I liked the manual box in the first omega but prefer the auto especially when stop starting town work . One foot 2 pedals is best ...

Someone (fairly sure he's not far away in this thread... ) will be along in a moment to tell you that you're doing it wrong and an auto requires two feet

I know he uses 2 feet  Mr B but thats wrong

All these manual Luddites should try driving around London in a 44ton artic with a 16sped manual,then do it in a 44 ton artic with I-shift or astronic. They would soon be auto lovers

I drive buses, I'd kill for a manual box, just for the extra element of control. Must admit our autos aren't anywhere near as advanced or controllable as an I-shift though.

for your information , a 97 2.5 v6 manual (only head gasket change) with port polish, 3.0 cams consume 38 mpg on a long run with  slight attention..


also same car from cold engine short distance rush hour driving in a cold weather consumes 28 mpg..


an auto has no way of making those figures..


and I'm too sorry for those years I used mine with autobox..  long pedal travel can be arranged ..


I now also have an auto omega from a friend to sell which I drive from time to time,  2 very different cars!! to say the least..


worth every penny spent on conversion..

If I wanted mpg / km per litre I would buy a small city car 

I already have one.. 

and please note the time I bought omega..  it was 9 years ago when fuel prices were considered to be expensive  but less than half of now
