High mark-up considering that the only differences concernraised trim 2 cm and protezioni in raw plastic for the body. Let's find out together I strengths и defects this model.
city
Before starting the analysis Opel Insignia Country Tourer we must proceed from a fundamental concept: we are talking about one station wagon very bulky (4,92 meters long) and quite heavy (almost 1.800 kg). This explains the difficulty of parking (despite Sensors front and rear series do not have much visibility) and a slightly burning shot (9,9 seconds at "0-100").
Among the positive aspects, we note protezioni in raw plastic (very useful in case of “touch”) and large comfort on the holes (thanks bus from the shoulder, not too lowered: 45).
Outside the city
La Opel Flagship Country Tourer 2.0 CDTI object of our road test this is not - as we already wrote - the lightning of war, but engine turbodiesel with a capacity of 170 hp and a torque of 400 Nm is quite elastic (it gives an interesting response already below 2.000 rpm).
Glued to the asphalt, but not very maneuverable when cornering, it sets Speed six-speed manual with a beautiful short lever and one steering with an adequate response to the type of vehicle.
шосе

head autonomy: The house claims mileage of 1.554 km with a full tank, but in reality - due to the weight high body - you easily cross over 1.000.
Life on board
Despite the significant external dimensions, Opel Insignia Country Tourer our road test there are pros and cons under the heading “versatility”: if it’s true that the extra-large sofa easily accommodates three passengers (who also have a lot of inches for their heads), then it’s equally true that we expected more space from a family member of almost five meters leg length for rear passengers. IN trunk (540 liters, which becomes 1.530 when the rear seats are folded) has the correct shape: deep, but not very exploitable in height.
Le finish they are neat but dashboard и steering wheel there are many (too many) buttons. Thus, the controls are not very intuitive: to adjust the temperature air conditionerfor example, there are two small touch screen which do not always recognize finger pressure, and it is also difficult to perform a simple operation on navigator how to enter an address.

La Warranty only tribute to anni unlimited mileage (minimum required by law) and consumption they are quite high: the German manufacturer claims 22,2 km / l, but it is impossible to stay above 20, and only with a moderate driving style on a liter of diesel engine it is possible to drive more than 15 kilometers. For preservation of value la station wagon Teutonic protects itself well: however, we remind you that the 2008 model year of birth is approaching retirement.
