If you don't really want the hassle and fuel prices of the V8 SS, then I would definitely recommend the SV6. It accelerates very nicely when called upon, and with smooth driving I managed a very respectable 8.0litres per 100km consistantly in mixed city/country trips. The interior is much better looking than the VE, although it is a little tired having been used in the VY, but I never found that an issue. The seating and legroom I found very comfortable with controls easy to access and use, and there was more than enough boot space. The onl...Read more

First my transmission start to clunk while it was on warranty, since its not a major fault no repairs done.
After warranty expire here it all comes, front suspension bushes fell apart because they were made from cheap rubber and specifically designed to last only 3 years. for $1000 replaced to all Nolathane. Cooling pump failed, replaced $500. Driver seat broken, replaced under warranty. Steering rack has a play in it, delater quoted $800, I did not do this one and still drive with it. Exhaust vibration on certain RPM.
Dear Holden please sto...Read more

This has beean a reliable safe family car.
The Boot swallows a double pram and has plenty of room for extras
Three child restraint points that you can actualy use without loosing all your cargo space
Has been verry cheap to service and run ( compared to our previous car a 2006 Vw Golf)
Drives well is a little bit too firm in the suspension but handles well
We have averaged 10.4 litre per 100ks (usually around 8.5 on a trip) but you do notice it if you do a trip to Brisbane and get stuck in traffic jumps up on the tripmeter to 14.5 l/100 re...Read more

The Commodore Lumina is a nice package with cruise, fogs, 6 airbags, FE2 suspension on 17" rims etc...
I bought this car second hand at 110000kms, and in 6 months I've covered just over 35,000kms.
Whether in an urban environment, or as in my case rural, it's well suited for the tasks required.
It is a comfortable car on long hauls, interior noise levels are low, the air conditioning is a gem, and with a 75 litre tank gets you a good distance with room to spare. The gauges in the dash are clear and easy to read without the problems associated...Read more

I was a Holden lover. Bought a 2005 Equipe brand new in July 2005. To this date I have only done 32,500Km. The car us under-used for its age. The rear axle bearings started becoming noisy about two years ago. One Holden dealer in Fremantle (last year) said they couldn't hear the noise. So, this year I went to a different Holden dealer as my warranty was going to expire. They said that there was definitely a 'whoop, whoop, whoop" noise coming from the rear. Luckily I had an extended (5 years) warranty for the drive train and I have just had the ...Read more

I "love" My 2005 VZ Holden Commodore Executive Sedan!! From the moment I laid eyes on my VZ I fell in love and had to have it! My VZ is my First Holden I have ever owned and I'm extremely impressed. My VZ is above and beyond reliable and having the ability to take off on a road trip when ever the time becomes available without a worry in the world is a great feeling. The beautiful glossy mirror like thick high quality paint and the sleek sporty clean line unique look of my VZ makes it stand out from the rest and for such a large comfortable car...Read more

This is my second consecutive Commodore on 3 year leases - just about to pass this one back. Overall it's been good but for what was effectively a $40,000 car (I paid full price + auto + air) I expect a tighter package and I suspect the new Omega delivers that. 2nd hand price: BARGAIN! I love my VZ Commodore Executive and would happily keep it and recommend it. Two friends have asked to buy mine ex-lease which says a lot.
Roomy inside. Amazing how much you can fit in the car (entire dining suite incl 6 chairs last week!). Shape/design still l...Read more

I had the missfortune of driving the new "sportswagon" from holden recently for a photo shoot. This car is about what I expect from a Chinese manufacturer not from Holden. The drivers door opened 4 times during the test and the stability control system was lethargic in operation to say the least. The general fit and finnish of the car was of poor quality and not what you would expect from a car of this price.
The name sportswagon used to appear on the early Hyundai Lantra wagons maybe when Holden took the name they should have taken the d...Read more

Best car we have ever owned, has heaps of room for everything, no one is squished even if there are 3 adults in the back seat. Would be nice if it was a bit more economical to drive!
For Holden Commodore 2004 - 2006 Executive Wagon.
Great size for a family, boot has HEAPS of room for everything you could imagine, all the 'bits' for the spare tyre have little 'houses' to keep it all neat and tidy. Back seat is flat and doesn't have the 'hump' in the middle that many cars have.
The cover that goes over the boot can be a bit temper mental, you ...Read more

Soon after I got my driving license, my dad bought me a 2006 Commodore VZ Acclaim. The car is a thrill to drive! It is simply unique! I love the aggressive exterior body-styling, and the rather sport-inspired interior!

The car drives wonderfully! For a big car, it really handles very well; in fact, it doesn't feel like driving a big car at all! The steering is precise and the throttle is responsive.

As long as the car has a good service history, go for it! The only problem you may experience is some faulty sensors, which shows up when the...Read more

After owning the Executive for quite some time, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Even in the Executive trim, there are some small features that you start taking for granted and feel disappointment when other cars you drive don't have them. Some of these features are the ignition - rather than holding the key in the ON position until it kicks over, you simply turn it from accessories so it engages ON and let it go - it kicks over itself. Other small features are the options for auto-headlamp changes, 2hr constant drive 'rest reminder' and other various ...Read more
