    Hey folks

    A quick question as to the pros/cons of going for an Opel Grandland X or Insignia. Both would be the basic models and they are the only 2 choices available to me.

    Thanks in advance

    Very hard to sell cars now,the market is for the crossover/suv type vehicles

    the insignia, purely on the basis it's not just another terrible suv

    Or pop down to Peugeot garage and buy more desirable original. I'd say insignia will depreciate a lot quicker.

    I’m guessing it’s a company car scenario.


    Personally I’d get the insignia because it’s a sharp looking car.

    They look terrible in base form though but the OP cannot change that.

    Do a test drive and pick whichever you hate least.

    Ya company car so can't choose anything bar those 2. Doesn't sound like there is much difference going by reviews, both average enough. Thanks for comments

    Is the Grand Land as bad as the Mokka? I hope not. My sister has an Insignia and would take it hands down over my mam's Mokka. She's had the displeasure of needing to borrow it a few times. Awful yoke to drive.

    No, the Grandland X is a reskin of the Peugeot 3008, not a cheapie like the Mokka.

    The basic Grandland x seems to be decently equipped to be fair in comparison to the basic insignia.

    Pick the one that you are more comfortable in and suits you best. Myself I like the Grandland X. Sure not a great name but it is a classy looking car both inside and out.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.
