A very strong, powerful and relaxing car to drive. We love the look of the back of the car. Our Calais has the FE2 suspension and handles very well without being too firm. The car has lots of nice little extras over the base models such as the vanity mirror lights and a better quality sound system and trim. We get very good fuel economy for the size of the engine. The car seems to use around 1 -2 litres per 100km more than the V6 C'Dore we have around town and about 1 litre more per 100km on highway cycle. Mind you we drive the Calais gently. W...Read more
ould I buy another? If it was the right car that had been serviced regularly with sensible km's yes but good examples are getting thin on the ground. VX Calais V8 Series 2. A very comfortable effortless tourer. It is still a good looking car even though it's now 7 years old. It also doubles as a very good tow vehicle. Our has very low KM's and is still very tight to drive. Limited slip diff can be a bit clunky at times. Dealer tells us this is normal. They have been telling us that for 7 years. We have changed the diff oil and that seems to have made it better. The dark blue paint (Vepsers Mica) gets dirty very quickly and seems to accentuate any scratches. In our opinion the factory alloy wheels are very bland. The engine was rebuilt at 34,000kms under warranty due to excessive oil consumption. The dealer told us this was quiet common. The factory exhaust doesn't sound like the old V8's.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Would never buy another holden again! gone back to mitsubishi that gives you a 10 year guarantee.Unless one day holden thinks there cars are built well enough to do the same.
fast,comfy to drive,plenty of room
Not good towing,built for speed.Bought 2 yr old 2002 model,3 months after buying had to replace gear box $5000,after a year gearbox and head went $4500,last month repaired minor things including engine mounts, aircon etc and another $4000. Has been towed 5 times and yes it was serviced on time each time.Also had to get boot done as it no longer opened $170

I bought my VX Lumina wagon in 2004 and have done around 100,000km. It had over 200,000km on it when I bought it. This car is awesome for a family. It has room for everything and is very economical for a 6 cylinder. It has had a few things go wrong with it, which is to be expected due to wear and tear on components, but nothing major. It doesn't even leak oil!
I love this car and don't know what I'll replace it with when eventually the time comes.
Comfortable to drive and ride in, cheap to repair when things do go wrong (not often).

Good sounding original stereo. Quiet engine. Roomy backseat - enough for 2 booster seats & adult. Heaps of cargo space in the wagon. Red paintwork fades if you don't have undercover parking. Some electrics starting to play up eg. steering wheel controls don't work, an electric window sometimes doesn't work. Typical Commodore roof lining falling down.
