1986 Holden Commodore VL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Reliable, but boring car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
EFI unit failed when I tried to sell it, turned out to be the air flow meter.
Suspension was never quite right.
Injectors needed replacing prematurely.
General comments?
Resonbly reliable car back when I owned it, but it had low K's, I'd be cautious about buying one now. The car handeled badly.
Then engine was OK compared to older (and later) holden engines, but was nothing special.
Suspention was poor.
Seats and interior were well wearing, but bland.
