"Expensive to run and not reliable"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Power mirrors stopped working the day after I bought it.

Power windows weren't working.

Upright part of seat seems to always be further back than where I put it every time I get in car.

Door seals all fell off within a week of buying car, have been re-stuck and are coming off again.

Hoses are full of a rusty residue and are blocking up.

Overheating problems lead to a new radiator being put it, and a week later it is still over heating. No idea what the problem is now.

Very heavy on fuel.

Transmission fluid always needs topping up.

Leaks oil like a sieve.

General comments?

Would never buy another one. Has pretty much put me off ever owning another holden... even though my last car was a holden. All I seem to do is have my hand in my pocket handing over money to fix everything that is going wrong with car.

Sounds pretty normal for a 16 year old car which hasn't been looked after...

NO that doesn't sound normal, I guess that's just how the vn commodore goes.
