Costs
A lot more thirsty than the 2.0 Vectra it replaced.

On the road
Driving
Quiet and comfortable, but suspension too soft and can be nervous a high speeds.
Performance
On motorways, fantastic. On the high street, don't try and dart anywhere - you'll not make it.

Living with it
Reliability
18 months old and 33k miles. Now needs new power steering pump and 4 new tyres (scrubs outside fronts, apperently common on Omegas).
Image
Mid 50s executive.
Comfort
This car replaced a vectra. I felt that the Vectra was a nicer interior, but the Omega is fantastic for cabin space.

Security
Nothing special. Standard Vauxhall deadlocks.
Service
Tried to tell me that what I know is wrong with the car isn't, eut eventually get it right.
