The basket would only be for occasional trips, what i want to put on it is too heavy to lift to the roof!! It would'nt fit in a roof obx either due to akward shapes.

No, we've test drove either yet as my car hasn't sold but she's a typical picky woman!!! If she doesnt fancy it, she wont like it no matter what

Hi

 I am trying to decide between a saloon and estate omega, but the saloons appeal to the missus more hence this question!

We all know that you can get that boot/luggage racks for convertables, but do you reken it would be possible convert for use on a saloon? And how much weight do think it would take, hopefully 60kg!

Thanks

No, not Wakefield, a little village near Hull.


A camper?? We could become travellers instead!!!!  I've had an Astra a couple of years ago and never again - too small. I couldn't put the seat back far enough to be comfy with my lad sat in the seat behind!

Keep the skoda, why down grade to an Omega, when you can have something as good as a Skoda

cos I'll get £3000 in my back pocket to an extension on my home which will add £10000 to the value of my house! Oh and our lass got caught pregnant so I need the extension so it can have somewhere to sleep!!

Ey, dont knock the Skoda - its a reall good car actualy and I've played with it a little   so it really shifts too.

I've seen a couple of MV6 estates for sale, one is a 2.6 and the other is the 3.0 but the running costs of the larger engine could be scary!

How many miles would you get from a tank with normal driving??


Oh, the quad is just two inches too big too go in the Skoda so if this boot is significantly bigger then I'll be laughing.

Hi

I am having to down grade from my current car, a Skoda Octavia VRS estate, to fund an home extension so after much research and asking the missus what she likes the look of, i think an Omega estate fits the bill nicely.

But as you guys run and live these cars, I think this is the best place to ask for a realistic opinion of them. I am not new to vauxhalls or scared of a bit of a play under the bonnet but I have never had an Omega or even sat in one for that matter.

Anway, I my wish list that I need fulfilling is a large enough back seat to accommodate 3 child seats, a huge boot to fit all the associated junk in and a quad bike, and enough power to pull a large caravan up hills without struggling. I am looking to spend about £3000 on a nice 2.6 V6 MV6 estate.

Do you reken it could do alll this without costing more to run and insure than my VRS? All opinions and thoughts welcome please.
