Well I voted never. Reason being since giving Omega to mum I have had to drive what most on here would call boring FWD eurobox (polite)

That said the Astra does what it say on the tin. I do not have the bonnet open every week, or a door card off or trying to patch the horrid facelift interior. Or the multitude of other problems that come with them.

I am not knocking the Omega, far from it. It is fast comfortable and on a run delivers good MPG for what it is. Also I have never been stranded in an Omega. It is just the vast amount of small faults that continually occur that drove me mad.

I voted 'Sometimes' purely on my experience and figured most would feel the same no matter what they got.

Loving it, does what it says on the tin, no regrets on getting rid of the Omega, although, during nine years of ownership (2 Omegas), it's still a fine car.

Do I miss the Omega - 'fraid not.

But, with the Insignia, do "funny thinks happen at the supermarket"?
