1999 Vauxhall Omega CDX review from UK and Ireland
"Its got the lot for not a lot of dough"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One front shock absorber was leaking on getting the car so replaced both by Vauxhall dealer.
Poor wheel alignment on getting the car so had adjustable camber bolts fitted to the front and the whole thing laser aligned - dead straight and true now.
General comments?
I had a 2.0 16v CD for 5 and a half years before this one so knew what I was getting into and after 6 months with this new one I am still very pleased.
Had to do a couple of things as detailed above when I got it as you can see elsewhere here.
This one has the leather option and radio cassette cd changer with built in phone. The list of creature comforts is too big to list here.
Fuel consumption can be frightening if you are not aware before you get one. 24 mpg around town and up to 33 mpg on long runs. Suggest you do not get one if you are worried about fuel costs.
It is fast - 142 mph so tires have to be high rated 16 inch 225x55 profile which do not come cheap.
I intend to have another one next and am not happy that they will stop production of the Omega in summer 2003.
