2003 Holden Commodore VY review from Australia and New Zealand
"A very enjoyable car that does every thing that I expect of it very well"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A minor problem with trim.
A wiring fault under the steering column.
A faulty radiator.
Very noisy tyres that I have now replaced. (Not Holden's problem).
General comments?
My first new car after considering 6 cylinder vehicles from a number of other well known manufacturers.
Chosen because of the standard appointments, general appearance, and stated fuel consumption.
All the problems I encountered occurred within about the first 5,000 kilometers and were quickly rectified by the dealer. These early teething problems seem to be behind me now.
I find my new VY Commodore a very enjoyable vehicle to drive both around town and on the open road.
The vehicle is confortable, handles very well, and is very quiet, with more than adequate power. Fuel consumption is good.
