I think cost is the comparison. When they compared the the new 408 and Mazda, they were more contender for the VXLine, but ?I think the elite was used so the VX lost points on looks. The others had big nice wheels, where the VX had normal looking ones

In my little mind I still think comparison road test are a bit of fun for the tester , but if was in the market for a new car I would be straight down the dealer and asking for an extended road test as in the end it's a lot of my money to be spending on a whimsical road test .
But about the comparison above the 2 up against the insignia are both from the same group of companies and by looks they do look a bit ugly and interior wise the same .
The insignia stands out in my mind because it looks different and it dares to be different which thease days is nothing bad ,
I never really liked the insignia B but compared to the VAG cars the insignia wins hands down
Maybe nothing to do with the thread but I thaught I would put my ore in !
Sorry Peter for spoiling your thread .

Quite the opposite, Lizzard-t, I don't think any thoughtful post 'spoils' a thread, and fully agree that a few hundred words can't replace a long term comparison.
I've never really subscribed to the 'VW is great' school of thought, and have never understood why the Passat has never offered a hatch option (likewise the Jaguar XE, which has a body style perfectly suited to a hatch, and would have been in my shortlist had they offered that option).
I really love the styling of the Insignia GS, and find the Skoda pretty ugly (I think it's the grille, reminiscent of the Kia style), but have never had the experience of owning a Skoda. From what I read, they seem to be popular and high in customer satisfaction, so maybe next time...?2018 1.5T SRi Nav
