1994 Holden Statesman VR review from Australia and New Zealand
"Best car I've ever owned or driven by far!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Kept stalling when I first bought it. (Ended up being a faulty module.)
The gearbox had a slipping clutch.
General comments?
The car overall is a dream to drive. Not the quickest car, but it is a Statesman. It's designed for comfort. But the V8 does help it along it's way. The car also rides like a dream with a set of 18" rims and ultra low suspension.
The cabin is nice and roomy, and has been set off well with plenty of lights and embroidery.
The engine is really responsive, and has a great note under revs with an exhaust.
