£1000 motorway muncher..... Which one? Non VAG!
« on: 05 June 2012, 21:52 »
So I'm looking for a car to use for motorway miles and general runabout as I've only got my van at the moment, (weddings are expensive!) and the beetles super gay. Everyone's always dissapointed when they see a tattooed goon driving and not a sexy lady.

Ive always liked omegas as they seemed nice for long haul stuff

And the saabs are generally well looked after and have a nice build quality to them.

Toledo.... Keeps me vag!


Or suggest another?

Omegas are GM as are SAABS, both comfy cars and get my thumbs up decent engimes to chomp the motorways. Feck the VAG connection, comfort is more important mate than cost.

Lazy driving is worth the extra few pennies though,  :wink:

If your going for the Omega then get the 2.5 V6 much better.

Yeah not to concerned with economy

It's all about comfort these days, I'm nearly 28 ffs!

Is the 2.5V6 pretty much only in the older ones?

I think the facelifts switched to the 2.6 and 3.2 lumps but both are a lot better then the 2.2
