1985 Holden Commodore VK review from Australia and New Zealand
"An overall great, reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The handbrake has never worked very well at all, I have heard this same complaint from other VK owners.
Automatic transmission has become a bit jerky when accelerating and travelling up steep hills.
General comments?
This car is, in my opinion, the best looking car of its era.
It is fairly nimble and has very tight steering. I found it a complete pleasure to drive.
The VK holds the road very well, and has seemed to have no problems with travelling at high speeds.
Overall, an excellent car which you can really get used to.
