1989 Holden Commodore VN review from Australia and New Zealand
"Powerful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Has a broken muffer
Boot leaks
Power steering squeels at full-lock
Transmission burns AT fluid.
General comments?
Powerful relliable car. Not good in the wet. Not good for P-platers, although I'm an L-Plater!
Beats most cars at the lights... and V8's providing they don't know that your dragging them.
Easy to bump into things because the bonnet slopes down at the front, you can't see the bumper.
Extremely easy to get bogged or spin wheels offroad. VERY bad handling off road... good on bitumen.
