tunnie is....
« on: 14 February 2008, 20:47:57 »
loving the 3.0 Estate!! Have owned a 2.2 for 4 years i defend them to the ends of the earth, but the 3.0 is just in another league!

I have driven several 2.5's but the 3.0's are so much faster!

Driving back again tonight with the HID's in the dark is sooo much easier, it has so much pull after 65, my 2.2 can get to 70 ok, after that nothing left... the 3.0 just keeps pulling and pulling, the multi-rams are not even working yet!

The Elite seats seam so much more comfy, I can adjust them to lean back a lot more in the seat, and they give so much more thigh support.

My 2.2' CD's seats, have a lever to tilt the seat back, but the Elite leccy ones seam to go a lot futher?

Result one happy tunnie.

2.2 future is looking very bleak!  :o

Hopefully will get those multi-rams sorted this weekend.

Other niggles? Getting very weak heat though the dash, and with this recent cold snap has meant bloody cold driving!! V6 roar helps though  :)

If i drive it fairly hard i get more heat but its still very week!  :'(

Shame I won't be a Telford .. you could have had a go in a 3.2 .. I would not have believed the difference.. After the 2.5 its a truly amazing machine ...

217 BHP v 167 BHP .. those extra 50 Horses make a HUGE difference.

and No ... I haven't stopped smiling yet ...  :)

Guess I must be spoiled then with my last 3 cars being near or over 300 BHP, as one of my gripes with the Omega is that it feels underpowered -- and that's in 3.0 manual form. It's got a decent chassis, but at 1700Kg it could do with a few extra horses.

Oh and if you like the Elite seats you should try some MV6 ones... much better IMO, to the point where I'd take cloth manual-adjust MV6 seats over electric + memory Elite leather seats every time.
