"Raw and heavy need firm hand on the gear shift and strong left foot for the clutch"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Used a bit of oil in the first 2000 kilometers then was OK.

General comments?

This car was the SS with leather pack, it is very luxurious, however has a very harsh ride on the 1" bigger rims over my previous series one.

My "VY" series one was more comfortable.

However for the money, I'd be seriously considering a Calis instead, more compliant suspension and enough power.

Fuel economy averaged 12.8 liters per 100 kilometers, which is better than my old "VX" series II, but not as good as my "Berlina VX" series one supercharged.

160KPH though a city street in a Commodore with your 8 year old son in the seat next to you? Talk about "Parent of the Year". I really hope you are joking, for your son's sake and for the safety of other road users.
