1987 Holden Commodore review from Australia and New Zealand
"Strong and smooth"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Paint on the roof has a little crazy cracking.
Paint on the roof has faded a little.
Paint on the boot has also faded a little.
Had to find old style 175*14 tire as one blew out on me it was very hard to find as no one makes them any more, only one wrecker had one.
General comments?
This is the best Commodore I have ever had, she doesn't miss a beat.
Being a 2ltr VL doesn't have as much power as the 3ltr, but still gets along nicely.
I plan to put a King Dragon air filter in and re-direct the air intake to behind the bumper grille.
Also put a set of extractors on and a 2-1/4 inch system giving her a bit more get up and go!.
Money allowing I will put the usual gear on her.
Mag wheels, body kit, and touch up the paint work.
I love this car and I will never sell it.
This car has never done me wrong and is a very trusty work horse.
Any one looking for a cheap running car and very reliable to run buy a VL commodore!!!.
