Frontera 3.2 limited
« on: 04 January 2010, 20:53:39 »
Do these have the same engines as the Omega?

Are they any good? I'm thinking after 10 years of "leaving" the Omega fold. I reckon I have done my time.

Here is one but it is limited. Would it be faster if I took the limiter off?

I think 'Limited' refers to the model specification rather than the fact it has some kind of limiter. The same as an Omega Elite, it's a Frontera Limited.

The first 12 months of production had some issues but, not many.

Am surprised they never advertise these as 4x4 especially in this weather.   (Are they 4x4?)

Nice, and would swop for my Omega (for towing duties) any day, but I imagine it's very thirsty :o being the 3.2 petrol.

Compared to driving an Omega it would be like driving an old builders van!
I had Omega,then i had a Jeep,quickly went back to the Omega!

Seriously no contest in comfort or refinement

comfort of a sofa to the comfort of a wooden chair with 3 legs
