2000 Vauxhall Omega CDX 2.5 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
A vastly underrated car, with a luxurious level of comfort combined with Germanic build quality
Faults:
Power Steering intermittently heavy. Cured by new steering pump.
Balance on radio (in the front, the radio switches to the right or the left speaker, but will not play through both).
General Comments:
The car is very quiet and comfortable with a very smooth ride.
It has a cavernous boot and the back seats fold down to increase the depth.
It is very well equipped with a wonderful on board computer system.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

What can I say I have had my Omega estate for 2 years in May.. Even though it is only the 2.0 16v there have been no problems covering its 62302 miles. It may be slower than the 2.5, but you can still have fun on the roundabouts. Yes I am still young and could get faster cars, but my company pushes you towards Vauxhalls. The reason I got the Omega over a Vectra GSI was towing. It may struggle up big hills, but wouldn't you towing a 23 foot Sportsboat.
People might say they are big and clumsy, but just try one out and if you're like me and like a bit of fun, try it in the rain (there is nothing like having the back end go out on you - my Vectra 2.5 could never do that).
