Title: Omega replacement.
Post by: MickAP on 15 August 2010, 11:46:50
Don't think so, but I liked it so bought it.

It was supposed to have been the replacement for the Omega model by Vx, so they say, but didn't catch on. Yes it's FWD so never would!

My TD estate is about to disappear shortly, been sold.

The Signum well, it don't half shift and very frugal on the old juice (diesel), but boy those seats are hard compared to the Omega. It's like sitting on a park bench compared to sitting in armchairs in the estate.

If you like it Mick, and they are lovely cars, then why not! :y :y :y :y

No matter what most of us would wish the Omega will generally be gone within the next few years, in the same way as the Carlton's and Senator's have.

No, that is a great looking car and worth driving 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

hard seats is a good reason not to buy a car

Nice car, the Signum and I love the colour.
Has it got the fridge that fits between the rear seats?
I'm sort of looking at these (along with Vectra C estate) to replace my MV6, but not sure if I can get my drums in one yet.
The Fiat 1.9CDTi is certainly a good powerful, yet economical, engine - not without faults though, especially the more desirable 150 bhp unit.

No fridge in the rear, they can be fitted though, but costly I believe. Some pop up on ebay now and again.

Only downside is I fetched a lawnmower and some plants from B & Q on Sat (photo in their car park) Now in the estate I would have easily got all of that lot in without folding the rear seats. The Signum boot isn't all that big, couple of large suitcases and that's about it. But with the seats folded flat, and they do easily, it's cavernous in their.
And don't expect a child seat to fit in the centre position easily and be safe. I had this problem, I tried and found none would fit there. Ok to fit either side though, but that's no good when you have to fit mum and dad in as well.
