1999 Holden Commodore Berlina series II review from Australia and New Zealand
"A brilliant package with ALL the luxuries!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The dealer lent me a 1998 VT S pac for the weekend while my finance was being approved... Problem is that I think I have fallen in love with the handling of the S pac, more than I like to have all the luxuries of a Berlina.
I have noticed however... the S pac's Airbag warning light came on time to time, and there was a rumble in the boot somewhere when slowing from 70km/h.
The S pac has 61,300km on it.
General comments?
I bought this vehicle from a Holden dealer. I would give them 11/10 for customer service. They gave me a high value for my trade in, and gave me the extras I wanted for no charge (window tint, boot spoiler and a free service).
Economy in these things are fantastic for a 3.8 litre. My old VN was the old Buick 3.8 V6 and guzzled $30 fuel in around 180 - 200 km. I put $25 in the VT with the Ecotech V6 and have done 260km and the gauge isn't even in the red yet.
