2004 Holden Calais VY Series 2 V8 Gen III V8

Summary:

A SWB mafia car

Faults:

Basically nothing has gone wrong so far.

General Comments:

Great luxury SWB car.

Berry red colour looks very nice indeed.

HBD rear spoiler makes the car look better than ever.

It is so comfortable to drive. Has a lot of power (stock 235 kW). All the luxury items that you need that is standard. No need to pay $50 grand on a base model mercedes and BMW and then pay more for the options. The quality is excellent now a major step up from the previous models. It handles well. It's a joy to own and drive.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

What are the main differences between the VYII and the VZ... I thought they were mainly cosmetic and no major change to the engine... but I don't know much.

The VZ Calais got the new 3.6L 190 kw V6 and 5 speed auto. A few exterior and interior changes. V8 model gets an upgrade and uses electronic drive by wire throttle system.
