ive been wondering about selling the car or a few months now as i've had it 2 years and now sort of fancy a change.
I was looking at a few Alfa Romeo 156 as they are brill to drive, even the 1.8 has plenty of poke! Plus they are cheap because of Alfa's reliability reputation which is not an issue now from what ive read and owners ive spoke to.
 But this weekend i've had use of a 03 plate Vectra 3.2 elite! Very nice car!!!! not as well built as the Omega and handles different obviously but still...   
Then again the old Omega has nothing wrong with it other than a bit of corrosion on the back doors and the wife loves the seats, whereas the vectra and 156 leather seats are a little stiff for her. ARGH i dont know!!!!

Sort the rust out on the omega and get it looking top dollar again, refurb the wheels if needed too. This will be done at a fraction of the cost of changing cars, plus the vectra or Alfa won't give you the amount of ride comfort and quietness the omega does.

In my experience it always pays to keep the Wife Happy

You can keep some wives happy for all of the time
You can keep all wives happy for some of the time
but, you can't keep all wives happy for all of the time!

yer the problem is after a year or more im ready for changing cars although it a great car to drive! same with my 306, i was ready for changing after a year but kept it for 3 because i used it for work, my sister has it now and its still one of the best handling fwd cars ive driven, and puts a huge smile on your face chucking it around, but i changed it for the omega cos i got bored with it, as for the wife well, she hates every car ive driven till i bought it! 

plus checked insurance on the vectra and a 3.2 is cheaper than a 2.5 omega and its only group 14
and better on fuel

as for ride comfort and quietness, yes i agree its tough to beat but im 28, so its not top of my list of what i want in a car

Haha Im 26 and it's almost top of mine :p
