2001 Holden Acclaim review from Australia and New Zealand

The Only things that has gone wrong with the car is a problem with gas leaking in the ventilation controls whenever I change the air direction to the wind screen, meaning that the air flow becomes stuck on the windscreen, costing $60 to get it fixed each time, it has just happened for the second time.

There is also an intermittent problem with the back right power window not working for a couple of minutes at a time, but this is very rare and only happened once while I had the car and twice while my parents had the car.

I love the car, it is reliable, relatively economical for its size and performance, decent performance and very comfortable.

The Car was owned by my parents before I bought it off them, it had 75 000 Kms on it when they bought it, and they never had any problems with it, but they decided to downsize to something smaller and more economical.

The Commodore is very hard to break into, which I found out once when I locked my keys in the boot with my spare set in the centre console, called the NRMA and the only way they could get the car open was chock open the top of the drivers door, open the lid of the console with a coat hanger and pull the spare set of keys out through the top of the door.

I would recommend the car to anyone, its extremely hard to beat the "metal for your money" ratio, and to get something more comfortable, powerfull/economical, and good looking on the price level.
