Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Imagine thinking an inshitnia is a better buy than literally anything else


It sure as hell is a better car than that little Renault you have on your PFP with the garbage EDC transmission, no front parking sensors, no nothing. Zero redeeming quality other than your hate towards the Insignia.

When I'm looking at cars, I look at things such as how aggressive the gear ratios are, how useful they are towards everyday usage and mind you most Insignia's come with backing cam... etc. I don't fanboy over a certain vehicle.

For you to be so upset over a comment from the internet, I wonder who's fanboying.

Also, I love it when people go for the argumentum ad hominem.

Why would I? Insignia is dog on some parts I'll give you that, but it still isn't literally "worse than anything". Not even close.

They're all probably owned by dorks too so I would probably steer away from them.

I've seen some well maintained Insignias, the cheaper ones yeah... but then again, in the E90 genre, it's extremely hard to find a non-abused one. BMW is far more insulting on that front.

I'll go with somebody who actually has a clue about cars over forum boomers who understand no better than to love old BMWs:
 


Worth checking his content on the aforementioned BMWs, you might learn a thing or two.

And this pretty much sums up why I feel Isuzu is the most beloved, most missed brand from the USA.  GM did them dirty.
