General Car Chat / Re: Upgrading from my 2.2dti

Definitely gonna be a manual...

Volvo is the front runner, not sold on Saab's. I know 07 onward Mondeos are good.... but perhaps a little too mundane. French stuff is out of the question....

General Car Chat / Upgrading from my 2.2dti

« on: 22 November 2016, 09:27:58 »

Hi everyone.

Firstly I have to say I love some of the Omega characteristics such as the comfort and quality of ride but, sadly, after 3 years I fancy a change. I cover around 8000 miles a year so fuel economy is a factor, it's not the main priority

What are the experiences of people on here going from the Omega to say a Volvo S60 etc..

Like I said above, I love the comfort and quality of ride but I want something that is noticeably quicker with better handling. Which shouldn't be difficult as mine is the 2.2dti GLS !!! Looking at both derv and petrol (unless it has Subaru Impreza levels of mpg!!)

I'm going to wait until mid January and will have a max budget of £4500...

What's people's preference with their Omega's petrol smoothness of diesel grunt ?
