This thread is from 2009 ??? Had a rover 827 SLi as someone else mentioned. Had the Honda engine. Loved it. Quick and reliable. As for Omega's can't comment never had one. Would love a Lotus Carlton though. ;D http://www4.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201214461167944/sort/default/usedcars/model/carlton/make/lotus/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/brandnew/quicksearch/true/radius/1500/page/1/postcode/ec1a1ah?logcode=p

Briefly had a 2.5 V6 Omega. Lots of problems with it, not as comfy even though it was an Elite, and a blasted rust-bucket! Wouldn't have another.

Never owned a Vauxhall. Never felt drawn to the brand...maybe because plenty of people I've known over the years never seemed to have a good word to say about them. ???

I had an omega, 2.5 cdi estate, got to admit I liked it, very economical and pretty comfy, but when anything went wrong with it , it was a proper headache getting parts. Got rid of it in the end after the front pulley went, vauxhall kept messing me about saying things like the part was only available in Germany , when they did get it, it was the wrong one. I just gave up in the end, and just another thing, is it just me or does vauxhall leather look like vinyl?

yeah ive always thought that when you look into newer cars even like the mondeo mk3s the leather dosnt look right. Not as soft/comfortable? A neighbour has a w reg bmw 5 sieries and he wanted to know how we clean our leather in the scorpio, so we took the bottles of auto glym round and tried some on the back pocket he came back later and it was staarting to crack!!! Maybe fake?? im not sure but yeah i have always said that.

one of the very early founder members on here; a chap called Jamie, had an Omega after he got rid of his Scorpio!!

jamie was the inventor of many of the bolt on modifications for the Scorpio such as the headlamp extender etc. Don't know what happened to him as I havent spoke to him for many years!
