2000 Holden Berlina VX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Comfort and power, all you need"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Center consol is badly scratched (poor paint work)
Thermostat for climate control broke before I owned it.
General comments?
Over all a very comfortable car. Having only owned it for a month I am very delighted with what it has going for it.
I have been doing my research for a while looking for the right car. The owner was fastidious making this car in almost original condition.
Handles and travels very nicely with a good measure of performance and luxury combined.
The 3.8L gives ample amount of power to take off with the car fully loaded or towing, but it is mainly toque so go bother trying to make a racer out of it.
Features such as climate control, CD player, alarm, remote central locking, ABS, traction control give this car a secure and comfort feel.
My only objection is that the total finish of the car isn't the greatest for a semi-luxury car. Cheap plastic and bad fitting parts sort of spoil this great machine.
