Can an Omega do all this??
« on: 03 January 2008, 20:33:24 »
Hi

I am having to down grade from my current car, a Skoda Octavia VRS estate, to fund an home extension so after much research and asking the missus what she likes the look of, i think an Omega estate fits the bill nicely.

But as you guys run and live these cars, I think this is the best place to ask for a realistic opinion of them. I am not new to vauxhalls or scared of a bit of a play under the bonnet but I have never had an Omega or even sat in one for that matter.

Anway, I my wish list that I need fulfilling is a large enough back seat to accommodate 3 child seats, a huge boot to fit all the associated junk in and a quad bike, and enough power to pull a large caravan up hills without struggling. I am looking to spend about £3000 on a nice 2.6 V6 MV6 estate.

Do you reken it could do alll this without costing more to run and insure than my VRS? All opinions and thoughts welcome please.

Back seat for 3 childs seats .... easily
Pull a caravan up hills ...   easily ( I tow a 1600Kgs van regularly !)
Large boot for junk and a quad bike ....  depends on the size of the quad bike !!!  but the boot of a saloon is certainly large .. so I'll guess you get more in an estate  .. :)

Omega is suitable for your needs but running costs (except the fuel) is highly dependant on the previous owner(s) and car condition...

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.

i think you best bet would be, sell the Skoda, and the alpha Astra, and get a camper that way all will be able to fit in :y :y
