With the stopwatch in hand, the Omega is imposed on pure performance, something testimonial, because the automatic exchange of Peugeot 607 helps achieve a greater appreciation Driving in the French model In the case of mechanical, both models use the best repertory TECHNOLOGICAL available in each brand, V6 petrol engine with superior performance, with 207 hp and 218 EEC in the Peugeot 607 and Omega respectively. The silence and smoothness are other common factors in both mechanical,
which affects the Peugeot 607 with more emphasis, something that generally moves to touch the car. Both engines associated with four-speed automatic transmission (the Peugeot is also offered with manual shift) the operation of the 3.0 V6 is commendably fine French and progressive.

The German-3.2 V6 that replaces the previous 3 liters, improving performance and emissions, is more temperamental.
You feel and hear more, but nothing to dislike, as a good V6. Since the first millimeter of throttle the start of the march is instant, the escalation of turns more blunt, but also changes gears less disguised.

Only the lack of a fifth related that avoided, as in the Opel, the defendant jumps between gears, mainly in reductions, leading to increases annoying regimen of-fourth to third, 1,500-rpm, does not allow you to round off this enjoyable panorama.

The Omega still plays the trump card to mark differences in their favor with a price content Opel, by tradition, has been the most recognized brand generalist in the segment of luxury saloons, and in fact shows that the Omega is among its rivals the best selling models, but the new challenge of Peugeot shows a refinement in all respects superior.
The Omega still plays the trump card to mark his differences with a price for content, which in the case of this new version Design Edition is based on an enhancement that includes interesting additions, such as the navigation system, GSM telephone, rear suspension height constant, thermal seats, and so on. In this regard, the Peugeot 607 has no gap, but its price is also required to have faith in the product.

Membership of the segment saloons representation can only be done in compliance with total perfection in all the items that are considered essential to do so, as a distinguished aesthetics and marked character or a more prominent search to the comfort of its occupants.
Both with his Peugeot 607, as the Volvo S80 give the size in terms of meeting the requirements to be integrated in their own right in this club of distinction. Peugeot to time as it did not have representation of a saloon with the package that has this category and Peugeot 607.
Volvo takes more time inserted in the sector of the automotive world, thanks, among other things, to turn that in a few years has given its entire range.
Certainly the aesthetics of both models meet the prerequisites for its cataloging and representations.
Exterior dimensions rather generous lines of modern design and attractive, but without major concessions to the most radical modernism, a good range of equipment and a large list of options to be able to customize our vehicle.
Peugeot has done a good job for stylistic mask to some extent, which measures 4.87 meters this vehicle, but his view from any angle reveals that this is a big car.
Something similar happens with the Volvo, where the drawn lines of his body do not seem as big as it is actually, but while having a presence in high-level sedan. Another of the sections that "scores" when getting to this elite class is the presence of a mechanical cylinder with a high, a good dose of power and something more than the usual four-cylinder.
And note here also get our two protagonists, as their engines are nearly 3 liters engine capacity and six-cylinder, V with 210 hp for the Peugeot and in line for the Volvo 204 hp.

Certainly there are few negative points that can be put to both engines, not to say that none, because its performance is truly outstanding and their biggest differences are more for the kind of changing gears that lead, which by their mechanical performance. And for this there is nothing better than seeing the benefits offered by these two models.
Obviously having automatic change makes the recoveries that are more prominent, especially when going from 80 to 120 km / h, in which measurements are needed less than 7 seconds, a figure that can be seen as to make a really good overtaking quickly and safely. HIGHLIGHTS Volvo offers two possibilities in the automatic exchange S80, one conventional and another,
called Geartronic, with sequential actuation. Something similar happens with the accelerations, although in this case the numbers are not as good as the proportion of recoveries, but are consistent with that obtained in its category of vehicles and features. The differences between the two vehicles are practically nonexistent, moving in a range of places, both in terms of acceleration, as recoveries and overtaking.
Without a doubt, in a vehicle of these characteristics can not miss the presence of the automatic change, an element which, although not very respondent in our market, is slowly gaining followers. And is that their presence allows Driving a more relaxed and comfortable in urban areas, not in the least reduce the pleasure of driving on the road.
Volvo offers two possibilities in the automatic exchange S80, one conventional and another, called Geartronic, with sequential drive, while Peugeot, for its part, offers the kind of sequential shift automatic developed jointly with Renault, gifted in both models of four relationships change. The latter is one of the few drawbacks that can be attributed to these gearboxes, and that relationships are very long and there is a big jump between gears. The change of Peugeot has three separate laws of operation, normal, sport and winter, and, furthermore, has a system that adapts to a certain extent of the changes underway in the form of lead each. Like all systems that have sequential shift type, has two lanes, one in which the change does all the work automatically and another in which the driver is that, by moving the lever forward or back, and climbs low gears.
Also, as is customary in the sequential mode, the system goes up or down a gear that are necessary when we get closer to the cutting area or pisamos the throttle fully. The change of the Volvo is conventional, with a couple of actuation grid and to move from one position to another must be operating a latch. This is less "intelligent" than his rival, but also has a position to start in slippery areas. One of the main features of the change in the Peugeot is the smoothness with which makes changes underway in both acceleration and in off, so that virtually no notice that the system is doing its job. The following paragraph to be satisfied with the behavior on the road, because there is no point in having a spacious cab, a good power or a change that gives us the automatic transmission, if the chassis and suspensions are not at the height of the
rest of the elements, and in this case also met to perfection. The Peugeot 607 has an excellent chassis that allows fast circular form by tacking areas, despite their size and weight, with a high degree of safety.
The presence of elements such as stability control available-for-series also helps that the conduct of this model is really simple, easy and secure. The Volvo S80 also does not fall behind in this paragraph; its Driving is very simple, though the suspensions are somewhat softer than those of
Peugeot, so that in areas with many potholes it is more comfortable down the pace. In both cases the presence of an assisted steering too, something that, while a low speed and maneuvers are grateful makes when they move fast highway seeping too sensations felt that the driver at the wheel.
The section on brakes are settled on a good note, although the braking distances are not outstanding, the truth is that resistance to the hard work is high, something that is appreciated, and much, in models of this weight and with automatic change .
The last paragraph, which by no means least, which should provide a good note this type of vehicle is the comfort, and it does not disappoint on.
The internal dimensions are good, their posts Driving comfortable and have a good list of items for the comfort of its occupants. On this last point, Peugeot takes the top spot, counting, addition, with the incentive of a lower MSRP, an aspect often decisive for their choice, since differences between the two resulted in many of its paragraphs almost symbolic.
