1987 Holden Commodore VL review from Australia and New Zealand
"A definite high performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blown fuse to compact disc player.
Blown fuse to instrument illumination.
Melted high and low beam fuses.
General comments?
The car handles beautifully at high speeds as well as hugging tight corners.
The pickup is great, you just watch the speedo needle climb.
The fuel economy isn't too bad considering the 5.0 litre V8 is fitted with a four barrel Rochester carburetter.
