"Best commodore ever made"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The only problem I had was with the indicator assembly.

Very reliable.

General comments?

This is a wonderful car, very quick for its age, handles well if you buy decent tyres.

Very reliable, nothing major has gone wrong with it.

It is the best Commodore ever made, and I have driven most models, including the new VY.

Absolutely awesome for circle work because of the light rear end.

Slight mods such as exhaust and cam gives great results as the engine is very tune-able.

Can out perform any Ford from that era.

I agree 100%. I have had my VL Commodore sedan now for 8 years. It is the most reliable car I've ever had known. I love my car.

Yeh I agree it is one of the best cars built by holden, but I don't know if I have just been unlucky, but my car has been quite unreliable for me... it's a vl calais 86 and I've had blown head gasket, bent tailshaft, fuel pump problems, Air Flow Meter not working, transmission slipping +a few other minor problems. Still love the beast though.

Your pretty cool man I love calais they rock dude, but yours must suck or your thrashing it, your mad, have you ever done a burnout? that's when the back wheels spin and it makes smoke. Good work Steven.
