1986 Holden Commodore SL review from Australia and New Zealand

"Bloody excellent"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing as yet.

General comments?

This car runs like a dream, I have never been in a VL that is so smooth and can handle being thrashed out for 30 minutes non-stop and the temp needle not move. The only thing I would like to change is the torque. It feels a bit sluggish. There is no oil leaks. The engine bay is the cleanest I have ever seen. It pays to well maintain.
