Wait till you have had it over a year and then you may well change your mind about the Insignia. The 'suck it and see' quote just about reflects the car as well.

I gave the insignia 4x4, I use the suck on mirrors also. So far very happy with the car and it is a good tow car also.

Hi , I use argus universal towing mirrors on mine , fit well has 2 clamps on the top & a rubber strap with buckle that fits underneath . I previously had milenco aero's but couldnt get them to fit properly ( the top clamp was to thick to fit between housing & mirror glass) . Dont be put off the insignia.The 2.0 diesel with 160hp is a peach of a motor. Mine's 2 years old with 44,000 miles on it I LOVE IT !! 36mpg towing 1400kg single axle caravan 42mpg solo . Its an effortless motorway mile muncher & comfortable all day long. Only regret is not getting the 4x4 version !

Our Vectra has sloped mirrors and the strap mirrors just fell off and the suction ones pulled the glass clean out of the mirror. Ended up buying aero by milenco. Blooming expensive but great mirrors.
But not as expensive as watching my two previous types slide down the road.
