Fifth Gear: Audi S4 vs Vauxhall Insignia VXR

I said it once and I will say it again: Those fang shaped air intakes look absolutely ridiculous. I hate 'em. They make the Insignia look silly.

The S4 is just wonderful. It's fast and unassuming, that's my kind of car.

How much is an S4 comared to a VXR with the same level of kit in both?

[Celes]

If Tiff says he enjoyed driving the VXR that's high praise already. It didn't need to win against the Audi, not that it ever could anyway.

VXR insignia just looks ****e from a side profile. its so boring!

Front and rear look amazing. Can't wait to get one over here.

Concerning the video. Whack a courtney sport remap on it and I'm sure it'll keep up.

The one in their vid is about 5k more iirc.

Hardly a fair comparison then. So £450 for a remap and your easy keeping up with the Audi and saving money

I am not so keen on the looks of the Insignia, I do quite like the tourer (estate) though as looks a little Signum like. Maybe they will facelift the Insignia in a couple of years as they normally seem to do, would be interesting to see what it becomes then..

Out of the two cars I guess I would have the Audi but i begrudge spending big bucks on depreciating assets. I prefer to always wait a few years to get an older one and then sort out the bugs and make it better.

Look no fang intakes

[Big Sig]

If I won the lotto I would 100% buy an insignia VXR.































I would then have my own attraction at Trax where I would run it over with a tank
