1983 Holden Commodore VH SL/E review from Australia and New Zealand
"Class all the way!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Struts need to be repaired, steering is quite heavy as a result of this.
Needed new front discs when I bought it.
General comments?
Nothing has really gone wrong with this car while I've owned it.
It's velour interor is very comfortable, and I prefer driving it to my old man's VX Executive!
Will be a classic one day if kept in good condition, so hang on to them if you have one.
