1995 Holden Commodore S-Pack review from Australia and New Zealand
"It is not a cheap car, but in this case you do get what you pay for"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Have had a slight leak from the power steering pump, at around 120,000kms, but that's the only mechanical problem that I have had for it so far.
One annoyance is a bit of a squeak coming from the front seats on occasion, and the gearbox is a bit noisy which I have been told is common on all Commodores with that type of gear box.
Another thing is two of the (whatever they are called)'s between the trim and the window glass have come loose.
General comments?
This car has excellent performance and handling for what is basically a family car with stiffer suspension, a spoiler kit and a much nicer interior.
The car is a 5-speed manual with a track record of beating V8s and this is completely stock standard. It has excellent performance for what it is and I can only imagine how it will go with some performance modifications.
The suspension is not uncomfortable, but yet still handles well around tight corners.
All in all the car looks great (which I guess is only my opinion), goes great, handles well and is comfortable for a full carload of people as well. I would definitely not sell it without a very good reason.
