A few years ago, shortly after the Insignia launch I think, I had the use of one (hatch) for a week as a courtesy car - same engine as the one you mention I think, but manual. I was impressed too, although it still suffered from the nagging feeling of disconnection from the road I always get in post-90s Vauxhalls. It was vastly better than an Astra H I rented at a similar time, hated the clutch pedal on that thing, felt like dead sponge, and it squeaked.
I thought about trying the Insignia out again when I was going through my "change" recently. But they have insufficient badge for 'er indoors. Tricky job, getting the right amount of badge. Not too little, not too much you see.
