1999 Holden Acclaim aclaim II from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

"In 2003, I would expect better from a manufacturer - my almost 20y old Honda with 210,000ks better"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Water leaks - wet floor (flooded actually) after rains.

ABS light keeps coming on.

Engine Management light comes on.

Clunks/Bangs from gearbox/diff??.

Remote key-fob works erratically- now car won't even start - immobilizer now stuck on I believe - doors can only be manually opened.

Very thirsty - erratic fuel computer reading.

General comments?

Cheap and nasty is the feeling I get when I drive the VT - and particularly at almost $40,000 with all the bells and whistle - very poor value.

Diabolical in the wet - particularly as the ABS fails just when you need it most.

What's the Transmission of this Car?

It's hard to believe in review, which the reviewer does not even Know the Transmission of its car.

A friend had a VT Acclaim wagon, and I had a VX Commodore exec wagon. Both vehicles leaked water through the front door seals when it rained heavily. The Vx would saturate the front seats.
