Reading meet No 7?

[mkaminski100]

Yes, I agree mkaminski100. The Omega changed my opinion of what I thought would be a big Vectra and suprised me with how good it was.

In a similar manner, the Mondeo has suprised me at how good it is. Mine is a 1999 Mk2 saloon and as it seems like quite a good one, I intend to leep it until the right car comes along, be it Omega or not...

What I am suprised at is how rude people can be about a car. I turned up at the last meet wanting to talk about Marti's new gem, but after an hour was spent slagging my Jeep off, I was a bit disheartened. Now, it is the turn of the Mondeo.

Don't get me wrong, the Omega is a good car, but it's just that, a good car, not the only car on the road....

Jesus, get over it!!!

They're just jealous. What sort of Omega are you looking for? There's one we are chatting about - CDX V6 saloon for 600 quid.

Not in a rush mate, but it needs to be a 3.0l estate.

I may just go for a Mondeo ST24 Estate, just so that my fans have something to talk about

ST's are overpriced, I would go for Ghia X 2.5V6 or 2.0. From MKIII range I like Titaniun and Mist but these are also too expensive.
The only problem with Mondeo is that it's going down with price so quickly so you have to be sure that you will drive it few years.
And as per Omega - auto or manual? Main reason I'm asking is petrol consumption
My new Omega V6 auto barely did 32MPG on the motorway (will do some service and see, but don't expect it go much above that) while Vectra V6 can easily do 40MPG (with leaking exhaust manifold). In town, REAL consumption is around 24-25. Don't think Omega can even go close to that.
Now I have to buy ca £20 worth the petrol a week, but will it be worth to pay extra £10-15 for Omega additional comfort, or just sell both and buy Mondeo - something between Vectra consumption and Omega comfort. Now when I have a baby I have to calculate those things...

I agree Mike the omega is not the only car.
I don't think we were slagging off the jeep in that way, what I thought, and speak for myself on this one, was the money you paid for the jeep and the condition of it you could of got something better, economical and more spacious for your needs. Now the mondeo, I found when I had one, which was the MK1, was small inside yes it was economical and parts for it were reasonable just like the omega. The only problem I had was that I out grew it, you got alot of road noise from it as well, not alot of sound proofing iirc. They tend to rust alot as well and very quickly, not saying that the omega doesn't but not as bad.
