I got a 4 year old 3.0 MV6 automatic with LPG gas conversion for £4,250 back in 2005. The kick-down in sports mode was awesome. It went from 70 to over 100 in the blink of an eye. It was a great car with full leather interior but the gas tank took up over half of the boot space.
Well I suppose Vauxhall did eventually do the Corvette V8 thing in the Monaro VXR8...but that was about 5 years too late and came as a 2 door only so limiter practicality. A V8 Omega tourer would have been an awesome practical but fun family car! Missed opportunity there, Vauxhall!
My dad had a pretty face lift 2.5 V6 Tourer estate - wonderful thing and I haven’t seen a single other tourer ever anywhere. Then he got the 3.0 estate in champagne paint and the larger alloys. Such a wonderful thing and I think the face lift made it uglier
Oh yes! That was a special edition. The saloon version was called the Reflection, and I only recall seeing one once many years ago. P.S. Pleased to hear your dad's face lift made him pretty 😋
2.6 v6 and 3.2 v6 are good motors if everything is working and money's been spent on them. including speed sensitive steering working correctly. Wouldn't bother with a manual in these cars as autos are just so smooth. I have had both v6s and a 2.2 16 petrol. OK engine uses less fuel but doesn't pull away like a v6 model at all. cost me 10 pound in petrol for my journey to work in 2.2 and 2.6/3.2 was nearly double. but moved when you got to a hill.
Thanks buddy I'm going to look at one of these old barges tomorrow,always wanted one but stuck to bmw,the wife just got made redundant so my mint E34 had to go so finally a little late but will have one in the next week if I find a good one👍🏻🇬🇧
Still on the road: The vehicle details for T646 MPP are: 2000 Vauxhall Omega MV6 3.0 manual Date of Liability 01 07 2014 Date of First Registration 17 08 1999 Year of Manufacture 1999 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 2962cc CO₂ Emissions Not Available Fuel Type PETROL Export Marker N Vehicle Status Licence Not Due Vehicle Colour GOLD Vehicle Type Approval Not Available
Its still on the road from what i can tell but the owner is neglecting it according to the MOT sheets. its had corroded brake pipes for years. it only has about 100k on the clock. not bad for an old bus.
Two words for this car FUCKING CRAP!!!! Vauxhall has really gone down hill since the 80s and 90s cars the ecotec engine's are weak not like the redtop engine's which are bulletproof

Did he say “Aluminium dash board” ....?
I guess he meant the trim .. that is mostly "wood" in these
holy. I did a review on a 2.2 litre version of one of these beautiful cars.

Fun fact these are a Cadillac in the USA,can't remember the model though but think it sounds like citara
So. Lets be honest. Would you rather take the MV6 or. The C30NE (3L 24v straight six)? Im just curious to know
I would prefer a Senator B 3.0i 24v over any Omega that's not a Lotus
Better than a Bentley
Don't talk nonsense

TOP CAR...I HAD ONE. 1.8 BENZIN
you probably not, omega has got no 1.8 engine lol
Lol
@@Piotrek4500 Lol he had a Vectra most likely
for a big car the interior storage is weak, many compartments that nothing fits inside. great motor though.
SO MUCH BEIGE!
I wish Ian Royle would sort out his grammar. Prepositions don't go at the end of a sentence and Vauxhall isn't plural. (0:27).
Ian Royle, journalist with no command of grammar. Ian Royle who knows nothing of modern diesel engines.
