Vauxhall Omega Estate 2.2 16V CD 5d Auto (2001/51) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
But only pre-used. Cannot think who buys new then after nine month sells for less than 50% of new cost.
Costs
Only paid to date for first service after 12 months at 15k miles. At £180.00, it would have been more reasonable if local dealer had not added his 'recommended extras', which added about £40.00 to the bill.

On the road
Driving
Good (for a family estate) and VERY comfortable.
Performance
Good. It's 2.2 litres dragging a big body, after all.

Living with it
Reliability
Only had a sensor fail, which local dealer advised was nothing to worry about, provided car was booked in for service at 12 months. So had light lit on dash board for one month.
Image
I think it's a good looking car. Ok 'Vauxhall' is not Rolls Royce image, however Volvo is now owned by Ford, as are Jaguar…
Comfort
Really comfortable, after the 1999 Volvo V70, which was the most uncomfortable car I have ever had, and comfort was the reason for it's disposal.

Security and Service
Security
Seems good.
Service
Would have been better, but I felt as if I had been 'ripped off' with 'recommended extras' such as a litre of oil in the boot which you may need, fuel tank additive, etc.
