Do the Omega suffer with any faults.. I think  so. Most cars suffer many faults..Just look at the problems we all have with our Omegas, we put up with them because we like them..

Opinions vary thats why this thread is posted but be honest, The Omega has many faults too.. :y

They must think there is profit in it....   ....I suspect there is now not under BMW mismanagement (or the debts that this saddled them with)

Yes, both Ford and GM are in real trouble.  Now the Rover brand is free of BMW and the debts that they were left with (and free of Longbridge - the thorn in Rover's side for decades), they stand a chance.

Its why they have sold Aston Martin (a profit maker), and why they are looking at selling Jag (loss maker) and Landrover (profit maker) as a package. They need capital quick.

I'm inclined to agree with Ronald McB too. I like the Jaegar style clocks and the coloured piping to the seats. The V8 version of the MG/Rover 75 car was nice - even if FORD was the first thing you saw when you lifted the bonnet, at least the engine drove the rear wheels and a cam belt(s) change wasn't ££££££'s which it is/was on the east/west engines

I always laugh at how they pull the front seats forward when displaying these cars to give the impression of rear leg room.

If you look at the rear doors and windows, you will see that this is in fact the stretched version. Same as the RR spur compared to th RR Spirit. ASbout 10" extra in the back. So, no the seats are not puished forward, there reeally is that much in the back of these show cars, though granted the actual one you buy will have a lot less.

I do like the Omega, or rather did. But after 2 years of them I am looking around for a new car now. Might even go the BMW route or Lexus. Have considered all sorts. Won't be another Omega though.

When all is said and done, its down to the individual. Omega is not that popular as can be seen on ebay any day of the week. If the K series has a bad name it is certainly equalled if not surpassed by the GM V6 in an omega.
I must be a glutton for punishment, I run both :o
