The best Aussie car ever

published

Sold a VE 2010 Omega and got a 2015 SV6 Storm Sedan, it handles beautifully a little tyre noise on rough roads but less than the Omega, the interior is very upmarket and the Sat Nav works great. Not had it long enough for reliability tests but up to now it runs perfectly.

The Holden VF Commodore is by far the best ever made, Bimodle Exhaust, safety features, fuel economy has all been nailed by GMH, everything from starting the car from outside, blind spot alert, holdens mylink infotainment system, bluetooth, voice activation, leather interior, alloy wheels, electronic steering, head up display, self parking, and so much more

How to reset the "Change oil light" on the dash.

published

First with car off, Push and hold Start / stop button on for approx. 10 seconds or when dash lights flash. Then push the accelerator pedal to the floor in 3 quick motions and then push start / stop button again to turn off. All reset.
Holding the button down the 10 seconds is important. The Holden dealership wanted to charge $20 to reset this. What a joke. It took 30 seconds to reset. This may be needed if you get the car serviced before the oil change reminder light comes on.

I am happy with my 2015 SV Storm SV6

published

Having had a power steering rack replaced in a 2013 VF Calais, I am very happy with the 2015 Storm SV 6. No excessive noise either
Interior is wonderful. Better than the Calais except that I don't have push button start/stop or electric seat adjustment. Leg room is ideal for me
So far reliability is fine.as is fuel consumption.
Satnav is a welcome addition to the SV6.

COMMODORE 2016 SV6 BLACK EDITION DISAPOINTING

published

This latest offering from Holden will soon take the smile off your dial when you hit the course chip, very poor noise suppression, flimsy door seals,and missing underbody protection panels that were on previous series
these panels known as the aero package.have been removed exposing unpainted chasis rails and wiring to the elements they also helped reduce the road roar from the very noisy Bridgstone Potenza tyres fitted as standard.
The government fuel usage figures would now be invalid as these panels would have been there for the tests as they improve the fuel consumption with the the smooth underbody they created
Before you buy an SV6 BLACK look underneath it may have a Holden badge but its actually a Fraud

Great value car

published

Purchased our Calais March 2014. Great fuel economy for its size on the open road however it does suffer a little in traffic.
Towing our caravan is a breeze with the Holden heavy duty tow pack and load equalising bars
Only issues we have had were both fixed by the dealer, no questions asked. First issue was the rear passenger door was not aligned correctly which was realigned. The second was a bluetooth pairing issue with my wife's iPhone which was fixed with a firmware update of the Mylink system.
I think having a good dealer makes a difference,

From Old to New

published

After I sold my 2004 BMW 5 series, I bought an Sv6 in Nov 2014. Best decision I made. The interior is sophisticated and has a sporty feel to it. I honestly couldn't fault the car besides its A pillar blind spot. Great car. Very quiet inside aswell. It is a bit heavy on the fuel, but, I don't really care. Perfect family car. It handles really well with its 3.6L V6. I'm 6'3 and I've got plenty of space to relax inside. As a family man, this car fits all the categories I could look for in a car

Not much different from a cheap Asian car.

published

With mild, excited anticipation, I rented a SV6 whilst away on business - dissapointed.
The motor is unrefined & noisy. Panel work seems to be exceptionally thin which presents a very 'tinny' sound when raining. Interior is gawdy, poorly finished with cheap looking plastics.
Fabulous boot space. Plenty of acceleration, reasonable ride/handling. Spacious interior.
Don't think Holden are making an effort on their final cars!
My 8 year old Audi A4 is streets ahead of this Commodore in all areas!
Spend the extra on an Audi! If you test drive one you'll want one!

Steering went at 20,000km!!.

Great car,this is my 4th Commodore. Noticed a tight feedback & squeal coming from the steering after 20k's. Took it into my local Holden dealer & turn's out the steering rack had worn,20,000k's & this happen's!!. Not sure if Holden are aware of this being frequently brought up,but the dealer said mine wasn't the only one they've seen,with the same problem. All in all though,a beautiful car to drive & probably the best Holden have ever made.

Nice car but a lot of issues - check ALL the recalls and search for the EPS issue

published

One thing to say...Holden have said straight to my face- the will risk a fatality rather than replace power steering racks in cars...I ask you if this is the manufacturers mentality how can you buy one of their cars

Read all the comments and then spend your money elsewhere - their care factor, customer service AND CONCERN FOR YOUR SAFETY is NON_EXISTENT

VF (Sedan) (2013-2017)

Are timing chains still an issue in the sv6 my17 series 2 sedans? As mine arrives next week. It has only done 34,000 km. And how much do they cost currently to repair if need be?

2 answers

Cost depends on who does the job Holden dealers. Lube mobile. My car ( kmart tyre & auto) ultra tune. will charge 10 times more than a local independent mechanic Yes timing chains are still an issue some are failing at 50,000 km

Gary H.
Gary H.

Timing chains are *not* an issue in VF Commodores as they were in the VZ-series, where a faulty batch was mixed up with the correct chains, thus causing elongation and stretch, typically around 50,000 to 70,000km. The VF (SIDI DI) chain metrics are similar and same number of chains, but do not have faults. They should easily last the life of the engine without changing, provided service intervals are adhered to. Where VZ chains required replacement, it was a $3,000 job and 2.5 days.

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.

Thanks Michael. I suspect that it is an electrical glitch in the fuel sender unit.
