Opel Omega is designed as a limousine for the modest or those whose company cannot afford, say, BMW Series 7. However, this huge car can also be used for family trips in an affordable way, as the most attractive thing about the Opel Omega is its size and comfort.

APPEARANCE - Opel Omega

Five adults can easily fit into an Opel Omega, the trunk is out-of-the-box, its comfort is level, and the rear bench folds down when needed. In the cockpit, we refer to the huge number of buttons that require some adjustment. The quality of the built-in materials itself is not bad, though at first glance you expect more. The Opel Omega has rear-wheel drive and is quite comfortable for long cruises, and the controls are soft enough so you won't strain much in the hustle and bustle of the city.

ENGINE - Opel Omega

When the Opel Omega was launched, the standard petrol was 2,0 with 134 horsepower. It was later replaced by 2,2, and the larger ones include 2,5 V6 and 3,0 MV6 engines. Of the four cylinders, which we recommend because they are sufficient, you can expect an average consumption of about six liters of unleaded petrol, at least according to factory data. For diesel engineers, you are advised to avoid the 2,0DTI originally installed, but opt ​​for the 2,2 model or better, though the rare 2,5 TDI is a straight six-cylinder originally from BMW-a. The average consumption for these larger ones is about 7-8 liters, though around the city this can go up to thirteen, especially if you have a heavy foot on the throttle.

FAULTS - Opel Omega

Great pain for everyone Opel Omega's are suspension and suspension, so be sure to bring someone who has a knack for mechanics if you are not able to make your own judgment. The engines didn't turn out to be the brightest either, so let's say a gear belt could cause a problem, already about 50000 kilometers, much earlier than the scheduled replacement interval, so check if the previous owner had similar problems.

Also, take a good look at the interior of the Opel Omega, as it is not exaggerated with quality materials, and rattling and shaking everything in the cabin is a normal occurrence. Lastly, test all electronics quickly as there were no major issues here but it's safe for sure.
