1994 Holden Commodore VR review from Australia and New Zealand
"If you can find a good one it is goof value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The following things have gone wrong with my car that I can think of since I purchased the car as an ex-company car. Although I keep my car in relatively good condition there are things that still go wrong.
* Driver's side seat track needed replacing
* New transmission only recently as it just kept slipping and the engine warning light came on all the time.
* various other things have gone wrong.. replaced the usual things like fuel pump, thermostat. Most of my problems cycled around the transmission though.
* Alternator was replaced twice in a period of 4 years.
* Replaced the battery twice also since I got the car.
General comments?
This car for the problems it's had has pretty good power.
Holden parts cost a lot so when it breaks, it also breaks your wallet.
Interior is pretty comfortable.
