Overview

Omega offers assured handling, good power units and spacious, comfortable interiors. Engines are the efficient Ecotec units. A better proposition than elderly executives like Scorpio and Rover 800 and it’s almost an affordable alternative to the old BMW 5-Series. It’s just a pity that it’s not visually more attractive. However, if you’re looking for a great car and you don’t care what anyone else thinks then this could be just what you’re looking for.

No-one will dislike your car, they simply won’t notice it. If you need more proof of its credibility as a driving machine, traffic police loved Omega.
