I have an vz sv6 with the 6speed manual, i have found the car tobe faultless exept for it needed a clutch at 35000km, i was finding that it was always very laggy anywhere from 1000 to 2500 rpm i made a few enquireys and had the car tuned i got a extra 45kw and power now from 1500 rpm, it also improved the fuel eco does anywhere from 5.8 to 6.5 lt to the 100km on the highway
Overall the now is perfect
For Holden Commodore 2004 - 2006 SV6. Good power good fuel ecomeny
Bit slow down in the rev range

NEVER buy LPG version,stick to petrol only for a good car. Poor dealership service ie car returned to dealer for engine misfire 6 times and not resolved.
Falcon for me soon!
Handling,comfort and ride.
Factory LPG system totally unreliable,with constant warranty returns and issues never resolved.

This is a comfortable cruising car but lacks quality. Don't be fooled in buying an Australian car. I will be purchasing a Toyota next time round.
For Holden Commodore 2004 - 2006 Acclaim Wagon.
Spacious and smooth on long trips
The quality is not very good! All the doors leak closest to the roof in heavy rain & have done so since new despite numerious warranty attempts to fix it.
Sometimes the electric windows stop working & the front door locks have been replaced after 3 years.

For Holden Commodore 2004 - 2006 SV8. reliabity performance mine is holden by design . fuel in 5.7 quiet good

The SV6 is a fantastic car, has achieved all of my expectations. This car provides the driving pleasure of a sports with the practicality of a family sedan with enough torque for towing and the ability to overtake at will on the open road.
For Holden Commodore 2004 - 2006 SV6. Good fuel economy I got 7.91 ltr/km on last interstate trip, great handling and power with 6 speed manual.
Rear tyre wear, due to factory specs. (This can be rectified by wheel alignment). Slight engine noise.

I've had my Acclaim for 4 years now, and it's done the job. It's still the most spacious 'car' around, but it isn't as well built as I'd like. It also devalues far too quickly - mainly due to the huge fleet market out there. Now the kids are bigger, I'd definitely go for something else.
For Holden Commodore 2004 - 2006 Acclaim Wagon.. BIIIIG inside and perfect for a family with a lot of gear. The only non-4WD that would take 3 child seats side-by-side across the back.
Bits fall off. Creaks & groans. Resale value

The car is comfortable to drive, and makes little road noise. I love driving the wagon, especially as the back area comes in handy when making big purchases.
For Holden Commodore 2004 - 2006 Executive Wagon.
I love the amount of stuff you can fit into the back cargo area, also the fact that there is so much space in the back seat area. The interior is easy to clean, and and it is comfortable to drive.
I wish that the electric windows were on the drivers door, and not in the middle. I find that I am always trying to get to the window button, and something is always sitting on top of it. Also, can be a little thirsty on the petrol around town.

travelled to perth from regional victoria in this and whent along the coastal route....on of the best trips i must say! the fuel economy is quite acceptable considering the car and the comfort is really good too. seats are quite comfy and you can easily relax in this kind of car.this car is an exeptional family car but my mother divorced ...and took the car and promptly sold it for money.unfortunate really. it is a good car
For Holden Commodore 2004 - 2006 Executive Wagon.
My father used to own one of these....the features and comfort a a great bonus with this car.
not much to dislike...heck even the fuel ecconomy is good!

Very good car. heaps of room.
For Holden Commodore 2004 - 2006 Executive Wagon.
Good value for money. Solid car. i have had VT VX Vy and now a VZ it just keeps getting better. Very safe to drive and for a wagon its a great drive.
sometime under 1/4 tank on the fuel trip computer can be a little doggy.

We love this car. It has never missed a beat and has been so reliable for us. We do a bit of towing with it as well and it's handled it all with flying colours!
Very comfortable car to drive. Excellent acceleration, no sqeaks or rattles in our car which has just clicked over 106,000klms. Extremely good value for money.
We own the executive and would have liked power windows in the back, minor detail though.

can get power windows put in back, will loose car for a while though, but thats the same with doing anything to it, thats why i plan on buying sv6, much better smaller details, and better looking seats

I have this car for two years and i am still happy with it. I am in no hurry to trade or sell this car. I highly reccomend this vehicle to anyone seeking to buy a holden. Plus as the brand new models come out you are likely to be in style for a few years yet.
This car looks good on the outside for starters. The inside is terrific. I have seen many and had a couple. To me this is the best commodore.It is easy to drive and to work out the controls. It is smooth and has loads of power.
Some of the warnings come to early and the locks tend stick.

Hi Mick, I read that you're having problems with your Holden Commodore VZ particularly with the "low idle, stall" which could likely be a computer problem (mix up) after you've "changed the battery", (I'm wondering if your vehicle is coded with a 4 digit number? and is the main centre screen on dash showing any message asking for the code?) Or it could be your computer may need to be remapped (tune) and if you've tried that and it hasn't worked, maybe your car needs to "relearn the idle"and best advice is to take it to a trusted Holden dealer.
