had one as a hire car back in summer bloody awfull
a lot smaller inside than the omega
trying to look out back window was nearly impossible
if i turned my head to the right all i could see was the roof beam
would never own one
i only had it 4 days as steering packed in
they  replaced it with new mondeo BRILLIANT car
loved it and i have never been a friend of fords before
would consider having one when the omega has gone

I found that too  :(

New Mondeos are nice, but i don't like the arse on them  :-/

I agree with you there. Not too keen on the rear end, reminds me of the Renault Laguna.

I just got rid of my insignia and bought the omega which I much prefer.
big boot, better chasis than the vectra, nice lighting on the speedo area, adaptive lighting was good.
the bad
can't see behind you, electronic handbrake is a nightmare car kept rolling down the road!!!!! got out once it rolled down the drive into my new garage door cost me £125 to get the bumper resprayed.
the stupid camera thing never worked, dab radio took 3 hours to find a different channel, it was a 1.8 elite, leather was like plastic & seats gave me backache leather in omega is soft & looks like leather.
1.8 engine gutless spent every second i drove it changing the 6 gears.
you have to lean across to use the dash controls on the pass side if you can remember how the stupid menus work or which one does what(meanwhile you have driven off the road & are in a field)
climate control crap, floor area is always cold unless you manually direct it down, I never touch the omega one.
the thing is constantley beeping for some reason, key in ign & boot open etc was like driving a fruit machine.
looks nice from the front but rear/ side ugly.
apart from that it was alright lol
had it for 4 months never even washed it took it back.
washed the omega already!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
