"Excellent car, although extremely heavy on tires"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Excessive tire wear front and rear. At 20,000km the tread on the rear tires was 1.2mm inside and 6.2mm outside. Obviously not a driver factor and more so a ridiculous independent rear suspension design fault. Required IRS kit to straighten the 5mm toe out on both rear tires and 2 degree inward camber.

Plastic molds on the outside of the doors are cracking, had to replace the entire set of moldings.

When the window is down any water from the roof drips straight in on your leg, particularly when washing the windscreen while driving or stationary.

General comments?

The brakes are excellent and I highly responsive.

I have a vx series 1 executive and I have had numerous problems that holden have fixed under new car warranty. the differential was replaced, auto transmition, body moulds, indicator stalk, seat base, exhaust tensioner springs, rear map pocket, cd player three times, grab handle all before the vehicle reached 85,000kms. I hope you have a better run with your vx than I have had with mine. my last car was a vp berlina and it was a much more reliable car than my vx!!!
