1985 Holden Commodore VK review from Australia and New Zealand

What things have gone wrong with the car?

This car is the biggest piece of junk I have ever encountered. Just about everything needs replacing, and it looks like a good one.

General comments?

The only good thing is that you can do a burnout, and that you can throw it away and not give a damn that you did. They're just getting too old, and were never built correctly. If you want an older car, cheap etc. and need a Holden then buy a fair descent VN for under 2000. Far better in everyway. Or do what any good bloke would do and buy a mans car, a Ford. No probs with Fords. Ford Built Tough.
