Title: how big is the boot
Post by: hankthejeweller on 27 August 2007, 22:36:39
in a omega saloon.
while i would expect it to be gargantuan but as i want to fit or buy one with lpg i am worried about space.
i made the mistake of assuming the boot was big enough when i bought the astra (had a 306 before which was ok boot wise)but when i got home to my shock i couldnt fit golf clubs in properly as the boot isnt wide enough...what do the golfers out there reckon..(i could get 3 sets with trollies in my old xr3i)

Yes, managed 3 sets of clubs with trollies, one of them a Powacaddy. Bags, suits, society prizes and nothing in the cabin. Plenty of room. Unless you play with a stupid long driver, then you may have to cut the head off to get it in.

We went to france this year and had the boot full with 2 large suitcases, 2 holdalls, coolbox, various carrier bages with odds and sode in, 2 x duvets and 8 pillows

If you want a BIG boot .... buy a Senator!  ::) Especially true if your Omega has the Bose amp as it takes away height from an already not as deep boot. :-?

Perhaps those with LPG could photo their boots to show space.  LPG seems to take up a third to half of boot space on saloons.

And as AndyB mentioned, the bose amp on Elites thats up a lot of height.


Not sure I agree with his Senny statement - I'd say about te same, though I think the actual appeture is bigger on senny.
