People will think you're plod and err it's a Poxhall

3.0 Elite with all the toys would be nice, did look at an estate one a while back

They're ace, and as the fatman says, the 3.0 Elite is awesome

Munch the miles well too, V6s are a bit juicy and the 2ltr a bix poxy

2.5 can give good economy driven sensibly

yes i think they are all rwd.ive only had the 2ltr because i was only 18 at the time.but still it was loads of fun and petrol was good on it.fair dues it didnt have the punch a v6 would but its very economical.if you dont want one you could just get a porsche 911 gt3.would probably be better economically then the 3ltr v6.lol

They are good cars, the estates have a cult following.

2.5V6 Brisk but Juicy, MV6 is a performance monster! Elite well nice spec.

The TURBODIESEL is the one to buy, mainly because the Powerplant is BMW, does starship miles, mega rapid and sips derv......TurboDiesel Elite is the kiddy! But CD with Leather is acceptable.

If you dont believe me, ask around in the trade, that BMW turbodiesel engine is a winner!!!!!

Omega was rated as the best Vauxhall at it's time, when the Cavalier was still about in 1994. Nice, big comfy car's with the bits on them, built alot better than a Rover 800 for example (german built IIRC)

I would definatly get a TD Estate if i was in that market, BMW unit although slightly detuned is a great engine. CDX spec will do me.

The boot on them is huge. A freind has a 2.0 16v manual one, apparently they are pretty rare, loads of 8vs and auto about he said. Big comfy car, quiet, and his seems to handle pretty well for a car that size.

If my Carlton is anything to go by, nearly 160K without any trouble.
Other than a few worn out items.

Dont think the ever offered the 2.0 8v in the omega....pretty sure it was the 2.016v ecotec unit!!!!

In fact, I dont think they made a 8v Omega......so your friends 16v is common as muck

Manuals are a everyday occurence as well

Your mate has been telling you porkies
