2015 SV6 Storm best buy for the $

published

Love this car. Best value car for the $. Economical .9 to 10 liters per 100 KLM around town. 6.4 to 7.5 highway driving. Perfect mechanically. Always serviced at Holden dealership. Powerful and beautiful premium Prussian Steel paint. Roomy. Would have liked full fold down rear seat and Hurrican mufflers but hey, this is a superb car and a keeper. Better than the new BMW, Turbo Falcon and Jag I used to drive. Buy one while you still can with low mileage. Cheers.

Purchased in January 2021 at Eagers Holden Brisbane for $35,000.00.

Wouldn’t dream of any other car.

published

I bought a beautiful red VF ssv redline about 2 years ago. Start of 2017. It caught my eye and every other vf that I looked at just didn’t appeal to me and I kept going back to the exact car that caught my eye from the moment I saw it. I knew it was the one! So I bought it. And it’s the best car I’ve ever owned in my life it was 2014 model. It has so much power I loved it! So immaculate and fancy inside and out, handles very very well and never ever found one problem with it. It may be a V8 but it’s still the perfect car for that ideal family who love style and class. It has the special car seat safety harness attachments inside the seats too so extra safe for a baby!



Purchased in February 2021 at Holden Dealers for $48,439.00.

Final Holden made in Aus!

published

Fantastic car! The last ever made in Australia and we are glad we bought one. Used daily for family travel this car provided comfort as well as luxury. Getting serviced every 6-8months is working well, still only on our first set of breaks but third set of tires, the down side to low profile tires.

Nice car with all bells and whistles

Bought our Holden Calais VF in 2016 from Brighton Holden., best decision we made. We have had a BMW and other cars but this one ticked all the boxes. It is powerful, spacious, latest tech, drives well, mileage is good too. My wife loves it's self parking function and the Bose speakers

Great car, but few problems

published

Was a great car to buy brand new. Just a few finish problems, the unit under the passenger seat is loose and allows water in.
The passenger seat cover (standard) lifts at the base.
The MyLink is super buggy but can live with it.
Has plenty of room in all aspects, leg, boot and rear passenger.
Gearbox was way too soft.

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

published

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!

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.

Questions & Answers

Dave

Daveasked

Occasionally If I do a long trip on a hot day the fuel gauge stops working. The next day after a trip the fuel gauge works normally. Holden put the scanner on the car and the gauge corrected itself. can you please provide a possible explanation or is this a known problem. My car is a 2014 SV6 with only 70,000 kilometres.

I am considering buying a good second hand VF series two fairly soon, to replace a very reliable VX S Pack.
But one thing holds me back... MY VX has 331000 k's on it and while the engine is rattly, it still goes and is reliable.
Has the dreaded timing chain stretch issue that plagued the VZ to VE V6 models finally been sorted?
If so, just what did Holden do to resolved the issue? I know about the software "work-around" put in to mask the issue, but has the problem itself, been solved?
Thanks.

Good question. I'm looking around for a second hand Commodore because the fords seem too small for me to get in and out of comfortably, but i can't afford anything 2013 onwards. A mate says to avoid these models due to the timing chain issue, he bought a very nice 2002 model i may have to buy something of that era.

mirrabucca

Agreed . Room is one reason I bought the VX. With the front seat set comfortably for me, I can stretch my legs out (off the pedals) and straighten my knees! Great on a trip - set cruise, and give those tired old knees a stretch! Oh, and without moving the seat, I can easily get in the back seat (behind my seat) And have good leg room. I am 6'4 in the old money.
That's comfortable room!

My VF Storm 2015 appears to be a lemon sadly. Purchased brand new and at 32K shot a fuel pump needed towing. At 63K yet again a fuel pump failure towed again allegedly fixed then after 80 klms same again and towed. Has anyone else had this issue.. Dealer not being very helpful?

Hi Shane. My son has a similar problem with his 2014 VF SV6. It has stalled several times and required towing. He has only done 70,000km. Nobody at the local Holden service centre seems to be able to diagnose the problem. Have you had any luck with yours since this post??

Shane Edwards
Shane Edwards

Hey Michael after it was towed for the 3rd time and 5 weeks without it. The 3rd new fuel pump was put in and a section of the wiring loom replaced. So far so good but I dont trust the car now sadly. Holden warranty is useless

mirrabucca
mirrabucca

I have heard on other forums that the fuel pump wiring can get trapped when the tank is replaced. Sometimes the section of wiring loom is replaced, or simply insulated. Perhaps the dealer has done this at the last visit, or should do. Maybe if it happens again, seek the support of an experienced auto electrician. I mean experienced! You dont want some hick learning his trade on your car.
