1999 Vauxhall Omega GLS 2.5 V6 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
The four door muscle car
Faults:
The fuel gauge makes me vomit, but other than that nothing.
General Comments:
Bought the car in August 2006 and its just brilliant.
Great performance from the big v6.
Recently had an encounter with an integra type r when a boy racer tried to overtake. He must have had a 1.8 liter WOW RUN FOR COVER ;-) OK fair enough he could have had it chipped with a cold air intake and a go faster stripe, but I have 2.5 liters and 6 cylinders and that's um... eh.. MORE
Its even funnier with a civic :-}
However there is one huge problem. Every time I go to a garage for petrol I fell like I've been mugged.
I'm going to get a 3 liter next summer HE HE!!
PS. There is no replacement for cubic displacement.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I'm sorry, but I love the omega 3.0 mv6! my dad has one, but an integra type R or a civic type R would leave it for dust: (

Big engines - V8s and six cylinders - are the ticket for me personally, but the truth is 4 bangers can be more than capable. They are usually more highly tuned and power markedly lighter vehicles so their power-to-weight ratio is more favourable. I recall an American acquaintance being incredulous about my claim that certain four-cylinder powered cars could out accelerate a V8!

Some 4 cylinder cars can out run a v6 or v8. But if you can find anyone that's doesn't love the sound, the fell or the power of a big v6 or v8 I do not want to meet that person.

Even so, a Civic Type R is far quicker than a 2.5 and 3 litre Omega!
