V6 without a shadow of doubt, really is a beautiful driving car, smooth, and a beautiful noise to boot!

4 pots just ain't cricket in my opinion!

The biggest engine & best spec'd car you can find/afford!  ;) V6's aren't that much thirstier than 4 pot cars due to the size & weight of the car!
Pretty much a case of 'big is best .... bigger is better still!'  :y  :y  :y

Entirely up to you my friend.....

I have a 2.2 CD in Silver which is more than adequate for me,it has all i need and is nippy enough....

The big advantage to the 2.2 in my opinion is is far easier to work on the the V6's,engine wise anyway

Fuel comsumption doesn't really differ too greatly i dont think, my 2.2 gets roughly the same town driving than my mates 3.2....

I'll stick up for the 2.2 owners.
The're just as thirsty as 6 pots although maybe not as smooth to drive. Just the same in comfort, and again the same as you know you ain't paid a fortune to own one, if your lucky.

I used to have a 2002 2.2 CDX saloon manual, had it for 15 months or so. It was great, never let me down...and I thought was fairly brisk. I'd describe the engine as adequate. But it is a heavy car. It also depends on which gearbox you'd prefer, manual or auto? That will make a difference to mpg. But really, an Omega just for town driving will drink fuel, it's not the best car for that really.
I've currently got two 3.2's and a 2.6, and I wouldn't really go back to a 2.2 as a car to keep for myself, as after you've driven a V6, it's not that easy to go back to a 4 cylinder.
