Emd, Emd, Emd........

You scrap a Mig and get a Pug! Not happy and you tell us you want another Mig.
You get rid of the Pug and get a Veccy. Better, but you tell us that what you really want is another Mig!
After much searching, posting of ebay links and discussion you buy another Mig!!

Now you're going into showrooms looking at Astras, Insignias, Antaras and lordy lordy an ebay Lexus!!! 

What is it that you really really want?   

PS STEMO can provide counselling if needs be!!

Who cares they are both shite 

The '57 plate astra we had was a great little car. Very nippy and plenty of reach/rake on the steering wheel.

All well and good, but just not a Daewoo...

I want a VXR8 

[omega3000]

Besides i was only looking Mr 


Whats next Daewoo 

[I_want_an_Omega]

Mig is far superior than anything in the showroom 

Which will be why they stopped making the Omega then 

The Omega was a fantastic car, and very much of it's time, beating the Scorpio hands down sales wise. I know, I had several from new. In the UK it was aimed fair and square at the company car driver - fact, with much cheaper fuel prices as well. That's the main reason that there are so many around now for us to pick-up cheap. Don't get me wrong, it's still a great now car if you don't mind spending out on fuel and high road tax costs in comparison to a current model.

Very subjective discussion & no right answer I'm afraid ........

All IMHO of course.

And the Astra J is a much better car than the H

[omega3000]

We should put in a petition for a new Omega to be reborn 




I had a look at the Ford range , boy are they dull looking 

[Webby the Bear]

I really like the looks of the insignia and the astra. the insignia has a lovely front end (reminds me of continental gt) but the rear is something im still unsure on especially after all the ''squatting dog'' comments on here.

the astra though. that's a beauty no question.

as for comfort/ride/driving I cant comment as never been in.

Oh keep up at the back. There was a rumour of a new omega, a concept actually, a re hashed front wheel drive minger. Do you really think gm will release a new rear wheel drive in the current economic climate...?

And we can't afford a new car anyway. ...although a year after release we might.

After sitting in both in the showroom then getting back into the omega , the omega wins hands down for comfort and space  And the omega steering wheel is like a lorries

Just a small point. The omega steering wheel is adjustable for rake only as you know, where as the Astra and insignia are adjustable for reach as well. This makes both cars infinitely better than the omega in this regard, and I know this from first hand experience of the insignia.

There may be many reasons to prefer an omega, but the adjustability of the steering wheel is not one if them, especially as you didn't adjust it and drive the car yourself as its either set to make getting in and out easier for a show room setting, or somebody else has been able to adjust it themselves. Silly!

The '57 plate astra we had was a great little car. Very nippy and plenty of reach/rake on the windscreen between replacements.

Fixed.

..but they're connected to the same wheels as the engine, which will never do.
