2001 Holden Statesman WH review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Apart from the drink holder door popping open the only other warranty repair was the front driver side seat runner needing to be replaced.
General comments?
An extremely big luxurious cruiser with all mod cons including satellite navigation, it's a real wolf in sheep's clothing with horse power to spare. The ride is pure luxury and road noise is barely perceivable. Acceleration from a standing start is nearly neck snapping although the auto trans is little jerky through the changes. I would buy another one in a heartbeat. The 5.7 liter V8 never hesitates when asked to deliver the goods. A high performance bargain.
