1995 Vauxhall Omega CDX 2.5 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Loved it
Faults:
Oil and coolant leaks, fixed for a fair price.
Suspension, exhaust, and other consumables for mileage.
Interior plastics a little flimsy, and then I had climate control issues.
Fully serviced on time, the 2.5 engine with the auto box was pretty solid, minor issues aside.
General Comments:
One of my favorite cars from long ago. I bought this Omega and had it for a decade. Solid, comfortable motoring at a nice price.
CDX was a high spec model in 1995. Very comfy seats and plenty of electric features. Loved cruising in this thing. Real presence on the road.
2.5 with the automatic had enough power. Much better than the smaller 2.0 engine, but not that economical at around 24 mpg. But it was a heavy old car!
Easily as good as a BMW 5 series.
Gorgeous in dark red metallic paint with original silver Vauxhall/Opel multi spoke alloys.
Miss cars like this.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
