1998 Holden Commodore VT Series I Executive Wagon review from Australia and New Zealand
"A great, versatile and reliable car to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine oil leak at 70,000km.
Power steering oil leak at 65,000km.
General comments?
The Holden Commodore VT wagon is a pleasure to drive, as it handles smoothly and has a quiet interior.
Performance wise, the 3.6L V6 delivers plenty of power when required, aiding in overtaking maneuvers.
Having a relatively large engine, the VT wagon uses about 11-12L/100km which is reasonably ecnomical, especially for a car of its size.
Freeway driving is a pleasure as it cruises along with low RPM in top gear.
