Good luck with your test and getting an Omega. I found all sorts of useful advice on here which made buying my first Omega much easier... Insurance price is a bit of an ouch though but probably par for the course I guess. Anyway - welcome!

Jun 2007 at 21:15 Hello and welcome to the site. Given your age and insurance woes, I'd plump for a 2.2 CD or above. If choice and finance permit an MV6 (sport) or Elite (toys) would be best choice, but both are V6 and pricey to insure

Hello and welcome to the site as said dependant on funds and personal choice a 2.5 V6 isn't that much more to run fuel wise than a 2.2 4 pot. MV6 is the sportier version Elite has all the toys and you get alot of "bang" for your bucks due to heavy depreciation Thumbs Up!

good luck with your test and be sure to ask any questions about buying a luxobarge on here cos they know there stuff Cool

Congrats on passing your test. Despite Migs being value for money ins. groups are a bit steep.
Try confused.com & enter a few models you fancy (cars!!) then you'll get an idea what to shop for.
Let us know when you find your Mig. Smiley
