But is entry level 1 interior and performance lose to insgignia

Read that drivetrain is uninspiring even with the high output. That's why Opel/GM still lack in fine tuning their drivetrain. With PSA coming in, I doubt it will improve much though 3008/5008 was touted to be better driving feel. I have no doubt the interior finishing will improve following PSA acquisition, probably more quirky just like all Citroen and Peugeot which is good to look at but impractical.

Having say so, one does get a lot for the money spent but buying car is emotional. More buyers will sway towards bare premium entry car than 2nd tier conti cars. Example, 120k for insignia, "i" would prefer A4 2L for "additional" 20+ thousands more....

Certain car is designed in this way for luxury and comfortable acceleration like is 300 , horse is 241 but got smooth acceleration and not very big turbo kick in feeling
U can retune the ecu if u want others . But of course transmission do a big part also

Anyone try to install SG maps to OPEL Intellilink 900? I found it did not come with maps installed.

Yes, it’s not build in as the European version is SatNAv.
Have to be linked with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto via google maps.

You just collected the car recently?

The Opel Insignia really looks good.

Any issues with parts availability for Opel cars in general, or for the Insignia?

Am just 1 year into the ride so will have to go back to AD for servicing.

There’s some workshops that can service Opel cars.

You intending to get one?

14km/lt for diesel engine, if you are going to drive 5 years with high mileage I think it's worth it. And also it's a very comfortable car

High usage, then is the worth. Either diesel or hybrid currently, though EV is the new kid.
