1997 Vauxhall Omega CD TD 2.5 turbo diesel from UK and Ireland
Summary:
A big comfortable cruiser with a superb engine
Faults:
Side/headlight switch shorted out... replaced under warranty.
Column stalk switch for the headlamp flasher kept sticking on... replaced under warranty.
General Comments:
Big, comfortable, frugal and reliable.
The BMW 2.5 TD is a superb 6 cylinder engine which is smooth, powerful, quiet and best of all, extremely economical. Best so far is 47 mpg driving mixed motorway and A roads from Littlehampton to Enfield, North London. Average 34/35 mpg round town.
Electrical components appear to be the weakest link... Goodbye.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have an Omega 2.5 TD GLS. It has been a superb car - reliable, fast, economical, and the engine is so smooth. It has done over 80,000 without a problem. Blinding car and engine.
Well done Vauxhall for putting in a BMW engine - 10/10.
