[Webby the Bear]

another COW (can of worms) from bear 

[PhilRich]

I love the old shape back end & interior but like the facelift front end better 

[tidla]

i liked the early omega shape. but on reading reviews/ comments was put off by the tin worm aspect.

grown to like the facelift and grey slab interior and door panels although there is in places very slight corrosion issues in weird places?

[unclelicklug]

Probably facelift, though I remember seeing one for the first time and thinking what a mess they'd made of the shape...

[PhilRich]

It's that bloody awful rubber coating they've stuck on everything in the facelift interior that spoils it for me

[Dave Elite]

I prefer the facelift.

I love the old shape back end & interior but like the facelift front end better 

A while back there were photo's of a preface lift car with an Astra G facelift front end! Sounds like it would have been your perfect car.       

[Smiddy]

I prefer the preface lift interior, don't like the look of the centre and wood in the face lift models.

As for the outside I like the look of both 

[Ploppy]

Like both 

[Jimbob]

prefaceliftt mv6 for me any day of the week 

[Welung666]

I like the look of the facelifts but the interior leaves a lot to be desired, far to 'plastic fantastic' for my liking. Pre-facelift all the way for me

[Del Boy]

Facelift I think looks loads better, much fresher outside, I think the pre-facelift is starting to look dated now. Interior wise again I prefer the facelift, but much prefer the pre-facelift feel inside, facelift feels rather cheap in places, whereas the pre-facelift feels solid.

[feeutfo]

Facelift,always, bar the tactile finish, although that would be ok if it didn't scratch off...but I do miss the pre face lift climate "dials", I liked those.

[Sixstring]

Defo PFL.....just looks a lot more substantial inside.

first omega i drove was a brand new facelift in 2002, thought it was brilliant and it was only a 2.2 i think. then ive owned my minifacelift for over 6 years and i always prefered the refined shape of those, particularly the rear end, as the styling is subtle. ive never been a fan of the facelift rear end, as serek put it "the back lights look like massive brackets". but i do like the front end of the facelift. i have seen some motors where the owners have modded the front end to be a facelift and left the rear end prefacelift, seems to be a great combination.

as for interiors, the facelift is a lot more upto date, although the quality of the laminate on panels leaves a lot to be desired. i like the prefacelift interior too, its far more intuitive i think.

ive just bought a new facelift so maybe i'll reserve judgement til i've got used to it hehe, but in standard form, like for like, id probably go with the prefacelift
