Why on earth do they still use these totally outdated engine? Why not the 1.6l Turbo, as the European Version (called “Opel Insignia” here) has?
The 1.6T is available…. but as a manual only, also a 2.0T is available with man/trans.
The 1.6T doesn’t have as much power as this engine, IIRC. The 2.4L is a good option for those who want more power than the standard 2.0L (non-turbo), but don’t want to pony up for the 2.0T.
