is that launchcontrol that you use?

@skunkie1989

This is the default setting of the car. There isn't a switch or a software option for this.

hello! what is your average fuel consumption in l/100km? thx

[real3GT]

@nicolas3pa

It's about 6,6 l/100km

with 70% on motorway, 20% in city, 10% on other roads.

Motorway: 130 km/h (2050 RPM in 6th gear), city: 50-70 km/h (1250-1700 RPM in 4th gear), other roads: 80-100 km/h (1300-1650 RPM in 6th gear).

I usually shift about 1750-2000 RPM.

It's a good car, but weighs far too much and 160BHP is eqivalent to driving a 1.7 astra if you take all that extra weight in to consideration. Now GM/Vauxhall are making their own engines and copying the VW idea of small engine with turbo, it's going to be a disaster. The Insignia was a flop in the UK and is in the same rubbish bin as the Ford Mondeo that was driven by sales reps!

200BHP from a 2litre diesel would be far better and give some performance!

@urbex2007 I agree with you: it's too heavy. But on the other side, it's passive safety is better than the Astra. Trade-off. And you're right. A diesel with more power would be pleasant. :)

I don't know the UK price of the Insignia, but in Hungary, there's about 1,5 million HUF (about 4500 GBP) difference between the Insingia and the Passat. It's a large amount of money and I think this is not equal with the quality difference. The Passat don't worth its additional price.

@real3GT I wish I had that on my 1.9cdti Astra

[TheDM75]

so much turbo and its going no where lol

[aspiringdrummer17]

@real3GT Opel/Vauxhall have been working with Saab to develop a 190bhp 'BiTurbo' diesel for the Insignia that was supposed to be introduced in 2010 but due to the recent financial problems with Saab, the introduction of the new engine has been delayed until early next year. Sounds like a great engine though :)

@urbex2007 a flop in the uk! I think you will find it has been anything but.
