I'm trying to understand the engine model differences....

I have several cars lined up to view from a mint Saloon 03 2.2 Elite 90k FSH Leather @ £1700......a 51 plate 2.6 saloon Elite 110k FSH @ £1200 and a MV6 3.2 saloon 2001 @ £1800

Are there major power differences ?

All are auto....

I do a mix of 50/50 motorway and urban driving....fuel/cost are unimportant !

The 2.2 has 144 bhp, and I had one for 15 months, it only had 36k on it when I got rid of it. It wasn't bad at all, but I think the V6 is the better engine. The 2.2 is adequate, that's it. The V6's are better...in my opinion. The 2.6 has 180 bhp and the 3.2 has 217.

as mentioned 2.2 does the job, it sits at 80mph all day long as good as a V6. But if you want pace, get a 3.0/3.2

[I_want_an_Omega]

I think it very much depends on what you are used to as a comparison point.

I was quite happy with 2.0's until I went to V6's, when I had a 2.2 as a hire car I was really disappointed.

If fuel isn't an issue then go for the 3.2

Depends with the V6s if you want handling or toys

2.6 goes quite well anyway

Must be a 3.2 Elite?
If economy is not a factor, go V6-it gives the full Omega experience!

As you say, must be diesel, then?

[duggs]

Simply put....Yes !  Go for a V6...

Long term, you WILL regret having a 2.2.

[Rent-a-Carb]

Are we sure ?

It says 2.2 ?

Oh, well.  Perhaps one day I'll get the V6 then.....and someone elses fuel card!!

2.2 with Elite bits but no rear blind and no TC

Perhaps someone wanted a 2.2 Elite so thought they'd upspec a more basic spec?  Badges??

No rear blind so not elite, and no petrol 2.2 was sold as elite spec only the 2.2DTi/2.5/2.6/3.0/3.2, 

And what an awful exhaust.

That is not a true Elite, firstly 2.2 petrol was never fitted to Elite. I notice it has a MID, Elite of that year would have had a different screen. Can't tell if it has bose, its got a horrible looking 3rd party head unit.

Walk away.
