Title: Let SWMBO drive the Omega today...
Post by: Murph on 01 March 2012, 21:52:52
She hates it!   ;D

She says it's too slow, unresponsive, heavy on the steering and feels like a tank!

Mind you she's used to her MX6 so that's to be expected I suppose.   ;D

At least I know she'll not be asking to borrow my car then.   ::)

My wife has only driven 1 of my Omega's, hated it straight away and didn't even like being a passenger in it.  But now I have sold my 3.2 Elite and bought a Mercedes Coupe she loves driving it - women  ::)

My wife only drives MY Omega when her car is empty, or it is cold and she can use the heated seats :D :D

She doesn't like omegas to drive. But has got noticeably more confident in mine as I've tightened up the handling, but without really knowing why. Notice anything different about the car? "... .......no...? ... what have you done to it? " irmscher springs, b4 shocks, then later polly bushed fronts where fitted since she last drove it. "oh...yes it's a bit less...(wiggles the steerng wheel at 90) ... It doesn't move around as much.

Her Lexus has a far tighter chassis. Not as big a car, but big enough. She's flying round in that. ;D
