1984 Holden Commodore VK review from Australia and New Zealand
"A will-be-one-day classic!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Problems with compression, had to have the head rebuilt.
Replaced 3 water pumps in 12 months.
Problems with EFI computer, had to replace with a reconditioned component.
Exhaust leaks from extractors have cost quite a bit!
General comments?
Car performs beautifully (provided theres no engine troubles), great looking car, not real quick off the mark, but quicker than the few carby model VK's I've driven!
Cost to run is a little high, it's my first car and I wouldn't recommend them to a younger person with limited cash flow... but... love the car!
Extractors and sports exhaust have made a huge difference to the quality of sound.
