Is the Vauxhall Insignia prone to gearbox trouble?
I am thinking of buying a six month old Vauxhall Insignia 1.4T, but during the test drive I struggled to get it into the gears. After five mins it seemed to be okay. Is this a known issue?

Yes, the Astra J 1.4T had this transmission first and there have been complaints: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/vauxhall/astra-j-200.../
