Evening all,,,,
Well collected my new motor on Wednesday, 5 weeks early,,, very nice.... I like very much, its a very nice smooth drive, looks very nice in the Rioja Red colour, some of the new toys make a difference,, however,,, very disappointed with Vauxhall on several things.....
The order was New Insignia Elite Nav Grand Sport with some optional extras....
Engine: 2.0 (170PS) Turbo D BlueInjection 6-speed, manual, Colour: Rioja Red Driving Assistance Pack Four, Electrically foldable door mirrors with puddle lights, Cross-Traffic Alert, Sensor Indicator Side Obstacle Detection, enhanced, Rear-view camera, WINTER PACK TWO, Heated leather-covered steering wheel, Heated windscreen, FLEXRIDE, BOSE® PREMIUM SOUND SYSTEM, HEAD-UP DISPLAY.
Overall I am very impressed with the new car,, colour is very good, the car suits it,,, style is good, very comfortable,,, new toys and IntelliLux LED® Matrix headlights are very good
This car is replacing a 2014 Insignia Elite Nav with 9 optional extras,, some of which are now standard in the new Elite Nav.... there are a few differences between the cars:
Some of the differences I do not understand:
Flexride: 2014 version you can link the Driver Information Display to the driving mode so that it changed when you selected Sport or Tour,,, you can't do this in the new car
Nearside mirror pointed down to the rear wheel when reverse was selected,,, doesn't do this in new car
Rear windscreen wiper is a free of charge optional extra on the new car,, this wasn't on the web site when I ordered it,, my new car doesn't have the wiper,,,, however I think the car looks better without it.
A few changes were made to the web site at the start of January 3 weeks after my order was in,, oh well such is life,, but if these items were available why not have them on the website when the car first came out
Driver power seat was £3100 on 18th December,,, dropped 80% to £610 at start of January,,, so no sale !!!!!!!
360 Camera system added in January,, wasn't there in December,, so no sale !!!!
Keyless start and entry was on main page of website,, showed under the standard equipment for the Elite Nav as "Keyless Start".... In January an optional extra for Key Entry and Start was added,, under this option it only shows "Keyless Start",, exactly the same at the standard equipment for the Elite Nav in December... my car has the keyless start but not the keyless entry...... complaint sent to Vauxhall
Car is already booked back into the dealer for a couple, of small issues,,, steering wheel is not centred and car pulls slightly to left.... Heads Up Display is not straight, drops on left by about 3 deg,, and needs to be adjusted ( its like a photo on the wall that's not straight),,, doesn't fill me with confidence when the guy in the service department tells me they don't know how to adjust the HUD as they hadn't seen it before......
Photos to follow as soon as I get some nice ones folk....
happy driving
