Overview

The estate makes a stronger case for itself than the saloon by being rather more desirable on the used market; you get a lot of good car for your money and it makes a great tow car. 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; in fact it’s close to being an affordable alternative to the old BMW 5-Series.

If you need more proof of its credibility as a driving machine, the traffic police loved Omega.
