@@saas675 I would like to know why Comments are so different in Terms of the Automatic Gearbox.. What's your opinion about it that it's terrible? Is it Slow in Gear changes? Upshift or Downshift?
I have a Insignia OPC sportstourer (yes is a station wagon). I think is the perfect sleeper car. There are some SUV Porsche owner still crying out can confirm ;)
I think this is the best sounding V6 in GM's HFV6 lineup. It has a deep sound compared to the high-revving raspiness of other NA V6 on this GM's V6 lineup. Really nice car with a reasonable and powerful engine!
the most important thing - AUTOMATIC GEARBOX SUCK....... manual transmission has ~6s 0-100. when you bying OPC you need to buy manual version if you want pretty quick car
Have you ever worked on those cars ? The Aisin AW80-SC was specifically designed for cramped engine bays. The transmission is only 14 inches long. I doubt a DSG would have fit. Of course a manual transmission is better. And it was available ! So if the owner decide to buy the automatic version, he gets a very, very robust, miniature 6 speed auto. The Manual version was slightly cheaper and a DSG option, if doable, would have been easily 2 to 3 grand more. This is not a sports car, this is a rushed gentleman saloon.
In America we never got the 2.8 we got the Buick Regal gs which is the same car as this opel. It had a 2.0 ecotec 4 pot pushing 259 horsepower and 295 pound foot of torque.
Its actually 275hp I believe . I have a 13 regal gs. Would love a tune for it. Especially since it will get rid of the boost limiting in 1st gear. It can boogie alright for a 2.0. Beautiful looking and handling car. Of course right after I bought mine....a manual trans one popped for sale by me. Grrr.
When the OPC if stock, then it is not the fastest car, but if you do tuned that, then it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing like my OPC...It´s an amazing and powerful car.
Stage 2 brings it upto about 400 HP which is pretty decent. Automatic transmission is a holdback though. With a DSG auto or a manual transmission 400 HP would make much more difference in 0-100 time. Still pretty quick after 160 Km/h and a monster after 200 Km/h 👍
@@almatt8310 You can easily forget 400 hp in Stage 2. This is not possible. The original turbocharger is not designed for the performance. And on top of that, a whole lot of hardware such as downpipe, intercooler, etc. has to be replaced. Not to mention the higher fuel pressure. Most have no idea about tuning. They hear something and think that would work then...
Would like to know if this Transmission Change Gears itself when you have it in Manual Mode once you Reached 6.500 RPM? And does it Change Gears Faster then it would be with a Manual Transmission?
@@leviathan5207 Yes.. I thought so. What I find Strange though is that all Gears are having a Shortr Ratio then the Manual.. Except the 6 Gear is Longer then the Manual.. Wtf? Why would an Automatic have a Longer Last Gear. I think the Manual 6 Gear is too Short. I Drive One..
do you or any of you have some information on its upkeep? I checked a non OPC 2.8 v6t tourer for a decent price (my other option is a 5 years older Accord Type S wagon, for barely less)
Electronic suspension adjustable in three levels, OPC has a harder third setting than the standard models. The suspension is connected to the gearbox, the four-wheel drive, the engine and the steering, everything can be changed with a button in the way you want, it is programmable. In addition, in OPC mode the instrument lighting becomes red, Insigna was the first car that could change the color of the instruments.
I have this car and max I achieved was 255 km/h on Unlimited facelift version with automatic gearbox (everything stock). Now, I am not an expert in driving or tuning but I suppose it can never reach the 300 mark.
@@MrRohanThomas I've got the facelift opc with automatic and after remapping to stage 1 (365 hp) it is a much quicker car and also doesn't burn as much fuel as it did before. The automatic holds more torque than the manual without mods.
@@muldix No it isn't, but it's much more reliable. I still own one and it's the general consensus among the Vectra community. My father in law owns a insignia and it's just crap, many things have failed on it.
@@stiggyness1976 I have Insignia, 1.6 turbo sport tourer though, 180 hp. I wanted something spacey for family but also something a bit faster and fun to drive than usual family cars.

Usual maintenance and good care and nothing fails. Last time I had a general maintenance mechanic said engine is as good as it had only 60 thousand kilometers and I can definitely hope to drive it up to 500k if I keep maintaining it. So where does these fairy tales come from about insignia and some failures?? I have the fucking car, why does it never fail or break? Maybe because I treat it well and maintan properly?
