- VE Omega International 3.0
Hi,
Well, my experiment of downsizing from a 6 cylinder to a 4 cylinder has failed dismally!
I'm considering buying a new VE Omega 'International' 3.0 SIDI (with the leather trim &
18" alloys for $35,990). But I'm a little concerned about the low torque figure.
I mainly use the vehicle for travelling to work in Sydney plus a couple of longer trips to the country each year. I average 15,000 clicks per annum. I'm 50 years old and admit to being a fairly conservative driver. I'm not a leadfoot. I don't tow a van or trailer. I just want a large car which is reasonably economical around town but will comfortably 'swallow up' long distances on a trip.
My question (considering the test drive really doesn't reveal much about the car) is: can anybody tell me if the low torque figure might cause practical issues for me, considering the type of driver I am and the uses I intend for the vehicle? Has anybody else had experience with this new engine?
