Vauxhall Omega Estate 2.5i V6 CDX 5d Auto (LT) (1998/R) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
An absolute bargain - if well maintained. Mileage seems to be irrelevant. 123k miles and still going strong...
Costs
Cheap for a large 2.5 litre, but allow for the odd expensive bill.
-
On the road
Driving
Handles superbly for an estate. Traction control is essential.
Performance
Surprisingly quick after take-off.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Good, but beware water leaks and dashboard electrics. Interior trim can come loose.
Image
Who cares?
Comfort
Great - better that a Merc or BMW (have just sold a BMW to buy another Omega - I prefer them).
-
Security and Service
Security
Dowdy image can have its plus points.
Service
Vauxhall dealers are too expensve and don't keep enough spare parts in stock. I use a specialist now.
