It was tested against similar cars by Autobild - it took a second place almost beating the 330i in laptimes...
Please not that the tested Vec tra OPCis the \"old\" 250 bhp version.

Top gear test car had the traction control fuses taken out and the adaptive suspension switched off. I'm sure it would have performed better unmolested.

Yeah Jeremy said he was tempted to call it dangerous. Some of the press liked it though despite the understeer. Driven smoothly on A-roads you can make quick progress.

Yes the German motor press crshed that car..they said it has the tendency to understeer and a very bad suspension. In every test with similar cars (like mazdaspeed 6 or BMW 3) it lost....but i think the insignia opc will turn the tide :)
