1988 Holden Commodore VL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Overall the VL commodore is just a very reliable and quick car for those lead foots"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One fuse has blown, but easily replaced.
Rear power windows don't work using the rear door buttons.
Power antenna doesn't work.
General comments?
Engine on the VL in just superb and very fuel economic.
No modifications have been made as yet to my VL.
However its extremely responsive to quick acceleration with the lightest press of the accelerator.
The cars handling is great.
However, rain and mud and its as slippery as a slug on ice skates.
Exhaust seems to struggle a little with smelling fumes coming in the car.
Don't now much about the car as this is my first VL.
If anyone knows any modifications that I can or should make to make it better, please email me at ctair@hotmail.com.
