What the hell are Which magazine on about??
« on: 05 September 2006, 20:10:19 »
At my Grandparents today, and spotted a Which? Magazine.

It was the "Car no-nonsense car guide" for cars from 1998 to present. Ohh i thought, what does it say about the megga, well i was in for a shock. This is there quick verdict:

"Bargain-basement prices don't really make up for the Omega's unreliablillity. If you want one, buy a simple low spec petrol or diesel - there is less to go wrong."

Well i thought, thats bull!!

So i read on, i was in for another shock at the so called engines and bhp figures, according to Which? the engines are:

2.0, 2.4, 2.5, 2.8, 2.9 and.... wait for it.............. a 2.4 BIO FUEL!!!!!


WHAT THE F*** ARE THEY ON ABOUT!!! WHAT A RUBBISH MAG UTTER UTTER CRAP!!!

And weak points they point out are, cooling system, exhaust!!!

Good mind to right them a strong e-mail to get their bloody facts right before printing. I'd like them to show me were to buy a 2.4 BIO Fuel Megga!  >:( >:(

Which? Magazine are w*nkers!

so they reckon 200bhp from a 2.4 (no standard petrol Omega is blown), and still have any torque to move 1.7 tonnes.

Trouble is, Which is respected, and will be believed...

Looks like somebody at Which has been suffering from copy & paste syndrome to me, or just simple stupidity
