2006 Holden Commodore VE SS review from Australia and New Zealand
"So far so good and I love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet so far so good for a series 1 VE.
General comments?
A hell of a lot better than my VY Acclaim.
Excellent handling for a large family car, and a much safer car to drive and own. It has tons of grip. It's so nimble to drive around really.
Has all the interior comforts that I need and many more extras.
The V8 is a gem it just pumps out the power and the ESP keeps the car in check.
The car just looks awesome and it's a real head turner.
Although it does sit a tad high, but I guess I can live with it.
It has oodles of torque and it sounds great.
It's a pure joy to drive.
