Has anybody got one yet or ordered one?

Probably best waiting 12 months until they come onto the used market...

This is an SRi diesel that I saw at the dealers. About £21k these.

20" wheels, looks the part...

I must admit I do like the look of them.....much more attractive than the new superb IMO.

I have another 2 years until I'm back in the market. Hopefully, the second hand market will be well established by then.

I'm very pleased with my '04 plate Vectra Elite; It's got all the bells and whistles. I'd like to stay at a similar trim level if I can afford it next time around.

Those tyres wont be cheap to replace every 14 to 18 K :shock:

The new Superb is miles ahead of the Insignia

I'm most upset with my tyre man if I get less than 30k.....and he knows it.

As a private car it's the nutz, as a cab it's small in the back and passengers will have to lean forwards sitting in the back, not ideal.

car dealers get confused when i view a car, they open th edrivers door for me and i open the back and get in/out...

amazing how many "big" cars have that swoopy roof line than means only midgets and charles the first could get in easy...

this is typical

http://www.whatcar.com/car-review-pictu ... T=2912&U=0 Had a look at the dealers. Some nice design touches flared over front doors coupe' styling. I think they lack rear headroom for taller passengers. The front end looks like a cheap east asia product.
