Can anyone explain to me why the Insignia was awarded the 2009 "Car of the Year Award"? The more I read about faulty Vauxhall DMFs and clutches, the more I despair. A pity the senior management didn’t share the same attitude and stopped playing the "wear and tear" get out of jail free card. I have driven around one million miles in my lifetime and taken four separate driving instruction courses, so I am somewhat surprised to find that I appear to be incapable of managing to drive a Vauxhall Insignia for 3,800 miles without the need to replace the dual mass flywheel and clutch at a cost of £1,600. The clutch plate was actually burnt down to the rivets.
