Nothing (as yet)
I will post a comment to this review if anything goes wrong.
The car is seriously quick both off the mark and on a freeway, I think I left my balls back at the HSV dealer :-)
I looked around at quite a few different cars in my price range, but none of them had anywhere near the performance or the comfort of the Senator.
I really underestimated how nice the car really is, I got the car as a Christmas present this year and I love it.
Features include leather bucket seats, GPS (it actually talks), and a beefy 5.7L V8 that roars like a tiger! And many other extras including a sun roof.
I highly recommend this car to anyone who has a bit of money to spend and is looking for power and comfort. Great car!
I have this same car (without sunroof) and simply love it. its very luxurious, stylish and most of all it compliments its good looks with it's great performance.
I have had my 2003 HSV 5.7L V8 for about four months; many have tried, and all have failed to. Not only are they mainly grown old men in lil Japanese cars, it's like an achievement to them to race a big engine motor?? I only go for about 30 metres and then slow down. Waste of time, waste of petrol. Planning to get a turbocharge to increase grunt.. up to 500+ HP.
Anyone keen for a go, you can find me on the Irirangi Rd, Botany.. just look for the guy, that's always in front of you cranking the souljah boi!!... AHHHHH--YOU!!!
It will be good to see a new model of the Senator; like the saying goes.. you can park next to a Clubby or SS etc.. but the Senator is the KING of all Clubbys :)
I had the 2007 E Series with the MRC and all the other fruit... my gawd what a car. 0 to 100 in 5 seconds and to out do that; the brakes! The only problem is the poor bugger behind you! In the wet you can't lose it; it is that forgiving.
My only issue with this great car was the after sales servicing. It was crap. Metal to metal on my brakes some 4000kms past a service. Didn't check they reckon coz it's only an oil service at 22000ks... The skirt on the sides is a bit nasty too. For $80K you would expect the skirt to fit nicely.
Had to unload to pay a tax bill... but I'll definitely be back for another! I'll choose my dealer a lot better though and may even go private to ensure a good job is done.
I'll give you a tip; stay with the Potenzas for its extra mileage. The Adrenalins at $600 are great.
The front dam could be lifted 25mm to minimise scraping those kerbs. And yes the front dam can be fixed... so don't get sucked into paying $2800 to have it replaced! $800 max should fix a nasty hole or scrape.
Cheers, Steve.
