Non Omega, I guess it would have to be my old Astra GTE. Bit of a girls car though.

Best Vauxhall by far would be my trusty Silver Bullet, the first Omega I ever owned, and that I still have after nearly 10yrs, despite buying purely for a trip to France...

That's funny, as I bought my Mig for a trip to France in 2006 and fully intended to get rid as soon as I got back.  However......  ::)  ;D

tough question!! got to be the plethora of senny 24v i owned plus the carlton Gsi,s even blowing them up on track days it was less than a days work to put the next engine in,
damn good second place was my first miggy estate tdM746 fdf,hated it when i picked it up,thought hang on these are supposed to be brilliant?
however with a few tweaks ::)I ended up owning it for over 6years, bought on ebay for 600,put another 87thou on top of the 79 it had done when i bought it,sold it here in spain to an english guy who owned a jag,he preffered the mig estate gave me 700 for it,as far as i know he still has it and drives it around marbella!! damn good car for towing or getting your foot down,funniest thing was taking it around track on a track day for a laugh, it didnt do to badly!!

Surprised the LC powered Omega didn't get a mention. :-\

quite simple i read the original post as a daily driver car? the Mega Meega was a toy? although i often wished i had kept it!!

Got to say so far, the Insignia, and I've owned several Vauxhalls in the past.

Hard to tell my 2 current Vx apart really.
Love my Carlton 2.6 CDXi estate, have done some work on it and it is now just how I like it,
however, I also love my 2.5 TD Elite Estate for the way she drives, very similar to the Carlton just slightly more comfortable.

For meeting its needs my old 1.2 Nova Swing, had it for 9 years and put 80K on it.

It got used for the commute, taking stuff to the tip, moving beds the works and was thrashed all the way.

Second is either the 1.8Ls Cav or the Omega Cdx faclift.

Mine has just gone past 150,000 .Takes everything in its stride and costs about the same to run as an old pushbike. :y
