For The combination of four-wheel drive and V6 power gives strong performance and very good traction, while the car has a suitably lavish specification.

There are dozens of versions of the Vauxhall Insignia to choose from. The trim levels include Exclusiv, ES, SRi, SE and Elite, and there are special edition versions on top of that. We'd recommend Exclusiv – all the essential kit at a reasonable price.

The choices won't stop there, though, because there are also eight engines to choose from, with a wide range of petrol and diesel units, including some low-CO2 Ecoflex units. There are even some four-wheel-drive versions.

The Insignia looks great, has a nicely trimmed cabin for a car of this price and offers premium-car features, such as adaptive damping, nine-pattern automatic headlamp beam adjustment and speed limit recognition and display.

Ultimately, though, it's more about motorway comfort and stability than country-lane precision. The Mondeo can do both and is more capacious.
