1997 Holden Berlina VT review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Things that have gone wrong with the car? Nothing! This car has been fantastic in every regard.
Previous car VR Berlina series II
136k - 170k. Problems? Ignition leads needed replacement as well as the battery. Other than that, that was a terrific car.
General comments?
I will only ever buy Holden. I think that the new Fords are a good car, but I will be sticking with the mighty lion! Having owned a VR and VT Berlina I only have good things to say about these great cars. Reliability, Performance (for a V6), Safety, features etc all to high standards.
My family and friends have had Commodores over the years and they agree. Fantastic cars.
Bad things about Commodores?? OK resale. But what do you expect with the huge amounts of them on the road. Lets face it they are the most popular car on our roads. So the boys (and girls) at Holden must be doing something right.
GO HOLDEN!
Regards one very happy Commodore owner!
