Transmission and Engine needed major serviced on purchase. Drive train of car runs pretty well although 4th gear in transmission dosn't seem to hold that well on long freeway trips. At 110km the revs sometimes drop from 2000rpm to 1500rpm, but this only happens occasionally car seems to run OK.
Front Brakes squeal need machining and new brake pads.
Overall car is in excellent condition as long as it is serviced at regular intervals.
VS is very comfortable to drive and handles well.
147kw from the ECO TECH V6 gives the car pretty good performance.
Have got over 500km from a tank of petrol in all driving conditions.
Don't know how often your car gets up and boogies if you are getting 500km to a tank. I get about 420 from the same car.
I agree with the last comment, I also own the same vehicle and I get about 400k's to a tank. That's when I'm not being too heavy on the accelerator.
Get 'em out on a highway and stretch their legs and see how they go! Have seen 600-650k's from Brisbane to Walcha {Armidale/Tamworth area} on a tank. Keep the Injector-Cleaner up to them regularly also!!!
I get about 480 kms in town and long distance average.
Hi I have a 95 VS Commodore, it has to date been a good runner, Although of late the the revs drop in and out and is becoming less responsive. I am confident that its not an engine problem, but more a transmission problem (maybe the belts?) be great if you could throw some knowledge my way
Cheers!
