General Car Chat / Re: Signum - How does it compare to an Omega Estate?

I've got a facelift 1.9CDTi Signum Elite and think it's great as a family motor. 2 very comfortable kids in the back - proper reclining seats (instead of the traditional 'bench' approach) and they slide back and forth. If you occasionally need to move a 5th person around one of the kids are quite happy in the centre seat with it's proper 3 point belt - officially it has a 75kg limit, and it sits high so not really suitable for an adult.
Boot space is good because you can slide the back seats forward - so you either have a cavernous back seat space and a good size boot, or a masive boot and less back seat leg room. Not many hatches around that offer that flexibility. I don't have the travel assistant thing but they pop up regular on ebay for £50. Mine does have sat nav, auto lights/wipers etc. On a run I get about 45-50mpg.
It's not as well built as an omega (what vauxhall is these days?) and it has it's issues but I've been pleased with mine.

Oh and some cleaners decompose to toxic phosgene gas when heated - thread on that here recently - fatal in microscopic doses..)
