1995 Holden Commodore VS Exec review from Australia and New Zealand
"At this time a cheap car to buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Manual 5 speed overdrive fifth gear jumped out when engaged from new.
Oil leaks from new everywhere on the engine.
Power steering was faulty from new, replaced.
Engine uses oil at a rate of 1 litre between oil changes.
Coil pack has just gone wrong.
General comments?
Car has ample power to safely get the family about and after the initial gearbox problem, it is a smart looking machine. It handles well even though I feel the rear shocks have reduced power in stopping body roll.
A deadly car for young drivers, too much power for the novice and the body is fairly light for a big car, so young dudes get a Japanese four cylinder Corolla for your first car and you can't help but save your dough.
