Holden Commodore VE (page 2 of 7)

Love the power and size, sleek look inside and out. Lots and lots of leg room front and back of car and boot.
With continued and regular servicing which it has had, the car will continue to run smoothly.
Although v6 the gas is completely affordable, a nice alternative to gas guzzlers.
I can't fault anything on this car, love it!!

brought the car and had for just over 1 year and then the gear box went on it (auto)
overheated when first picked up from dealership also tyre nuts were loose
wouldnt buy any new model commodore as they are rubbish
stick to vy and early models and save your self the hassle

bought this car for $11500.00 as it had high ks on it but to my surprise its been everything I wanted very roomy lots of power and runs like a dream. never had an issue with anything at all. serviced every 6 months and mechanic is so surprised how clean the oil is and there are no oil leaks anywhere for how many ks are on it we thing the engines been reconditioned but not sure. in summing up best best commodore ever. by the way loved the color hazard yellow

Lovely car to drive, handles well and has plenty of power. Great family car with room for everyone, you can even put the doggies in the back! It has leather interior that is easy to clean and the seats are so comfortable. Has a reverse parking camera with sensor, satnav compatible, dual zone air conditioning and fuel efficient with a 3.0 litre engine.

Great Australian car. The Series II SV6 has excellent handling in both wet and dry conditions. Its steering is true and cruising at highway speeds is very smooth, comparable with cars geared more towards touring than performance. The interior is modern, clean, and has everything you need in a car. Seats are extremely comfortable. Solid reliability with parts readily available and the trade off to the 3.6L V6 engine is running costs are higher than the average sedan.

Has to be the best car of its generation. Smooth look, timeless. Fantastic driving experience, smooth, holds the road, excellent in wet weather, holds the road perfectly. Inside, driving and passenger luxury. Comfortable, adjustable seating, cockpit layout is very driver friendly, everything is at your fingertips, auto lights, responsive cruise control. Has to be the best in its class

I've had a ve commodore for years and years. Very reliable and haven't had to spend any money on it. Drives great. Very comfortable. Great fuel consumption when driving on the highway. Great car and I would highly recommend it. Looks great and costs next to nothing to run. Engine has plenty of power as well. Couldn't fault the car at all. Been the best car I've ever owned.

This was my dream car and it has lived up to every expectation.
It looks smart and drives great.
i recently drove from south australia to horsham victoria on half a tank of petrol which i think is brilliant.
There is a bit of a blind spot on the sides of the front window but i have learnt to adjust the way i check for cars and it is perfect.

When I first picked up my ve sv6 I was over the moon. It didnt last long. Commodores are well known for getting tail happy and the ve is no exception in auto taking corners in the very wet felt like taking my life in my hands even with good tires. Then the abs module went then the remote locking. I will say having also driven a vf the steering on the ve is much better . The sidi is marketed for better fuel consumption but it was much higher then expected city driving and not flash on highway.

Having radio problems as security has locked anyone out from resetting the radio.
Replaced the battery, as per the handbook instructions and haven't been able to get into the radio since.
The handbook mentions that for a simple battery change, the radio should be okay, ie when the ignition is turned on the computer should pick up the VIN and march it to the factory fitted radio.
However this is not the case.
Another trip to Holden...

Great looking car. It has plenty of power and more than enough torque. Fuel efficiency is very economical and very easy to maintain . Overtaking performance is exceptional.
Interior need upgrades or changes, so something else should replace black plastic and dark upholstery. The car performs very well and is a pleasure to drive.

great looking car drives very well bluetooth cruise control all electrics work very well
however numerous trip to holden dealer do not resolve problem Holden Australia dealt with with it however problems still valid engine seems to be consuming oil by poor or damaged oil rings
they tried to repair but still mot fixed

I purchased this car second hand. And Appart from some scuffs and minor dints from the usuial culprits and some minor wear n tear on the apolstry the car performs very well and is a pleasure to drive. No problems with the electrics as was the as with my previous 60th Annaversary Sportwagon. It does need new front shock absorbers as the left hand side is shot.

It drives amazing haven't had any mechanical problems with it very economical on petrol an easy to maintain so much leg space and the boot space is so big we can fit 2 3 wheeler prams in it along with shopping this car has been a breeze to own I dont regret at all purchasing this car its a good car for me and my little family of 3

Very smooth ride, the car barely makes any noise on the freeway. They don't do too bad on petrol either. I love the interior, the wheel is nice and comfy to hold and everything is easy to find. It is very comfy inside, loads of room for the whole family. It fits my son's car seat very well and isn't cramped or anything. Very spacious boot in the sedan but I do wish you could put all of the back seats down. The series II models are a lot more reliable than the first series, in yet to have mine need anything major fixed. A full tank of petrol is around $80 and lasts 600km. I'd recommend this car to anyone looking for a family car or just a car with lots of room.

Purchased this vehicle second hand and instantly feel in love. It drives well and handles like a dream, much better than any other standard SUV or family car. Features are awesome, it has adaptive headlights, cruise control, LED speedometer screen and much more than cars even 5 years newer do not have.

The car is a comfortable car to drive and it looks good but the engine is absolutely terrible. I have had the timing chain replaced TWICE in less than 4 years that I have owned it, it's going back to the mechanic next week as it's showing up fuel bank faults. Will definitely be looking at buying a Ford or Subaru as soon as I can.

i bought a 2007 ve omega with low kms, it is a ex police car it has sump guard and lsd diff, has 2 batterrys and stage 2 shift kit. best omega ive owned and goes like a sv6. love the car awesome color and cheap parts when they need replacing
