Looks very nice. :y

Having seen the ease with which a mate of mine bundled his kids, toys, etc. into the back of his Zafira a couple of weeks back I can see the attraction.

Its no slouch....150bhp but, 0-60 is slower than that of the V6.

Does that make it faster than a 4 pot omega? :-/ Or does the omega have a huge torque advantange?

More torque (loads more!) and more power than the 4 pot Omega

Ah break :'( And still not enough NCB for a v6 >:( >:(

Nice car though :y

50mpg+  :y

Best I have ever seen was the old 1.6 Astra diesel van down to Swanage.  Got arround 60mpg.  Was told it had an oil leak before I hired it and they gave me 5 litres of oil for topping it up.  :-/  Checked the oil before I went and forgot to put the filler cap back on, didnt lose a drop there and back, and the engine wasnt covered it oil either.  Was impressed for what it was.  

Out of interest, what did your Miggy avearge on your work runs, was it a 2.5 or 3.0.

If it's stuck, force it.  If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway........

Did some calculations at work yesterday discussing fuel.

My car is the most expensive and the least expensive daily use vehicle for cost per mile.

I get roughly half the consumption of a Diesel Mondeo X-Type, someone else gets 40mpg out of a 318is, but Diesel is expensive amd petrol is cheaper but nowhere near LPG prices.

I think Mrs DTM maybe have had the a say in what car was the replacement.

A elcheapo 600 quid Omega, could have been the way to pile the miles on, just 50k say, then scrap and replace again.

But i think time in maintaiance, and family needs forced the mummymobile.

If i had a large mile commute in the car, i would run my facelift into the ground, then buy another one for less than 3 figures, and do the same!
