You're off the mark with engine size. The 1.6l Focus is pretty underpowered, especially the newer models, and a 2.5 V6 may sound a nice prospect but in a heavy lump like the Omega, it doesn't make for a quick car compared to some of the hot even warm hatches. |
Did some quick searching on the 106 1.4l quicksilver, pretty rare car, expensive, 75bhp is what the figures are saying unless im looking at the wrong car so its probably not the best option for me. Yes an omega is a heavy car but i reckon its still faster than your average car hence why small engine cars feel like a downgrade and dont forget im not gonna be racing hot or warm hatches...yet

TBH i dont mind if i find a saxo within my budget that has a lot of mileage or has been a little ragged because that way the car in some respects will be a banger but still fun to drive (hopefully)
