Saw in the paper that the Insignia is about 150Kg heavier than a Vectra, which was about 150Kg heavier than a Mk3 Cavalier, which was about 150KG heavier than a MK2. Call it 400Kg or in real money, the equivalent of carrying round 8 large bags of cement all the time

So, expect to see the most common Insignia, the 130bhp CDTi, disappearing in the rear view mirror in the traffic light grand prix  ;D

I suppose the 2.0T will have about the same go as a SRi130 

Don't you love driving light cars?

This has been the way for years look at the 60's mini and now ,more weight = less road noise and of course safer. also all the extra equipment they stick on them

I've just spent 4 days using a Pool Car from work. 

A citroen C5 estate TDi.

I had occassion to drive to Buxton for a Machinery Risk Assessment Course, from North Merseyside, so I did about 200 miles of which 95 was motorway, 70 was A road, 10 was in towns and the rest various Country Lanes.

What do you think the Fuel Consumption was ? Modern 1.9 Variable Nozzle Turbo technology ?

35 mpg !!! 

Now this morning I drove my normal route to work, 14 miles of B roads and country lanes. 

25 MPG !!!! 

> :o :o

Okay so I do insist on overtaking if safe and legal to do so, so I overtook 7 cars this morning, but I've not really been that agressive.  ;D
