1987 Holden Commodore VL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good power and reliable, also good looks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaking injector.
Loose starter motor wires.
Blown overdrive gear, $1100 for a new transmission.
Blown speedo globes.
Leaking water in the boot.
Rough start. Idle when cold.
Noisy differential.
General comments?
They are a great car, it has never broken down on me and I've had it a year, I have done over 10,000 in it without it needing a tune-up, or major engine repairs.
They look good inside and out, chick magnet, nice engine sound from the exhaust, easy to make look good with wheels, tint.
Easily adapted to mods.
Good seating position and easy to drive.
