Ey, dont knock the Skoda - its a reall good car actualy and I've played with it a little  ;) so it really shifts too.

I've seen a couple of MV6 estates for sale, one is a 2.6 and the other is the 3.0 but the running costs of the larger engine could be scary! :o

How many miles would you get from a tank with normal driving??


Oh, the quad is just two inches too big too go in the Skoda so if this boot is significantly bigger then I'll be laughing.

Buy an MV6 estate thats a good car  :D ;)

Quite right an all :y

bit quicker than your skoda, will pick up its skirts and really haul ass if you want too!! loading it up doesnt seem to make that much differance fuel isnt the horror some people would have you believe. for a big car it handles well enough, you mite find it a bit strange going back to rear wheel drive but thats about it........recomended :y :y :y

No, not Wakefield, a little village near Hull.


A camper?? We could become travellers instead!!!!  I've had an Astra a couple of years ago and never again - too small. I couldn't put the seat back far enough to be comfy with my lad sat in the seat behind!

Keep the skoda, why down grade to an Omega, when you can have something as good as a Skoda :y :y


cos I'll get £3000 in my back pocket to an extension on my home which will add £10000 to the value of my house! Oh and our lass got caught pregnant so I need the extension so it can have somewhere to sleep!!
i think you best bet would be, sell the Skoda, and the alpha Astra, and get an MV6 estate that way all will be able to fit in :y :y

Spot on again :y

I think you'll find there's not a lot of difference  in fuel consumption between any of the V6's My 99 3.0 Elite saloon does around 21/22 around town although many here seem to get more.

Not before I have my helping!!

Could have sworn you were someone else who would be more likely to tell us that they wanted to downgrade from a Skoda to an Omega.  ;D

Once again, welcome to the forum. Hope you find what you're looking for.  :y

Omega Estate is probably one of the biggest modernish estates out there.  Fuel economy may be an issue with running costs. 2.5/2.6 auto, probably average 27-29mpg, 3.0/3.2 auto, probably around 23-25mpg. Manual versions 2-4 mpg better.  I base this on mine own experience and my commute to work (horrible 40-50mph A roads, 25 miles).

If the car has been looked after, should be reliable if you are prepared to do a bit of preventative maintenence. Likely the cambelt and the cam cover gaskets may need doing at some point, and regular oil changes will keep it running well.

For cheaper genuine service parts, get a Trade Club card, worth its weight in gold.

I only intended to keep my 1st Omega for a few months, but still have it after 4yrs, and have had a couple of others as well.  I think there is no better car for the money, if you can deal with the fuel costs...
