1996 Holden Acclaim review from Australia and New Zealand
"A Holden beast on steroids"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering had a loose pipe connection when I bought the car.
Window seals on 3 doors have come off due to wear.
Auto transmission seems to grind sometimes when changing from Drive to Reverse.
ABS warning light sometimes comes on when I start the car.
Engine warning light sometimes comes on when I start the car.
Car fails to start sometimes. (found that the central locking does not always turn off the immobilizer).
Rear brake lights have come loose.
Boot has rust in the corners.
Tires have gone bold on the inside of tire.
General comments?
Overall the VS commodore is a great car, much better than my old 86 corolla. Cheap to run and goes pretty hard.
