    Hi all,

    I have just purchased a 63 plate Insignia Energy 1.8 in Black. I know it may be under powered but the it drives well and I got a great deal. Added bonus is that it has only done 15k miles.

    Is there any quirks that I should keep my eye on ?

    the 1.8 being a non turbo petrol shouldn't have many issues, most of the issues on the insignia are turbo or diesel related

    post up some photos of the car

      It's not underpowered. It's about average compared to all the other cars on the roads.
      You just have to be prepared to downshift a couple of gears and use the revs if you want a burst of acceleration.

      Being a fairly simple car mechanically (no turbo, no DPF) I wouldn't expect major problems.

      Oh - and Hi!

        Hi,

        Had a 1.8 Energy for just under 3 years and it never missed a beat. Yeah you have to work it a little harder at times but its well capable and quite nippy if you use the gears as they're meant to be used.

        Get some photos of it posted when you can!

                          Pedal box helps to eliminate any hesitation from the accelerator pedal.

                              Is the Pedal Box one of these ?
