2002 Holden Commodore VXII review from Australia and New Zealand
"Comfortable, but not so reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fuel dial is unreliable. At one stage it would read 3/4 full tank, when the tank was completely empty. I once ran out of fuel due to this.
The sensor for the ABS also failed when meant that until the part arrived and was fitted, I had no ABS.
The vaccum control for the air vents also malfunctioned. This meant I was unable to control the air flow direction.
The drivers door window handle also comes apart. The handle and part that you hold on to separate quickly and easily.
General comments?
The interior is comfortable and it drives very well. It has excellent handling and fast, responsive braking.
