Opel Omega 2000 vs Toyota Yaris 2007
| Body: | Sedan | Hatchback | |
|---|---|---|---|
| The hatchback generally has more luggage space thanks to a larger trunk door opening and the ability to convert the rear of the passenger compartment into luggage space. Sedans tend to be quieter than hatchbacks, due to a more isolated rear area. | |||
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
| Engine: | 2.2 Diesel | 1.8 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Opel Omega) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Toyota Yaris) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||

| Power: | 120 HP | 133 HP | |
| Torque: | 280 NM | 173 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 12.5 seconds | 9.3 seconds | |
|
Toyota Yaris is a more dynamic driving. Opel Omega engine produces 13 HP less power than Toyota Yaris, but torque is 107 NM more than Toyota Yaris. Due to the lower power, Opel Omega reaches 100 km/h speed 3.2 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 7.1 | 7.2 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 7.1 l/100km | 7.8 l/100km | |
|
The Opel Omega is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. By specification Opel Omega consumes 0.1 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Toyota Yaris, which means that by driving the Opel Omega over 15,000 km in a year you can save 15 litres of fuel. By comparing actual fuel consumption based on user reports, Opel Omega consumes 0.7 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Toyota Yaris. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Toyota Yaris) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (Opel Omega) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 440'000 km | 350'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Opel Omega engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 4 years | 19 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Opel Frontera, Opel Sintra | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Toyota Avensis, Toyota Corolla | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Toyota Yaris might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Toyota Yaris 2007 1.8 engine: This engine is generally considered decent, with a lifespan of around 250,000 km. While it doesn’t cause major issues if properly maintained, some common problems still arise.
