Omega General Help / Re: whats it supposed to be like
« on: 19 January 2009, 01:52:17 »
I agree with you all the car is a good drive its just me. I cant stand the traction control it cuts in so I turn it off most of the time. I have had a few little slides where I realy wouldnt expect it. and a few times its been me trying to get the power down on a bend and the back just slips out nicely. I just plan find it heavy. I much prefered the Vitesse for the 220 bhp and the much lighter rear end. have have driven loads of Vauxhalls trying to get the feel back of my old Cav 1.6 D reg that was so nice to drive. I have had the v6 vectra, 1.4 Cav H Reg, astras corsas and a fair few vectras and I havent enjoyed one apart from the D reg.
the book compares the vitesse Standard model not the 220 bhp but the older 193 bhp as 0-60 in 7.3 seconds the top speed is 143 MPH at around 29 MPG
The Omega 2.5i V6 CDX is 163 BHP 8.2 Seconds 0-60 142 MPH and 25 MPG
My Vitesse was 220 BHP 0-60 was around 6.9 seconds by my GPS I had it running at 140 then ran out of road, and if I drove it gentle I got 190 miles from 20 of fuel at around the 91 p per litre mark.
Saying that the V6 Omega has been doing farly well. I put £20 in and it did 160 mile the first time, with my few floors to see how it drove. then I got 170 driving real nice, and then this time dirving aorund town and to chopwell and back HILLS it did 130 miles and the prices are back to around the 90p per litre mark. so its doing quite well considering is 1/5 of a ton more or 200Kgs more.
It also has a really good turning circle for a big car. and has loads more torque like tons of it. I towed a rover 400 in the firsat week just a short distance on the a frame and it was a dream compared to the Vitesse.
:-/ I am a little undecided as the comfort is much better seats are like a arm chair. and the screen clears so fast from frost, and the air con is much better, and the rear blinds real handy when the arse behind has his lights on full beam. and the kids live it. and the wife. I am just finding it hard to get used to the heavy steering and the cars tracion control. and the fact that i cant go round my local roundabout at 40 I have to slow to 25 or it loses it, and yes theres loads of tread in the tyres.
