VAUXHALL OMEGA
When you pull up at the girlfriend's or swing into your client's carport in a Vauxhall Omega, what you are saying is: "I am solvent, ambitious, and an astute operator in business". Because the Omega offers perhaps the very best value for money when looking for a cheap used car which can stand beside a Beemer or a Merc humming deeply as if to say: "I am comfortable among my peers here". Not cheap when new, the Omega is a veritable bargain when a used car. Thank God for Vauxhall's prosaic image, any serious bargain hunter seeking a credible executive class cruiser, will cry. Like other underrated Vauxhalls (see notes on our beloved Astra), what the Omega lacks in image it seriously makes up for in performance. A steady cruiser rather than a sprinter, this understated Vauxhall has forsaken boy racer appeal. And thank goodness, for what serious suitor - in business or romance - would risk this tag from those guardians who must be courted? And yet, with the 3l model cruising happily at three figures, and easily reaching 120, true power lurks within. Make no mistake, though unostentatious, this is a luxury car. With excellent handing, surprisingly exotic rear wheel drive and likewise precise steering, the luxury is first and foremost in the drive. With air-con in all models, CD player and a good and ergonomic stereo, this is a used car for the intelligently ambitious who perhaps know that modern driving is as much about standing in line as letting it rip. Inside the Omega you can be the comfortable, high-tech witness to whatever grime or tension the outside world projects through your screen. The Omega ought to be at the top of any executive cheap used car search. While this Luton-made workhorse will not stand out in a crowd, the years of consciously competing with the upmarket brands have left a wonderful opportunity, then, for anyone looking for true quality in a used car and performance - without the prestige, and certainly without the high price. Years of driving long business runs or stressy school runs - and no end in sight? This is the kind of steady barge which will take the edge off the most stressful driving imaginable. In fact if the Omega were were an animal, it would be a teddy bear. With seats whose size and comfort (and dual use potential) make you think "Bed" (strong coffee, anyone?), without a doubt many a corpulent middle manager has eased his way though the second half of his career, from the pleasure of the Omega's well-padded seats. The spaciousness means one would almost not be surprised to hear a honky tonk strike up in the corner of the Saloon. What's more, for the seriously anti-fashion brigade, it's the diesel which tops the performance league. Now perhaps moving into late middle age, it is just possible that anyone picking up one soon will have the best bargain cheap used car of the century.
