The Opel Astra OPC is fast, well designed and built, and is a whole lot of fun to push hard down a winding road. It’s sophisticated, loaded with features and serene enough to be liveable on a day-to-day basis....

For dynamics, the Insignia has the up-specced i45 and stylish Optima shot to bits. Both the wagon and sedan are also more refined, and with a more sporting soul, than the equivalent but soon-to-be replaced Mazda6.
