Same here.SWMB(usually)O had no input whatsoever when I bought my Omega. She was really impressed when I turned up at her work on my TDM 850  ::)
Being honest she didn't really have much input when we bought her Astra G either. Her only requirement was 2 pedals.

Mine actually had the cheek to say she didn't feel safe in it anymore at the weekend as it doesn't drive the same as hers.
 
She has a 1.4 Meriva driven at 65mph on the motorway & I was gently driving a bend at 75mph.  

Unsafe pah! If I went that fast in her car it'd be on its roof!  
Can't leave em - can't kill em - got to love em  :-*

My missus loves the Meega, but she says that sometimes there is a foul smell in the car. I told her it was the aircon.

(Compressor gave up the ghost months ago....... ;D ;D ;D)

Never had a missus in my 1.5 years of driving, so I can have my car as I like  ;D

Though, one of my friends, a picky lassie likes my car because it smells nice and is really clean! haha

funny thing is I binned my air freshener and a few weeks, she was saying, "I love that smell, it always reminds me of your car"     So that's Ultraviolet she likes and not Glade's "ocean breeze"!! haha :)

Mine likes the fact the MV6 "goes very well and looks nice"

However she hates the Carlsson  ;D. It looks ugly and she thinks it is too "primitive"...?

Okay here goes, ::)

I have had an Omega Estate for about 5 years, to be fair, she often said before I got one, that she liked the look of the Omega's This year when I was looking for a replacement, a bit younger, I really wanted an Elite, had to be DTI.

I spent 5 months looking for a DTI Elite Estate, the first one we saw, (I took her along for company) ;), I missed buying it by 5 mins. She thought it was a rrrrreally nice car. I mean, she thought it was a REALLY NICE CAR.

However we later looked at CDX's estates and some really nice CD's. But (By the way at this point I must point out, I only asked her opinion, Not that it would have made a differance) ;) She would say about the CDX's, they just look like any other car. :o This is before she has seen it close up.

Now I'm not being funny but from the outside, from a distance (to most women), ;) other than the wheels, WHAT is the dfferance between an Elite Estate & a CDX Estate? No matter how many times I asked, she could not tell me, what she liked soooo much about the Elite Estate as oppossed to a CDX or CD.

Conclusion I eventually found out was, the tail gate spoiler. Honestly, The tail gate spoiler.  :'( So guys if you really want to impress you misses. Spend a couple of hundred extra and get -  
A BIG TAIL EXTENSION, - IT MATTERS :y

Ok here is what made my missus decide on an omega:



I saw it on my way back home one night took a photo with my mobile and i got the response:

"I WANT one of them!"

I did phone the guy that owns it and got told to politely "bugger off its cost me too much to sell it".
Eventually decided on a black one but could not find a black elite with low enough milage. Then as if by magic we stumbled on a RIOJA one on ebay. My first thought was if it gets scratched it will be a bugger to colour match, but hey she likes it so we bought it. We did disagree on the 3.0V6 part but an elite had to be done now she loves the V6 roar!!!  ;D Oh and the heated seats too lol

For SWMBO it was the heated velour seats, looked at a few elites but as it was November
the leather felt cold but the velour was warm and "snuggly". Big engines don't seem to bother her, it could have been a 1600 but so long as it felt right it would have been okay!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Of course you can! If it's to YOUR car buy what YOU want. I just buy what I want, she moans for a few days, she then comes round - problem sorted!!  :y You should've seen her face when I 'surprised' her with my 'new' motor bike .... then again!  ;)
