why is Lpg not popular any more

published

Just went back to owning a Commodore wagon. I had a Mitsubishi triton diesel for about 7 years, I got fed up with the running costs especially when diesel hit $1.59 a litre, service costs, and it needed a new set of injectors. (4-5 thousand) I bought an ex government Commodore Lpg wagon. Brilliant car, heaps of extras on the basic model, 650ks to a tank around town, I can almost drive to Sydney for a tank of gas, eat your heart out Tesla.

Redline Ute SSV

published

Car sounds like a V8 should especially with a cat back exhaust. Very comfortable. Minimum maintenance. Extremely reliable. Manual shift easy to use. Gates don’t clunk. Fuel economy reasonable. Keeping its value and worth more than I paid for it. Good build quality. HUD very handy. Great touring vehicle on the freeway. Does 110km/h@1100rpm. Balance of factory warranty till 4/23.

Very spacious

published

I absolutely love driving this car it is very nice leather interior which is easy to clean. It's a very spacious family car with plenty of space for the kids to seat without being very close to each other. I love all the compartments in the car. I absolutely love the sensor that comes on with automatic lighting and when you put the car into drive the doors automatically lock which is a safety thing. It's great on fuel especially long trips out on the highway.

SSV LS3

The Holden VF is the best car delivered by GMH Australia. The SSV Redline is an exceptional car with style and elegance and power to boot. From the 6.2 ltr manual to the style and comfort. The Bose system, heads up display and all the safety features, flawless for sure. One to keep!

The worst of Australian cars

published

I had one of these for 4 years as a work car from band new, possibly one the worst cars I had the misfortune of having to drive for 4 years! every possible failure you can think of, gearbox, engine, starter, battery, diffs, it was always going back to Holden to be fixed, it even locked me out once when it the central locking system failed. Fuel system failures, water pumps, this thing was a total lemon!! The interior felt like it was put together by 3 different teams that didnt talk to each other, MISH mash of clashing styles and the cheapest plastics I have seen, this thing had rattles, and squeaks that drove me mad. When it finally went back to be sold at 80,000 the engine overheated.

Excellent car inside and out

published

I have had my VF Calais for almost 6 months and do not have a single complaint. Firstly the looks of the car are great from shape, detailing and 18 inch alloys. The inside is a nice leather interior with crome finishes all around to match the outside. Most importantly the car drives like a charm, super smoothe and has good power at 210kw for a V6.

Work vehicle

published

This vehicle is like driving a boat, but overall it's not bad, given that it's a work vehicle. The vehicle is quite responsive, and even though it feels a little heavy, it's a smooth drive. I like the safety features included in the vehicle that I use, too. Rear-view camera and senses (may be across all types). Either way a very reliable vehicle!

Wish my vf bombadore was a good one

published

Have a 3.6 Calais V 2014. 50000kms- cracked radiator. Needed. 60000kms-ecu problems needed new one. 75000kms steering rack was stuffed new one needed. Driving along and lost electric sterring. Love the shape of the car and all the stuff it has. But mine has been poor in the parts being used. To fancy seems to be more things go wrong. Holden have been good to replace the last two out of warranty. and the radiator in warranty. It has 79000kms now. Hopefully nothing else goes wrong and I can love me Calais again. Thanks heritage Holden Maitland nsw for getting all this sorted.

Great fun, last of a legend

published

The engine and sound really makes the ss redline. Great levels of technology for the price and age of the platform (though android auto would have been appreciated), it truely is the last of its kind.

Handling is great, lots of power, big comfy car, great brakes. Thirsty on fuel, especially if stuck in daily traffic, but you don't buy a car like this for fuel economy! I love it and will be keeping it for a long time.

Love my car

Handles good. Very nice to drive. Very roomy and comfortable. I didn’t like the chrome around the cup holders at it gives of a glare when the sun is shining on it. Other then that minor default I love my vf. I’d recommend taking one for a test drive. :)

Love my VF SS Storm

published

Cannot fault my 2015 SS VF1 Storm Wagon! I love it so much, drives great even with Pedders Coilovers. It has a black out kit, 20inch HSV blackout rims, 2.5inch Cat back exhaust, Cold Air Intake, Gearbox shifter - makes it look amazing and sound amazing. All the tech in it is great also, touch screen, bluetooth etc. I went from a SV6 wagon and im surprised at the little difference in fuel usage. For the price as well you cant go wrong - wish they were still making HSV as i would of eventually upgraded to a R8 Clubsport wagon!

Series 2 SSV REDLINE

published

White, manual, black roof with 20 inch factory allow rims.
Upgraded from a Suzuki Swift so the driving experience and build quality was 100% noticeable.
Unbelievable performance but of course it will cost you at the pump if you constantly put the pedal to the floor.
For such a large car handled very comfortable and precise when steering.
Of course you dont buy a V8 to be worried about the fuel cost but this is the only down fall of owning a beast like this but if thats the only disappointment, I can live with it. Worth every $$$ spent.
