed) an Insignia on the road yet, how long have they been on sale for?

Have you been driving recentley and felt sleepy for no apparent reason?

You probably just passed one. Where was it styled, Eastbourne?

Ok,

Engine, resonable for a 2.0d quite peppy but f0r 3500miles its very clattery.

Interior, not that great, controls are duplicated between the dash and the center console. general feels almost there, but not quite. "A bit plasticy" and a bit of a mix and match, the heater control area looks like an after thought.
The seats aer incredible hard and difficult to get right, though heated seat temps are good.

Driving, It feels like your sat in a kitchen stool, whilst driving a cart the suspension is hard coupled with the seats not a good combo.
Rear passenges complain of travel sickness after a short while regardless of driving style, I think this is the ride and seats combo again. not fun for the kids!

Parking sensors are a pre requisite as the visibility is poor.

So far 4/10 its rep fodder made to look sexy by the adverts.

Im going to try to stick allot of miles on it this weekend, however I preffer the 320d so far...
