I've driven a whole plethora of different vehicles and IMHO german marques & swedish are far more better engineered and reliable versus lesser marques.

Ah, you didn't mention it had been changed

The Vauxhall Omega is German, anyway. It's an Opel. Though, it seems part of your problem is that Vauxhall are useless for customer service (isn't every marque now, though...).

I'm a fan of Japanese engineering, if not their actual run of the mill cars. (I do like the stuff that is utterly insane, though. I tried to convince my girlfriend she would like a Nissan Pao, she's having none of it).
