It's so much easier to pleasure a lady in the rear of an omega than it is a smaller corsa...

  Steady-on Paul; there are some OOF members with heart conditions.....and talk like that is just not safe fair.

[Darth Loo-knee]

I have had Cavalier after Cavalier and even now I still rate them... but when Omegas came out I loved them, then the Police had them... as a rule they don't have slow cars
So I decided to get one when they were more affordable, so was looking on the Internet for common faults and things to look out for when buying one, and found "The Forum"..... after a few weeks of being a member on here I came across a nice MV6 which I still have and will have hopefully for a number of years

Always liked larger exec type cars -- love gadgets --- like LPG  

Already had ( have) a V6 QX, the mig arrived, heading for the breakers. Never seen that colour before and liked it. Coincidentally another mig turned up in same colour, also due to be broken.

Thinks .... between the two of the breakers is a decent miggy crying for life .... so I decided to enter the miggy world.

A few months later and the list of need to / want to do is getting longer. Everytime one thing gets done I think of a few more to do !!!!!

Wife had a M plate cavvy & loved it to bits but always wanted the bigger "version"
When we were looking at cars, I wanted to buy a 99-2000 BM 523, but swmbo still wanted a mig. So as a compromise, I agreed, as long as it was a black V6.
Glad I did cos the elite spec puts BMW's to shame & I trust the mig going round roundabouts more than my sisters 528

Plus I'm convinced my mig growls every time it see's a bmw. Can't help showing them up

I was after something big and comfortable, but not too thirsty.  Also wanted an Estate, so it fitted the bill given my limited budget.  Next car will most likely be another Mig...loving it!

[omegaman2]

i always liked them then good fortune came my way
my paw in law bought it at a year old then decided it was to good a car for what he was using it for so on its secondbirthday it became mine  and boy do i love it

[JiMbOb789]

Always liked them since the first day i saw one, i have always preffered them to a mercedes e class or a bmw 5 series

I must admit... In considering a mig I did do a bit of research into them. Thats when I discovered OOF.... as a visitor loitering in the wings   Well.... After coming here how could I not get one!!! What with Lizze and her 130mph tales and the talk of such love it was done and dusted!   And long may it continue!!!!!!!

Granada Scorpio - which at the time I thought was the best tow-car in the world - was getting very old, and continental travel/breakdown insurance was getting expensive, then the gearbox developed a leak.

I like big, comfortable RWD for towing, and need a car of at least 1800kgs, so the options became BMW, Mercedes ( various options) or the Omega, with the budget I had at the time (2002) it then became a '99 Miggy, a 94 beamer or a 92 merc....   when you compare the toys, comfort etc etc .. the miggy won hands down .. so I got one.

Best decision ever .. never looked back it is a brilliant car all round and a fantastic tow-car

I have just changed to a newer one for no other reason than to get a newer one to keep longer !!

I actually never liked Opels much, nor Omega and am a bit of a French car fan. But 2 years ago I moved to Switzerland and was looking for a relatively large yet cheap estate to use as a family car (2kids 5 and 3years old). Was looking at various 2l Mondeos, Lagunas, Xantias, a bit older Passats but was secretly hoping to find a 2.5td XM. I know what you will say... As a XM neve came along I was at a stage of choosing between 2 black Mondeos when I spotted the Omega. Really smart looking, you could see it was taken care of, loaded with extras, cheaper than what I had budgeted, bit higer mileage. Was concearned about fuel costs and other expences (4 x 225-16 decent tyres dont come cheap), and the mileage, but complete service history from Opel, all the bills, one previos owner swayed the decision. Now dont know how I would ever drive again anything with 4 cylinders or with no cruise. May still replace it with 3.0v6 diesel espace late this or early next year.

Grew up with proper cars, RWD boot one end bonnet the other. Drove taxis (not owner driver) on hourly paye when i was down South. The bosses liked big petrol motors so for years we drove Granadas. Licencing laws dictated @ Mreg upwards then which was the end of the Granada, Scorpios were wink so they bought an early (nearly new then) base model M reg 2.0 manual, i loved it.
    Long time ago now but i still love 'em!!!!

I bought mine, googled Vauxhall Omega & found the forum! 8-)
