1992 Holden Commodore VP Executive review from Australia and New Zealand
"Absolutely awesome for a 16 year old car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump went at about 220,000.
Transmission kept stalling like crazy, but a full flush of the auto fixed that.
General comments?
Love this car! Owned a little Suzuki Vitara before I had this; the Commodore uses less fuel than the Suzuki did with triple the power. I get 550-650 kilometres city driving in my Commodore using unleaded 98 fuel (with a 63 litre tank, so about 10-11 litres per 100kms), while the Suzuki used to use about 14 litres per 100kms.
Also, little Suzuki could do 0-100 in 21 seconds, while the commodore can do it in 8.5. Lovin it! Wish I made the change sooner.
Very recommended car, just make sure you service it when it needs it and it won't let you down.
