I have a 2014 sri cdti ecoflex model...2.0 litre....163 bhp.... literally just had the dpf filter removed and had it remapped as the filter had caused it to over heat 3 times in the 5 and half years of owning the car....never gone wrong otherwise....the remap has taken it to 200bhp with 430nm oc torque....it's like a different car....had to borrow a car while mine was getting fixed and I'm so glad to have it back....it's fantastic on fuel, spacious and comfortable to drive...👌
Just bought a 2015 Elite Hatchback 138bhp 258lbs-ft torque and by far a very nice car enjoyable to drive a the torque is very addictive looking forward to getting it out abroad and seeing what it’s like in different environments
I binge watched a load of your videos at the weekend Barrie. I could watch them all day. :) The commentary of other drivers always make me chuckle ha ha.
Have one of these in black, have it year and a half but mine has a satnav, excellent car I love it. Plenty quick, very economical. Service mine every 8 thousand miles. Got it valeted recently and the guys broke the satnav, supposed to be getting it fixed tomorrow, mine is 140 BHP though
140 BHP sounds like the 1.4 petrol turbo. I've got that engine as well but in a GTC. Never had any trouble from my Vauxhall and the seats are the most comfortable I've had in a car. It's just a bit tricky getting in and out of mine in confined spaces because the doors are huge but that doesn't apply to the Insignia which is a 4 door.
@@friendlyhorseuk7220 No it's a 2.0 CDTI 140 Bhp with 350 NM torque and over boost of 380 NM for 15 seconds when you floor the throttle. Even on the log book it's 140 BHP. I didn't know this facelift model came in 130 bhp I knew the older one did but facelift was upgraded to 140. Great car though
Nice car a little disappointed that 2.0l diesel only puts out 128hp my 1.5 diesel focus puts out 120,used to have a 2004 rover mg 2.0 diesel that put out 130hp
What a lovely Vauxhall Insignia. It's very sad to know now that this beautiful insignia like this one will not longer be able to drive in London due to the so called ULEZ regulations which will require owners of 2014 Insignias like this, to be liable to pay this money grabbing daily £12.50 so called emissions charge. This because diesel cars 2014 downwards are liable to pay to drive in certain parts of London and in October, extending to all parts of London as far as outer London counties. Thank you Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, for making the life of Londoners and non Londoners difficult!!!! This particular 2.0 CDTI Sri diesel Vauxhall is now not worth much in London now because no one wants diesel cars 2014 and below due to this unfair so called ULEZ charge!!!!! On the other hand, the 1.8 litre petrol engine Vauxhall Insignias which are much slower. less beautiful and less fun than the 2.0 CDTi Insignias, are going for ridiculously expensive prices due to demand/supply issues ie more people are looking to buy petrol than diesel cars 2014 and older!!!!
Had a Network Q Insignia Elite quickly moved on out of warranty as they'd spent 5 Grand on it in 12 months, the most problematic car I've had in decades.
@@BarrieCrampton It was for Network Q warranty provider, Clutch DMF Starter Motor, Brake's, AFL Failure, Instruments final straw was a limp home engine failure, traded in for a Civic which has been faultless over 4 year's.
Edward it is an electric switch, not a lever and it also opens from the key without touching the boot at all. You are confusing electric boot release which is what it is, with power open/close, and you are also resorting to insults. Anyhow i hope that clears the matter up for you

How many miles is it at? I’m thinking of buying one at 140k but I’m fearing the oil seal hardening
I just got a 2014 model and there is no ignition? What happens if the battery in the fob dies?
Just bought a 2015 Elite Hatchback 138bhp 258lbs-ft torque and by far a very nice car enjoyable to drive a the torque is very addictive looking forward to getting it out abroad and seeing what it’s like in different environments
Very nice!
Well Sir, I love watching car reviews on RUclips and I must say yours are one of the good, useful and informative ones. Keep up your good work.
Thank you for watching!
Great honest review. As you said not a lot off money for a lot off car .I recently bought one no regrets. Keep up the good work mate
Are they reliable
Yes very
how is your car right now? happy with this car model?

Thanks for watching i really appreciate it, and taking the time to leave a comment is above and beyond the call of duty 👍😎
aber ber same they are so entertaining

Daniel 1 380NM matches a 320d 184bhp for torque albeit for overboost but that’s impressive 👌🏻
@@Mr330d It's quite a punchy thing believe me, it's not exactly fast but it pulls like a train. It's extremely economical too.
You are a great professional. Love your work.
A lot of car for the money 💰👍. Looks sharp.
it sold in less the day after the video went live
this car looks amazing ,very good v/blog
Thanks Craig
Hey Barrie. Great video. Would you recommend the 2.0 cdti insignia or the 1.6 cdti?
Both are good, but i would prefer the 2.0
Iv just bought this exact model. 2014. I pick it up in a few days. Any tips advise?
I have one myself and I like it
really good cars

Do you think that Vauxhall is more a german or a english car?
I'm afraid there wouldn't still be a Vauxhall without their German Counterpart Opel

sounds expensive

Seems really quiet, the interior
very nice cars. in my opinion they drive better than a 3 series
The way your changing gear it like your squeezing it into gear.
Yeee haaa
couldn't have put it better myself
Why does the interior resemble of a Hyundai or Kia
do you think so?
@@BarrieCrampton I do
0 - 60 = 11.1 seconds ? That's slow as...
electric boot release bollocks it is a gas strut only.
The boot catch is an electric switch,
@@BarrieCrampton central locking hardly electric opening you knob. It only releases when you pull the lever.
Edward it is an electric switch, not a lever and it also opens from the key without touching the boot at all. You are confusing electric boot release which is what it is, with power open/close, and you are also resorting to insults. Anyhow i hope that clears the matter up for you
@@BarrieCrampton i have the same car elite version there is no electric release.
Edward the rear boot badge is an electric switch
Boring rep mobile
boring, but drive well and are super economical hence why they are so popular with Reps i guess
@@BarrieCrampton Not boring as some people think. Lot of car for your money with good power outputs with comfort and decent luxury
