Would you recommend the Opel Insignia?

Would you recommend the Opel Insignia car? Interested in buying one 2012+, but understand they have a bad reputation and would be likely to cost me money on repairs.

Hi Tony,

To be honest, we've never heard any major horror stories about the Insignia, and in general it seems to be a mostly reliable car. There are reported issues with the central locking and alarm system, and persistent leaks in the boot, but aside from that, as long as you buy one with a full service history, you should be fine.
