Advantages: Unusually good build quality and reliability from a Vauxhall.
Disadvantages: The wife limits my access.

...Having owned our Vectra Sri for some 2 years now I have to say first and foremost it's been unusual. This is due to the quality of this car when most of my experience with Vauxhall have been costly. The 2.6 V6 SRi is without doubt one of Vauxhalls finest cars, in my opinion. From the outside theres little to give away the potential of the car to the casual motorist. Sure theres the body coloured mouldings and bumpers, 16" twin spoke alloys, slightly lower stance, a square rear Irmscher tailpipe and a tiny badge on the side and rear but all these are normally overlooked. Fantastic! Who wants to scream out to the "modified" brigade and attract unwanted prying eyes? NOT ME! Out on the road the Vectra is a great car. It inspires confidence thanks to it's traction control and huge amount of grip in the corners. It never feels... Read review

Advantages: Subtle Design, Performance, Display Quality & Graphics Power
Disadvantages: Design may not suit everyone's taste

...and settings and still able to play the more demanding Supreme Commander. The resolution is something you either love or hate, set native at 1920x1200 on a 15.4" screen it can either be an eyesore or a god send (thankfully for me it's the latter). Howvever the screens scales really well and you can drop down to the more easier to use wide screen resolutions without any loss of quality. I specced my laptop up with 4gb memory, a 200GB Sata Drive, DVD RW Writer, Intel Wireless/Bluetooth Add-On, 1GB Intel Turbo Memory and the Intel T7800 2.6Ghz Core 2 Duo cpu which is blisteringly fast at everything I throw at it. The design as I mentioned is not to everyone's taste but I love it, understated in the black chassis it speaks volumes i.e it's designed to work hard, not just look good sitting on your dining table....

Advantages: Comfortable, roomy, handles well, inexpensive
Disadvantages: Not too cheap to run, dealers

...This is my fourth Omega, and is my newest to date. It is a facelift model with the body coloured bumpers and side trims. Facelift Omegas, were fitted with bigger engines 2.2 rather than 2.0, 2.6 rather then 2.5 and 3.2 rather than 3.0, they are also drive by wire rather than having a throttle cable. The interior is different and some body panels are slightly different, this freshened the design to keep the car looking comtempary. My car is a 2.6 V6 the middle petrol engine, it has 180bhp and is pretty lively, performance is not far off the older 3.0 models. The 2.6 engine is very smooth, definately smoother than the 4 cylinder models are the bigger V6s. The oil is supposed to be changed every 10,000 miles, but responds well to 5,000 mile intervals, cam belts and tensioners MUST be changed every 40,000 miles without fail... Read review

Advantages: Large screen, powerful and stylish
Disadvantages: Expensive, standard graphics card

...I bought this laptop just over a year ago and am really pleased to find that it still has enough punch for what I need - and being a software developer, that's quite a lot. Usually, I find myself getting bored or wanting more from a computer after a year or so, but not with this laptop. With a Pentium 4 2.6GHz processor and 512MB of RAM, it has plenty of power to keep most people happy for quite some time. One of the biggest benefits of this laptop is its 16" screen which is absolutely superb for work purposes as there is plenty of high resolution screen space to play about with - plus the graphics card supports a second monitor so you can connect a standard monitor and extend your desktop across both screens. In combination with the DVD/CD Re-writer, this provides an excellent platform for watching DVDs on. However, the screen... Read review

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: price

...games including the newest and even the future games too. The installed ram on this laptop is great, it has a massive 2gb which is the main reason this laptop runs so fast, also its intel core 2 duo T9500 which is one of the newest processors makes this laptop run so fast. Another thing to note is that this processor runs at speeds like 2.6 Ghz, this is really good and I have never seen another laptop that's runs at these speeds, and all of this makes this laptop absolutely fantastic when it comes to running demanding software and programs. And if the 2 gb isn't enough for you (although I cant see this amount ever not being big enough for you), then you can easily upgrade your ram to 4gb. This will just make everything even faster than it already is, so if you so really need your laptop to be a bit faster then you have got this option... Read review

Advantages: The superb and unique handling on this car is what really captures the drivers mind
Disadvantages: The cost of the car and the on the road price maybe a little to high for many people

...corners and manouvering around other cars. But when you get behind the wheel of an Audi A4 2.6 you really begin to enjoy driving. You feel as though your in control and you can sure feel the car move with you. You can almost be a rally driver, with this car you can choose, you can mould the way it moves, wever your a top businessman or just another lad wanting to feel a little speed. Theres not much road noise inside the car, just you and the engine, when turning corners you can hear your wheels at the surface but hardly ever. The car comes with all of the security features excluding double deadlocks. The car comes with ABS and 6 air bags but is unable to have Traction and Stability control. The size of the boot is over the standard for sure, Its quite large, its not the biggest but its deep and large. It would fit many shopping... Read review

Advantages: Roomy, Luxurious, very well equipped, well built. Quite economical (manual)
Disadvantages: Expensive to run at high mileage, not a car for inexperienced drivers.

...Mine was a silver, pre-facelift 1999, company owned, 2.5 Omega with a manual gearbox. The 2.6 CDX was the closest category I could find to post this review. Our car covered 105,000 miles in four and a half years. It never once let us down and took my (Polish) wife and I to South Eastern Poland on five occasions. Over that mileage it averaged 27.1mpg and cost 39p per mile to run. If anyone reading this has ever travelled on Polish roads, they will know that both the standards of driving there and the quality of the roads themselves are so poor that you really need a car that you feel safe in. Due to its excellent ride, adaquate performance and extraordinary brakes, the Omega was perfect for this task. We're not looking forward half as much to doing this 2500 mile round trip in our new Honda Accord Diesel. The 6 cylinder Omega... Read review

Advantages: fast in processing with sophisticated features.
Disadvantages: might not be known by every body.

...This is the first time of using an athlon processor for a long time; I have been used to Intel processor since using personal computers. Well I bought this because of the processor type of the computer, which is athlon AMD 64x2 5000+/2.6ghz. It has tower production form factor, which means that it has a tower CPU type. Well I got this because of two major factors; the number one factor is because of the processor type, which is athlon, and second because of the window vista certification in it. I have observed one major thing between Intel and athlon processor and found out that the athlon processor is much faster than the Intel processor but Intel being the oldest computer chip makers must have dominated the market. The personal computer has one of the recent advances in computer and the most sophisticated feature, which... Read review
