auto VXR8

Those 2 words should not be used together.

You drive an auto Omega or two besides try and find a manual one

I drive an auto Omega because the manual variant has such a horrible box (IMHO)

The Tremec box isn't much better, having driven two manual VXR8s...  besides a manual Omega is fine once you're used to it

Don't fancy the Seat then

If these suggestions are for omega replacement, they're not much like an omega.

No. TB should get a Daewoo.  I saw a Daewoo Lacetti today. Silver. He could call it TSS - The Silver Slug.

Probably more street cred than the likes of a VXR8 or Monaro....

If these suggestions are for omega replacement, they're not much like an omega.

The requirements as I understand them are...

1. 5 seats.
2. a decent boot, unencumbered with a gas tank.
3. 4/5 doors to ease use of the rear seats.
4. 40+mpg.
5. manual gearbox.
6. sensible budget, although that does seem to be a perspective point.

Anything else TB?

There's been a bit of thread drift then?

Not really, it's simply that TB has been a bit reticent with specifics... they're all there somewhere over the last ten pages

Does fatty really want a diesel manual? Really? He would be for ever changing gear, 6 gears short rev range. It's no fun, it's no way near as fun as a petrol manual.

[05omegav6]

He wants 40+mpg, a manual box, a boot and 5 seats, only going to happen with a diesel given his driving style

[tunnie]

Having driven various diesel manuals recently, in traffic they really are no fun. Too many gears, on a cruise it's nice.

Autos suit the modern diesels better, hence XF only in auto.

[Sir Tigger KC]

I don't think fun was in the specifications.... 

[05omegav6]

Don't recall seeing it either, otherwise why bother keeping the Bullet

A common theme, over the last 5 years. Regardless of the subject.
