Had both cars, now have a facelift, much better car allround, ride comfort many other things, but that is my opinion, i like them both.

As for the Corsa, Mrs Miggy and Daughter Miggy have one each and they are a brilliant cars.

Take a look at the link below.

I also like the facelift because it's all colour coded and i like the updated interior. I especially like Mike's Irmscher Omega.
Dont get me wrong though, i still really like the older ones aswell. :y

I did agree that facelifts didn't look as good as mini facelifts, but i they have grown on me, think in certain colours they look lovely... Silver, Black are my favourite although Bob Dents Estate looks the Business :y

Its all personal preference.

The facelift does ride a little better, with less windnoise.  But the interior quality is up to Vx's recent poor standard of finish.  Prefacelift interior more hardwearing.

Personally, I quite like back of facelift, though needs the lip on the boot to set it off. Much prefer prefacelift front.

I do just Lurve MikeDundee`s beautiful silver machine; I`m really envious Mike!  ;)

The one thing I really-wish is that my `99 CDX estate had the later model`s roof-spoiler; the rear-gate and window gets soooooo dirty on mine; I figure the spoiler would really clean up the airflow and keep the window much cleaner?  :y

I know I'm biased, but I think my Pre? Mini? Facelift looks
just right in this colour.

Log book says it's 'Gold', some of the paperwork in the service
wallet calls it 'Champagne'.

Dunno which it is, just know that I like it. Which as other folk have
said, is what matters. It's all personal preference.

All people should have the pleasure of owning an Omega at least once.
If not, they should petition the European courts for denial of their
Human Rights.  ;D ;D

Having owned a pre-facelift prior to the current meega, the only thing I don't like about the facelift is the interior door cards, as the leather door cards on the pre-facelift I think are the dogs gonads :y

I've mentioned a couple of times that the facelifts look a bit placcy & i still prefer the mini facelifts but......slowly.......as i take a bit of notice......facelifts are growing on me. A Mig's a Mig. :y

I prefer the climate layout of the facelift, bonnet on the pre facelift, interior a mix really, exterior facelift apart from bonnet

Me too... If I could mix and match I'd have:

Front end: prefacelift
Rear end: facelift
Interior: prefacelift
Bumpers/door strips: facelift

Oh and a 3.2 with manual gearbox... if VX hadn't kept the best for the cops only >:(

Almost my ideal Omega, although I think interior is more 50/50 IMO.

Worst bit of facelift I think is the bonnet, I think the front goes too low into the bumper.

They say cars have faces, so if it was a person, I would expect their lower lip to be folded down!  ;D

Hey Debs, Just read your post about wanting a rear spoiler on your tailgate. Iv'e got a facelift elite estate with the spoiler. It doesn't make any difference, you still get c**p all over the rear window in no time at all! Best thing to get is a nice pair of Vaux rear mudflaps. My mate has them and it really helps. :y
