2.6 or 3.2?
« on: 21 November 2011, 18:07:17 »

As above, is there much difference in the real world between these two engines?

Either in CDX/Elite or MV6 guise??

Cheers all :y

3.2, if your going to get one of these crappy V6 engines might as well get the biggest!

In what way?  The bigger engine is clearly, substainially more powerful, but the smaller engine is gear differently to try and make it feel like it has some power.  But will never beat a 3.2.  A tuned manual 2.6 may get close to an auto 3.2 up to 100mph

Smaller engine should be slightly more frugal, and slightly cheaper to insure.

True.

Is there a noticeable difference in the performance and fuel consumption?

Obviously taking into consideration servicing history etc ;)

Not really, my trusty 4 pot is much, much smoother at idle from inside cabin. Only way you can tell engine is running is rpm reading.

V6 is considerably louder about town, noticed small vibration from brake pedal when stationary. Engine can be quite lumpy at idle at times, been told this is normal for DBW V6  :o

Have to jack up car for an oil change, no need on 4 potter. Ohh and yeh, it uses a shit ton of fuel  ;D

However when progress needs to be made, all is forgiven!  :D

Oh mines smooth once your rolling, mines got 137k on the clock.

Every V6 I've been in (including a 60k one) my 4 potter is quieter  :)

Smaller engine so no surprise really.

Some 20 horsepower and a few Nm's more in 3,2 with cost of higher consumption (Sadly,  :'( :'( :'( :'( we did not get many 3,2's in Finland when Omegas were new so they are not available here  :'( :'( :'( :'(, nor seem to be too many in Germany either but you guys have lots of them... Not that I'm jealous or anything)

So, if I had a chance, I'd take the 3,2. More grunt and for fuel economy Omega is not your choice with ANY engine.

I thought the difference between the factory figures for 3.0 and 3.2 was only 3? 208 for 3.0 and 211 for 3.2?
