Is a 2013 Insignia a good car?

Is Insignia a hatchback or saloon?
It’s hard to tell the difference between a hatchback and saloon Insignia – the hatchback has a rear wiper, the saloon doesn’t – which in some respects limits the appeal of the saloon version, as four-door models of family cars have tended to look more upmarket than their hatchback equivalents.
When did Insignia change shape?

Should I buy a Mitsubishi insignia?
Dynamically, things are much better. The Insignia has meaty steering, corners sharply and generally feels good to drive. The only weak point here is the ride, which refuses to settle down properly, even on the motorway (and which transmits too much tyre noise), which must surely be an Achilles’ heel for a car whose raison d’être is long haul trips.
How safe is the Opel Insignia?

Is the Mercedes-Benz insignia a good car?
If I’ve given the impression that the Insignia isn’t a good car, well, that’s simply not the case.
