Got my V60 T6 3 months ago and I have to say I´m quite impressed with it. Plenty of power, very good comfort and lots of useful electronic gizmos. Feels very solid with no rattles or squeaks so far. Like the reviewer said, it´s not a sports car but it handles really well with good balance, and the torque vectoring works well when pushing it through corners. 4C chassis makes a difference too. I think it is overall a nicer, albeit less sporty car than the Insignia OPC and I don´t regret buying it.
Ordered a T6 last week, I find it a nice balance of comfort and power. Also, the quality/feel of the interior is ahead of Opel, and the new safety systems are pretty cool. The price is similar as well. And not to forget, an inline 6 is in my opinion the best engine configuration available.
@Olafhanks We are not comparing prices here, we are comparing cars and car classes. It doesn't matter if the Opel is 20k cheaper than an A6, its just worse and thats what we were talking about. Seeing it from a "reasonably priced car" view i'd still not take the Insignia and rather get a 5-6 Months old 5-Series with 30-40% rebate. Same or lower price then, better car.
@ThirdLife86 To my knowledge the Volvo warranties with Heico tuning is only available in Germany and Luxemburg, but I might be wrong. Anyway, the Polestar gives me the same power, and if I want Heico accessories (the 4-pipe exhaust for example) I can buy that anyway. As long as Volvo has transversely mounted engines I doubt we will see a much better/stronger transmission, there is no room for it, especially not with an inline 6.
@ThirdLife86 You're right, an Insignia is no comparison to an Audi A6, and certainly not to a rear wheel drive 5-series with razorsharp steering or the Mercedes-Benz E class, which offers an unmatched high level of comfort and space. Technically the Insignia has the same layout as an A6. Engine is placed in front of the front axle. Front wheel drive in normal versions, 4wd as an option, and 4wd standard on the sports versions. But the Audi is way more refined and of higher quality.
@ThirdLife86 Yes, but I think I will go for the Polestar 329hp/480nm when it gets available (probably before I get my new car...). Then I will retain all factory warranties, insurance compliance etc.
@ddelin100 Doesn't Heico retain warranties as well ? I like the black rims they sell for the S60. Fits very well along with those four exhaust pipes. This way the S60 looks really Badass :D I'm just missing higher tunes. I mean why not have a high-performance 400 HP S60 ? :( I'd be first in line to get that one. (Hopefully with a proper gearbox then, Geartronic is quite sluggish).
@Olafhanks Okay, but if you want to compare an Insignia to a 5 Series or A6 it loses any duel hands down. It'd have to compete with a 550i or an S6. If i want a car in THAT class it'll surely not be an opel. Not that its a bad car, but its just not the same.
@Olafhanks Opel itself sets its Insignia against the A4 and 3 Series BMW. Same class like Volvos V60. Sorry to say dear fanboy, but the Opel is just too fat for being sporty. It wants to be, it looks like, but it isn't.
@DslStudio I don't think its cheap. At least not compared to the Corsa you're driving. :) I'm not a fan of any car maker...i buy which fits the most things in for the money i have. Would drive an Audi as well as a BMW or Mercedes. But if i have to spend 40-50k on a car, then i can definitely get better ones than an Insignia. 60k is already M3 or C63 League. If you're choosing that Opel over an C63 you're the fanboy here, not me.
@ThirdLife86 Why you talking about that? the Opel Insignia OPC is a fine Car. The Volvo too. The Insignia is so expensive as a VW Passat and that is good. Opel Insignia is VW Passat, Ford Mondeo Class. And more brought the Insignia not. And, in a AutoBild Test Opel Insignia vs new Mercedes C-Class had the Insignia good Cards. Opel can build Premium-Cars. And more brought Opel not. GM is a Joke, HUMMER and Saab has GM sold. And without Opel, GM would bust. So is it. Have a Nice Day.
@jojujube123 Do you really think an Insignia has more technology in it than any current 5 Series ? Thats probably one of the most bullshitty things i've ever heard of.
ThirdLife86@ this is a big mistake from the international press.insignia body index is 4.83m and combi 4.90 m!!! BMW 3 er is only 4.55 m Audi A4 the same!!! BMW 5 er E60 is 4.84,5m Mercerdes new e class is 4,86cm Volvo V60 is vs.insignia ridiculously 4.62,8. Volvo V60,BMW 3 er Audi A4,Mercedes C-Class is to short four insignia. Is not the right class four insignia!!! Insignia Body Index is a Class higher and is clear that insignia have more kg.a Volvo V60!!!
@DslStudio Why do I get the feeling you about 15 years old, don´t have a drivers license, an definitely are to poor to buy any of these two cars ? And lose the Caps Lock when writing, you will appear older and more mature then.
wel lekker incognito die volvo.. je ziet t totaal niet in tegenstelling tot die Insignia. nieuwe auto van Blik op de Weg is deze T6 in 't zwart. zou zelf ook als ik een sportwagen in een stationcarjas zou willen voor een RS4, liefst RS6 gaan. maarja, deze kosten wss. de helft minder
Volvo>GM any day, all day. And let's not forget that the V60 R-Design (The one with 325 hp, 355 lb-ft of torque) is also available and that was the one meant to be be sporty. In Summation, the Volvo kicks the Opel's ass.
@DslStudio Well. Actually i do drive a Volvo. And i can spell. Go back to school, learn how to write and spell and don't annoy people on youtube. Thanks a lot. Funny to see what kind of "fans" opel has. Most of them can't spell basic words apparently. Coincidence ?
Wasn´t there better music for this review than the crap we listen to at the beginning? Sounds like someone burping. And no, the comparison is not funny, because the music (??) is bothersome.
the opel have 200 kg more at volvo is no wonder .stupped car test!!! the opel is a bigger with volvo v60. Insignia bodyindex is with volvo 80 series not 60 series. insignia is a very nice and great car. volvo have look four grandfather car.
@visiteur00000 Since i a) do not own any of the here bespoken cars and b) never have said that more expensive = automatically better. I think i don't have any penis problem. I can judge that matter on objective basis not subjective and being all mopey just because my opel that i recently bought seems to be worse than a far more expensive car (which is not a shame). If you wanna be smart next time, just take a little more time to read and actually comprehend what other people write.
Volvo looks like a bad copy for e class in the front ant have a back of a hearse . Insignia is the beauty of the class. St or hatchback but not sedan. That shape is ugly in the back. Exactly like the s 60 sedan .

Eeeeuh eerst 7sec 0-100 voor de opel? En dan is het ineens 6.3
@Raaaiin ik denk dat 1 broodje voor de cameraman bedoeld is ;D

als je een sportwagen in een stationcarjas wil moet je een audi rs4 of rs6 kopen, het meeste sportwagen in een stationcarjas dat er is.

@visiteur00000
I don't. Do you ? Or why is this the only thing you've picked to talk about from my post ?

@ddelin100
And if you'd want more sportyness you could always opt for a Heico tune :)

Is not the right class four insignia!!!

@ThirdLife86
wen you compare a bmw 5 er audi a6,mercedes e class with opel insignia exactly with the same price is opel insignia clear favorit !!!
what are they saying, ?
als ik de laatste opmerking aan de einde van de verhaal hoor dan moet ik concluderen dat de Volvo toch net wat beter is, luxe en ook nog eens sneller.
Een goede video, maar vreselijke muziek erbij. Dit is echt niet om aan te horen.
Voor de rest wel awesome :)
@DslStudio

volvo forever 💗
ik heb ooit een insignia OPC getest, en toen heb ik 5.9 sec 0-100 getest (vlakke weg)
Volvo v60 t6
wel lekker incognito die volvo.. je ziet t totaal niet in tegenstelling tot die Insignia. nieuwe auto van Blik op de Weg is deze T6 in 't zwart. zou zelf ook als ik een sportwagen in een stationcarjas zou willen voor een RS4, liefst RS6 gaan. maarja, deze kosten wss. de helft minder
Begin muziekje is een beetje vies...
@plip1995 agree
v60 polestar
Volvo>GM any day, all day. And let's not forget that the V60 R-Design (The one with 325 hp, 355 lb-ft of torque) is also available and that was the one meant to be be sporty. In Summation, the Volvo kicks the Opel's ass.
Volvo vs Opel ? go compare Opel with Renault Fiat etc 😏
@visiteur00000
But you just did talk about it again ! :O Now i'm worried.
Opel insignia opc is the best! I like volvo too but opel is opel and is very sporty and volvo not!
Opc rules
een ding ik weet zeker dat de lotus carlton sneller is
@DslStudio
Well. Actually i do drive a Volvo. And i can spell. Go back to school, learn how to write and spell and don't annoy people on youtube. Thanks a lot.
Funny to see what kind of "fans" opel has. Most of them can't spell basic words apparently. Coincidence ?
Die opel kan veel sneller naar de 100 namelijk 5,5 seconden
Opel is so ugly... the front looks clumsy and the interior is just opel boring
Wasn´t there better music for this review than the crap we listen to at the beginning? Sounds like someone burping. And no, the comparison is not funny, because the music (??) is bothersome.
my grandpa 2:51
@visiteur00000
Sounds like a deal ;)
@DolleHengst ASSOL OPEL IS BETTER!!!!!!!!

Ja de opel kan veel sneller naar de sloop, wat een lelijke trage bak en gelukkig bijna falliet.
Totaal geen match voor de volvo for life.
VOLVO FTW
FUCK OPEL!
volvo rock 💪💪💪
fuck opel
