1987 Holden Commodore VL review from Australia and New Zealand
"A roomy comfortable family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The indicator stalk is coming away from the steering column, and will soon need to be replaced, as the lights will not go onto full-beam.
General comments?
The car is extremely reliable, running costs are really low.
One of the most comfortable older cars around, for example, the seats are very wide, and it is easy to get three people into the back seat without anyone being uncomfortable.
The power isn't bad for a large car of the 1987 age.
Handling isn't that great, would be biggest let down of the car. Although with decent driving it sticks to the road.
