Depends how heavy your right foot is

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Glacially slow and heavy on petrol.

[steve6367]

My Auto does about 27 Average - mixture of urban and motorway.

I imagine the manual should be better if well driven?

[steve6367]

Glacially slow and heavy on petrol.

Not really any worse than the 2.5 around town - certainly the 2.5 comes into its own at higher speeds

A 2.2 will easily do 130 mph 

[flyer 0712]

Mine is an auto an averages 24 around town,which i think is good,because out of the ten omegas i have owned my previous 2,2 averaged 19 around town...and i always service /oil...oil/filter and the rest twice a year..although I only do 5000 a year so do not know why the difference..

There is nothing wrong with the 2.2, a perfectly adequate and comfortable car capable of breaking any speed limit in this country..............

[78bex]

2.2 ticks all the boxes & comes with a comfy big back seat

I have viewed one locally at £600, & its in immaculate condition in & out. thx for info on what to expect on its running cost. its seems not too  bad.

How many miles on the clock

[05omegav6]

They suffer from most of the same issues as the V6...

Suspension bushes
Hbvs
Camcover gaskets
Coil packs (less so)
Camshafft sensors rather than Crankshaft
Blocked breathers from crap servicing
Head gasket failure usually at higher mileage (poss related to poor coolant maintenance)

Won't set the world on fire compared to a 3.2, but capable enough 

[brendan1983]

Assuming you mean mpg... I'm getting about 27 on average (town driving) and about 42 on the motorway (mines an auto though)

That is why i asked what was on the clock.

The impression i get is even with regular proper coolant changes, When you get near to the 100k window, You are living on borrowed time.

RobG had one go on him last year. Wonder what he had on the clock.
