just a little larger maybe

The one big point I like on the Omega is the rear wheel drive, hate the fwd junk.
= more trouble as the wheel coupling to the body is not as strong (as is steers as well as drives)

Also law of physics, it is easier too push than pull…

Newbie Welcome Area / basic question on the Omega

Hi all,

First a little background,
I have just returned to the UK from Australia where I drove a V6 Holden Commodore.

Question is…
The Omega is basically the same with one vital difference. Some of them have a small 4 cylinder motor.

Given that this is a larger car how well does such a small engine cope?
And what RPM will one sit on while traveling at around 70mph?
