Vauxhall Omega Saloon 2.5i V6 CDX 4d Auto (1995/N) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Loads of toys for the money.
Costs
What more can you expect from a 2.5 automatic? Fuel consumption is reasonable, attaining 33mpg on a long run but less than 20mpg around town.

On the road
Driving
Surprisingly involving for a large luxury car.
Performance
A little bit sluggish, but it is a heavy car; once on a motorway it really shines through, covering miles in relaxing comfort.

Living with it
Reliability
Never let me down, although it did start leaking oil from the cambox covers and that filled the spark plug voids and caused a misfire. Gaskets to fix the problem were expensive (about £60 for a couple of bits of rubber), did the work myself, so saved.
Image
Not bad image - bit of an old duffer's car, but I thought it was pretty stylish and my wife loved it.
Comfort
Everything is where it should be, the only problem being a lack of adjustment for the lumbar region, but this could just have been the car I had.

Security and Service
Security
Deadlocks, immobiliser and alarm.
Service
Had little to do with the dealer - they are all the same as far as I am concerned.
