So I bought my first Omega on Sunday
29. Jan 2008 at 15:36
 
It is an 2002 2.2l CD Auto. 

I must admit, I was not looking for a Vauxhall, in fact I was looking for a BMW 3 series, but I was swayed when I drove the Omega.

I was impressed with the space, comfort, build quality and also the smooth engine.  I am yet to drive it very far at all, as I have only driven it home.  I am still waiting for my new insurance documents before I can drive it Smiley

I gotta say I am impressed by my first Vauxhall.  My dad has had 2 Vectras, one of which saved his life in a massive smash on the M25, so I am assured of safety!  Most important when I carry my daughter in there Smiley

Nice to meet you all!  Pics to follow Smiley

Welcome aboard Sam. Omegas do drive well so glad you've found that out. As said, lovely colour. Is that a scuff on the drivers door? Undecided
