Vauxhall Insignia 1.8SRi....

Hey all..

Anyone own one of the above!?

We got one last week as a hire car while waiting for my OHs company car, and it is horrible! It is slow and sluggish, the fuel consumption is really bad and today e drove 9 miles, only for it to show as using 21 miles on the fuel gauge monitor.

The car is brand new, was delivered last week having done 850 miles, and we had to fill it up on Sunday having done less then 300 miles.

Is this normal!? We have phoned the hire company and asked them either to have a look at it or replace it for something else.

Ta!

Strangely enough I had one as a hire car for a day when my company car was in for a service. I wasn't keen and found it not as quick as my 2.0 Mondeo diesel. As regards fuel consumption new cars tend to be a bit thirsty when new till things loosen up a bit.
