48Vauxhall Omega85.35%
For the second year running, the highest placed Vauxhall is the Omega. And that will disappoint bosses, as fresher models languish below the ageing executive. According to owners, the Omega still has lots to offer as a used buy, and it netted two top 10 finishes. Seventh for ride quality and eighth for comfort prove the cars credentials as a motorway cruiser. You also like the practicality and ease of driving, but the Omega's reliability record is poor and keeping it on the road can be costly.
Your Quotes
“Great value, as I bought it after it lost half of its value due to depreciation. Comfortable on the the motorway, and it offers a generous level of equipment.”
Mr Ian Kisiel - Leics“The Omega is a great car for the money. The last of the big Vauxhalls and sadly missed.”
Mr Shane Godwin - Surrey“Excellent solid car with low service costs.”
Mr Granville Bell - Flints“Very good. Vauxhall stupid for not replacing it when it went end of life - the Signum is not a replacement.”
Mr Teifion Lewis - Moira“Totally suitable to tow the heavy caravan with ease, extremely comfortable and easy to drive. Fast to accelerate and good on braking.”
Mrs Isabel Carrahar - Cheshire“A very comfortable car, but as mine has the 2.2 engine and is a bit underpowered. I got mine at eight months' old and it was less than half the new price. I think it still looks good and it's a shame Vauxhall did not seem to have much faith in this model. The only thing I regret is not finding the extra money for an estate.”
Mr Chris Racki - Surrey“Very comfortable. Reasonably economical for the size of car. Easy, but boring, to drive.”
Mr Eric Frith - Hampshire“Excellent car and it has rear-wheel drive which is difficult to find now. For long journeys it makes for a comfortable, quiet ride which means that you do not get out tired at the end of the journey, unlike a smaller car. The model I have at the moment is very poor on petrol consumption, unlike my last Omega which was actually very economical for the same sized engine.”
Anthony Marsh - Sheffield“Nice to drive, but expensive when things go wrong? Spacious and comfortable, I have not been disappointed with the car overall. The only major problem occurred when the crankshaft sensor needed renewing, but it took the service centre a few days to discover the problem. Otherwise I have only replaced the normal items, such as tyres, brakes and a new exhaust.”
