1999 Vauxhall Omega Elite review from UK and Ireland
"Superb to drive and very well equipped"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The satellite guidance system needed reprogramming.
General comments?
It has a very high standard of equipment - I cannot think of any extra that I would want.
It has excellent acceleration.
It cruises at high speed very comfortably.
It is very economical for a 3 litre - I get 27 mpg overall.
When the back seats are dropped, the load space is enormous - from the boot right through to back of the front seats. Being a saloon, the load height is only the same as the boot.
The xenon lights are very bright, but because they are self-levelling, beam adjusters are needed for driving on the continent (my previous models had manual adjustment and non-xenon headlight models probably still do).
