1985 Holden Commodore VK Sl review from Australia and New Zealand
"Best car of it's era"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Major problem was the water pump, in the short time I have had the car I have had to replaced two pumps.
Starter motor also went at 210000 km.
General comments?
The car is the best first car you could buy I only paid $3500 and it is very reliable and starts first time. The car has a very good turning circle and handles great I can take a corner at 50k/hr without the car sliding one bit. Very little problems at all, the car is still running fine even though it gets driven very hard. Would recommend a VK to all first buyers.
