The Opel/Vauxhall/Buick/Holden Insignia/Regal/Commodore has already been evaluated by most journalists as a fairly dull & unremarkable car:
Marek Drives https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7LZnv7EDUs "The Insignia is proof, it is still possible to design a vague, rubbery long-throw (manual) gearbox. The air-conditioner is too loud, even in it's weakest setting."
Redline reviews https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wb1sY98tjmY "Nice driving average commuter car."

So isn't "Commo-bore" -- while blunt -- the correct and logical assessment you would expect?

If you are going to buy a bland mid-sized car, why not buy a Skoda Superb? It comes with a longer warranty.
