Title: Hello from a snowy Manchester
Post by: encino on 17 December 2009, 20:49:22

I'd like to say hello to everybody and also take the opportunity to ask a question, if I may.
I will be buying an Omega early in the new year and wondered which model you would recommend. I fancy a facelift V6 CDX or Elite auto but which is the best engine to have? MPG is not a deciding factor as I do a very low annual mileage, but I like lots of toys. I have a budget of £2k. Thanks in advance for any wise words you can offer. :)
Oh, and a happy Christmas to all.
Roy

Hello & Welcome  :y

Plenty of toys in either of those.

Best engine depends on your needs...

3.2 are auto only...
2.5, 2.6, 3.0 can be had in either.


2.5/6 manual = good performance and economy
2.5/6 auto = pretty good performance, less econmy
3.0/2 = better performance, less economy

if you post some more exacting requirements in the help section, sure you will get a more comprehensive answer  :y

Hi Roy and welcome to the forum :y

If its toys you want then a 3.0 or 3.2 Elite is the way to go :)

Hello and welcome Roy, if you want the auto then I personally would try and get a 3.2 as mpg is not your main concern.  Go for the most power possible, then it's there when you need it.
