2005 HSV Maloo R8 Z Series review from Australia and New Zealand
"I love this car more than my family!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's side power window fault.
General comments?
I love this car.
OK, it does not have the carrying capacity of other utes, but it can carry my jet ski.
It has tons of power below in the middle and above. The LS2 is an absolute delight - smooth and very powerful, and has gobs of torque.
The build quality is good apart from the faulty electric window, which was fixed by the dealer.
It looks awesome, sounds awesome, what the hell it is awesome.
Fuel economy, well if I was worried about that, I would have bought a Ford Ka or a Hyundai Getz *chokes*.
