Opel Insignia 2008 reviews
Pros: Extremely maneuverable car, handles well in curves and serpentines. It is a great pleasure to drive it, I feel very safe in it. Although it has a modified 1956 engine, I would say that it is not noisy for a diesel engine. It seems that the insulation in my car (2010.y, 2.0, 118kW, 160HP) is good. In the city, consumption can go up to 8l, but it usually ranges between 6.5 and 7.2l. On the highway at a speed of 120km/h, consumption is between 4.2 and 4.5. In fifth gear at 80 - 90km/h, it consumes under 4l. The interior of the car is pretty good. My family is very happy with the car and I will have a problem if I want to sell it :))
Cons: When you buy this car, be sure to change the oil pump seal. It´s very cheap, around €10, and if you don´t replace it, it can wreak havoc on your engine worth €1,000 to €2,000. The oil pump seal is changed every 150,000km.
