2001 Holden Commodore VX Executive review from Australia and New Zealand
"Excellent car, although extremely heavy on tires"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Excessive tire wear front and rear. At 20,000km the tread on the rear tires was 1.2mm inside and 6.2mm outside. Obviously not a driver factor and more so a ridiculous independent rear suspension design fault. Required IRS kit to straighten the 5mm toe out on both rear tires and 2 degree inward camber.
Plastic molds on the outside of the doors are cracking, had to replace the entire set of moldings.
When the window is down any water from the roof drips straight in on your leg, particularly when washing the windscreen while driving or stationary.
General comments?
The brakes are excellent and I highly responsive.
