purely because nothing else comes close for value and comfort........

mine is now sat at 139,000 and looks like it will just keep on going and going

oh yeah and it is a vaux as well

[megaomega123]

Always wanted a V6. I bought a Cavalier V6 which had a few problems, so sold it on ASAP. Managed to find a manual 2.5V6 Omega with 74000 miles for £450. I had never even been in an Omega before this. I was astounded at what I got for my money in comparison to the Cavalier.
Not regretted the Omega ever.

I confessed this to Broocie a few months back and feel I should share. I had the Omega for 6 months before I realised it was rear wheel drive   It wasn't until I lost traction one day when coming from a junction and I noticed it was the rear wheels that spun.

Never liked Vauxhall and after owning a cavalier i was adamant id never own another Vauxhall that's until my boss showed me his Omega (just a 2.0 GLS) and from that moment on i wanted one (actually i bought his eventually) so found a cheapish 2.0 on Ebay and drove down to Reigate to get it (that's a far trip from Huntington) and nearly wet myself when i first drove it as it felt huge compared to the sierra saloon"s id driven previously.

Then after the first 2.0 developed a very rattly engine i bought my bosses 2.0 saloon....then the 3.0 Elite and finally a 2.5 Estate,still drive the Elite and so far spent sod all on it apart from a couple of rear tyres and a couple of bits second hand for the climate and touch wood its been fine.

Couldn't imagine driving anything else now....big comfy car and cheap to buy.

i like the luxury and value for money, i like the modern look of my facelift, i like the cheap enough insurance of a group 13+ car, i like the jag-like smoothness even on 17" wheels, and i also like the rareness of the omega

two people drive past each other in astras, they dont bat an eye, but 2 omegas pass and the drivers cant help but look across

My best mates fault he saw it in the car lot and called me over and said "i can just see you in that" we where meant to be looking for an s type jag for him!!! Before i left the car lot i had borrowed £500 off him and bought it   from day 1...like everyone else has said BIG,COMFY AND BLOODY RELIABLE...

I could not agree more!

Suppose I should leave a comment myself.

I originally had a Carlton (it got squished by the local council), then when I came to buy my next car I found a 2.5 Elite and fell in love, back last december she saved my life after I got out and walked away from a 5 car 70 mph crash on the A80.

(£6k's worth of damage if anyone is intrested - who knew an Omega could become that stumpy?)

Got another one with the insurance, although a  2.6 CD this time.

But if it had been a smaller car less well made, it may well have been a different story!

Also like comfort, room/size, V6, style, value for money, Auto box.

Comfort and space.

I bought mine purely to go to South of France nearly 4 yrs ago.  It is so effortless and comfortable (and economical on a trip like that), not tiring like other cars I've had...
