My Insignia Grand Sport SRi Nav

[marko301]

Well after weeks of feeling like a kid waiting for Christmas, It finally arrived!

My brand spanking new Insignia Grand Sport SRi Nav with a couple of optional extras, 18" bi colour wheels and front and rear parking sensors. The car comes with lots of toys so should keep me busy playing over the weekend.



I'll get more photos soon but this one will do for now. That's the car sat waiting to be picked up from the dealer.

Staying with the best colour too I see, enjoy! #thumbsup

Very nice. Sadly I don't like the look of the tourer which is why I've looked elsewhere

Thanks chaps! I highly recommend them. The kit is excellent. The ghost pulling you back into lane if you stray is gonna take some getting used to though.

Congratulations on getting it. I look forward to seeing some more pictures and reading your thoughts on it as you put on the miles. Enjoy! #thumbsup

Watch out when passing cyclists or road debris.

So what toys does it have then? I do like toys...

I really do like the new Insignia, if only it had come out a year earlier....

Have you had a chance to test the LED Matrix lights in the dark yet? My F10 has adaptive Xenons but I had the new G30 with LED headlights for a few days and they were even better they way they could split the beams etc.

Good point. You do need to be going around 40mph before lane keep assist comes into play and a little flick of the indicator prevents it activating. Also pedestrian detection and collision alerts activate first by warning light and then by braking if you don't act fast enough.

So what toys does it have then? I do like toys...

It's not so much toys you can play with , though getting the nav, android auto and shop (like an app store) should keep me busy ...It's more toys like the ones above where you need to learn how and when they work

Sadly I couldn't push to the matrix lights. They were over £1000 extra. I have to make do with the halogens. I've already changed the stock bulbs for Philips white vision xenon effect. Of course, nowhere near xenon but a hell of a lot better than the yellow bulbs vx like to put in their cars. The good news is the rear tailgate lights work in the B even without the front matrix leds. Unlike the facelift where they only worked if the car was fitted with afl.

Very nice Marco, have you seen any others on the road yet apart from yours? I haven't seen any.

The lane departure issue....you should be indicating anyway!!

Although not directed at me, about a month ago I saw an emerald green one heading North-East along the A11 near Red Lodge.
Also last week saw a red one heading West along the A14 near Histon.

Jumping on the band wagon, I saw the local dealership parking one up to advertise at the local supermarket last week (emerald green SRI) and I overtook one today on the M3 (black SRI Turbo D with the 20" wheels)
