The Zafira would have been easier for you to get in and out of and there would be more room in the back for your aids  ::) ;D

As a comparion, my mpg for the commute is around 52-54 mpg with the long term mpg sitting at 48-49 mpg.

The Vx bluetooth function is very good, way better than a parrot or similar and can be fitted to the cd30 as well as the cdc40 and cd70.

i found when looking for decent PC a lot of them were in terrible condition. Honestly some I saw had interiors which looked more like grow bags. Mine had done 21k miles when I brought it and was in superb condition. However it has been smoked in. Smells almost totally gone now except you still get a faint wiff if the suns been beaming on the car for a few hours. Heat reflective windscreen really works but one question I must ask. Whats the point on having a dimming rear view mirror when the rear privacy glass is so dark? I've seen more light emitted from a badgers backside than enter the rear of the S Max from a cars high beam. Oh as for your quest for a shat chav I wreckon you've got a good chance. I found quite few 70's when I was looking for one to fit in the Omiga


I'll have to check that out. ;D ;D ;)

Nice car, Mr Jimbob...........whadidshecostya?

So what you are saying Jimbob the omega has become old hat

I find a lot of members on here are getting rid of their omegas?

Are we experiencing a deminishing market?

My MPG is improving with my gear changes LOL  keep forgetting to change up!  6 is taking some getting used to.  46 mpg over 2 commutes.  Double what I got in the omega!

Sat in the omega earlier (to do a code read)  ahh the comfort.

Glad we've still got one, and I suspect If the still made them I would now own a considerably newer one.

Did feel a little more like home today for some reason.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Im quite enjoying the ride...except when I find its chugging cos I've forgotton to change down ;D

Smooth, quick enough when pressed.  Im quietly suprised actually.

Mark will give a better picture im sure, as hw has driven one a lot further than I have, and is considerably more skilled in doing so!

Should we change the name of the forum Omega/Insignia/Zafira/AstraOwners.com?
